Combinatorial, Linear, Integer and Nonlinear Optimization Apps by J. MacGregor Smith Pdf

This textbook provides an introduction to the use and understanding of optimization and modeling for upper-level undergraduate students in engineering and mathematics. The formulation of optimization problems is founded through concepts and techniques from operations research: Combinatorial Optimization, Linear Programming, and Integer and Nonlinear Programming (COLIN). Computer Science (CS) is also relevant and important given the applications of algorithms and Apps/algorithms (A) in solving optimization problems. Each chapter provides an overview of the main concepts of optimization according to COLINA, providing examples through App Inventor and AMPL software applications. All apps developed through the text are available for download. Additionally, the text includes links to the University of Wisconsin NEOS server, designed to handle more computing-intensive problems in complex optimization. Readers are encouraged to have some background in calculus, linear algebra, and related mathematics.

Learning MIT App Inventor by Derek Walter,Mark Sherman Pdf

With MIT’s App Inventor 2, anyone can build complete, working Android apps—without writing code! This complete tutorial will help you do just that, even if you have absolutely no programming experience. Unlike books focused on the obsolete Google version, Learning MIT App Inventor is written from the ground up for MIT’s dramatically updated Version 2. The authors guide you step-by-step through every task and feature, showing you how to create apps by dragging, dropping, and connecting puzzle pieces—not writing code. As you learn, you’ll also master expert design and development techniques you can build on if you ever do want to write code. Through hands-on projects, you’ll master features ranging from GPS to animation, build high-quality user interfaces, make everything work, and test it all with App Inventor’s emulator. (You won’t even need an Android device!) All examples for this book are available at theapplanet.com/appinventor Coverage includes: Understanding mobile devices and how mobile apps run on them Planning your app's behavior and appearance with the Designer Using the Blocks Editor to tell your app what to do and how to do it Creating variables and learning how to use them effectively Using procedures to group and reuse pieces of code in larger, more complicated apps Storing data in lists and databases Using App Inventor's gaming, animation, and media features Creating more sophisticated apps by using multiple screens Integrating sensors to make your app location-aware Debugging apps and fixing problems Combining creativity and logical thinking to envision more complex apps

Android Apps with App Inventor 2 by Karl-Hermann Rollke Pdf

With the development environment App Inventor 2 you can easily develop and test your own apps. The book is intended to help you get started with setting up the development environment right through to your own apps. It is written for beginners who want to deal with app development, but can also be used for teaching purposes in schools or community colleges. It is a step-by-step guide that does not focus on the full description of the programming language, but uses examples to illustrate the capabilities of the development environment. It starts with setting up the environment and the Android device. It continues with simple apps, via variable concepts and control structures to more complex topics. Event-driven apps are developed, subroutines are handled and sensors are queried. Working with multiple screens is just as important as files and dialogs. The examples are chosen so that the topics with increasing difficulty are treated as systematically as possible. The examples are not too complex to be easily understood. They should serve as inspiration for own projects. A technically strict systematology and a complete description of the programming language is not intended to not overwhelm beginners.
