Oxford University Press, 2011

When the U.S. liberated the Philippines from Spanish rule in 1898, the exploit was hailed at home as a great moral victory, an instance of Uncle Sam freeing an oppressed country from colonial tyranny.

Scripting in Java: Integrating with Groovy and JavaScript

Apress, 2014

When I wrote the three volumes of Harnessing Java 7 in 2012, I did not include a chapter on the Java Scripting API because of the limited space that I had for each volume. Note the phrase “Java Scripting,” which uses two separate words: “Java” and “Scripting.” “JavaScript” is the name of a...

Mobile Design and Development: Practical concepts and techniques for creating mobile sites and web apps (Animal Guide)

O'Reilly, 2009

I’ll be honest: I’m an introduction-skipper. When I sit down with a technical book, I skip right past the introduction or preface and go straight for the goods.
