Portability among hardware and adaptability to the constrained resources of mobile devices: this is the real essence of the mobile challenge from a technical perspective. With Android, ones has to deal with multiple screen resolutions, various CPU and GPU speed or capabilities, memory limitations, and so on, which are not topics specific to this Linux-based system, (that is, Android) but can particularly be incommoding.
To ease portability, Google engineers packaged a virtual machine with a complete framework (the Android SDK) to run programs written in one of the most spread programming language nowadays: Java. Java, augmented with the Android framework, is really powerful. But first, Java is specific to Android. Apple's products are written for example in Objective C and can be combined with C and C++. And second, a Java virtual machine does not always give you enough capability to exploit the full power of mobile devices, even with just-in-time compilation enabled. Resources are limited on these devices and have to be carefully exploited to offer the best experience. This is where the Android Native Development Kit comes into place.
Unity开发的书很多很杂，质量参差不齐。这本书是我觉得比较好的一本，推荐给大家！
Unity is the perfect choice for small studios, indie developers, and those of us who have always wanted to make our own games. Its large user base (over 400,000 as of April 2011) and extremely active user community allows everyone from newbies to seasoned veterans to get answers and share information quickly.
Unity provides an excellent entry point into game development, balancing features and functionality with price point. The free version of Unity allows people to experiment, learn, develop, and sell games before committing any of their hard-earned cash. Unity’s very affordable, feature-packed Pro version is royalty free, allowing people to make and sell games with the very low overhead essential to the casual games market.

Windows 8 represents Microsoft’s desire to break out of the traditional desktop computing market and
make an impact in the mobile world, which has been dominated by Android devices and, of course, Apple
products.
Microsoft’s plan is to offer the user consistency across devices, allowing the same apps to operate on
the user’s data irrespective of which device, or which kind of device, the user has at hand. This is attractive
to many users and it leverages Microsoft’s greatest asset—the leading position in the desktop computing
market—to drive sales, acceptance, and credibility in the tablet and smart-phone markets.
The traditional Windows desktop isn’t a good model for consistency across different types of devices,
and attempts to add touch support and rework the interface for smaller screens have not ended well.
Trying to extend the old Windows model to small devices is part of the reason Microsoft’s previous forays
into the mobile world have fared so badly.
And that’s where Windows apps come in. Rather than perpetuate its existing application model,
Microsoft has decided to create a new one. Windows Store applications, more commonly known as apps,
are available on every device that can run Windows 8 and its derivatives (Windows Phone 8, Windows RT,
etc.). More important, Windows apps run as well on large-screen desktop machines with a mouse and
keyboard as they do on a moderately sized touch-screen tablet. Windows Store apps are a big departure
from regular Windows desktop apps: they fill the screen, don’t have title bars and buttons, and have a
completely different look and feel.
Another big departure for Microsoft is that you can use web technologies to create apps, which is the
reason I have written this book and, most likely, the reason you are reading it. By embracing HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript, Microsoft has embraced a completely new community of developers, who can take their
knowledge of web app development and apply it to Windows app development.

Smashing Node.js （英文ePub）
Node.JS became an instant success, spawning a vibrant open source community, supporting companies, and even necessitating its own conference. I would attribute this success to a combination of simplicity, improved programming productivity, and high performance. I’m pleased V8 played a small part in this.

Beginning WebGL for HTML5 （英文PDF）
WebGL (Web-based Graphics Language) is a wonderful and exciting new technology that lets you create
powerful 3D graphics within a web browser. The way that this is achieved is by using a JavaScript API that
interacts with the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This book will quickly get you on your way to demystify
shaders and render realistic scenes. To ensure enjoyable development, we will show how to use debugging tools
and survey libraries which can maximize productivity.
This book presents theory when necessary and examples whenever possible. You will get a good overview of what
you can do with WebGL.
