The Twitter API consists of three parts: two REST APIs and a Streaming API. The two distinct REST APIs are entirely due to history. Summize, Inc. was originally an independent company that provided search capability for Twitter data. Summize was later acquired and rebranded as Twitter Search. Rebranding the site was easy, fully integrating Twitter Search and its API into the Twitter codebase is more difficult. It is in our pipeline to unify the APIs, but until resources allow the REST API and Search API will remain as separate entities. The Streaming API is distinct from the two REST APIs as Streaming supports long-lived connections on a different architecture.

The Twitter REST API methods allow developers to access core Twitter data. This includes update timelines, status data, and user information. The Search API methods give developers methods to interact with Twitter Search and trends data. The concern for developers given this separation is the effects on rate limiting and output format. The Streaming API provides near real-time high-volume access to Tweets in sampled and filtered form.

To learn about the methods and data available through the API, review the Twitter API technical documentation.

We publicly disclose current defects and enhancements. Current defects and enhancement priorities can be viewed on our issues list. Long term goals are recorded in the roadmap document.

The API is updated regularly with new features. We occasionally deprecate features. All of these changes are communicated in the following places:

• @twitterapi on Twitter.
• The low-volume Twitter API Announcements Google group.
• The conversation on the Twitter Development Talk Google group.

The Facebook API allows web developers to create Facebook applications and access Facebook data from other applications. Facebook API Developers Guide covers the use and implementation of the Facebook API—what the key features are and how you can access them. You will learn, through practical examples, the main features of the Facebook API including an introduction to the API–specific languages FQL and FBML. These examples are further supported by the introduction of other technologies like language libraries, relational database management systems, and XML.

• Covers all key features of the Facebook API
• Explains the API languages FQL and FBML
• Teaches by example, with useful code and tips you can use in your own applications

CodeIgniter es un entorno de desarrollo abierto que permite crear webs dinámicas con PHP. Su principal objetivo es ayudar a que los desarrolladores, puedan realizar proyectos mucho más rápido que creando toda la estructura desde cero.

También hay que destacar que CodeIgniter es más rápido que muchos otros entornos. Incluso en una discusión sobre entornos de desarrollo con PHP, Rasmus Lerdorf (el creador de PHP) expresó que le gustaba CodeIgniter “porquee es rápido, ligero y parece poco un entorno”.

Descripción
Este texto muestra las distintas técnicas que se necesitan para diseñar aplicaciones informáticas desde la perspectiva de la orientación a objetos, usando lo que se denomina UML (Lenguaje Unificado de Modelado).
Pretende adiestrar en las técnicas de análisis orientadas al objeto así como capacitar en los métodos, notación y símbolos de UML.
Los conceptos se llevan a la práctica con Visual Modeler, la herramienta de Microsoft para el modelado de objetos.
Va dirigido a personas con amplia experiencia en desarrollo de aplicaciones desde la perspectiva de la programación.

Teaches the fundamentals to administer any one of four key UNIX-based systems: Red Hat Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Apple's MAC OS . Guaranteed UNIX system administration competency in just 24 one-hour lessons. Highlights differences among the different UNIXes and explains to the reader how to avoid potential problems. Once finished with this book, readers will be able to Log in to any UNIX system and use standard UNIX tools to learn about the state of that system, diagnose Basic problems, and maintain the system. In the wake of the highly successful Sams Teach Yourself UNIX in 24 Hours, this book focuses on the additional UNIX commands that an advanced user or beginning system administrator needs to know in order to administer and maintain a UNIX system. The book includes coverage of the key UNIX variations: Red Hat Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Apple's MAC OS X environment. The book will not be a comprehensive solution to all problems facing new system administrators, but instead is a tutorial introduction to the process of learning about and maintaining a running UNIX server. Dave Taylor is an expert on a broad array of Computer and networking technology, with over twenty years of industry experience. The creator of The Internet Mall and iTrack, he has also worked at HP's Palo Alto Research Labs and helped publish SunWorld magazine. He's written the best-selling Sams Teach Yourself UNIX in 24 Hours and Creating Cool HTML 4 Web Pages from Hungry Minds.

La plataforma NetBeans permite que las aplicaciones sean desarrolladas a partir de un conjunto de componentes de software llamados módulos. Un módulo es un archivo Java que contiene clases de java escritas para interactuar con las APIs de NetBeans y un archivo especial (manifest file) que lo identifica como módulo. Las aplicaciones construidas a partir de módulos pueden ser extendidas agregándole nuevos módulos. Debido a que los módulos pueden ser desarrollados independientemente, las aplicaciones basadas en la plataforma NetBeans pueden ser extendidas fácilmente por otros desarrolladores de software.
