Application Fundamentals (Android)
0
The provided text discusses various aspects of Android app development fundamentals. It covers key concepts related to app components, the AndroidManifest.xml file, and app resources. Android apps are built using various components, including Activities, Services, Broadcast Receivers, and Content Providers. These components serve different purposes and have distinct lifecycles. Activities are used for user interaction, services for background tasks, broadcast receivers for system-wide event handling, and content providers for managing shared data.The AndroidManifest.xml file is essential for declaring app components, permissions, and other settings. It informs the Android system about the app's components and capabilities. For instance, it specifies the minimum API level, declares hardware and software requirements, and defines intent filters to enable components to respond to specific actions.It's crucial to declare app requirements, such as device features and minimum Android API levels, to ensure compatibility with different devices and configurations. These declarations help in filtering the app's availability on Google Play for users with compatible devices.Android apps rely on resources separate from code, including images, layouts, strings, and more. These resources are stored in various directories and can be tailored for different device configurations. Providing alternative resources allows for optimization across different languages, screen sizes, orientations, and other factors.
Understanding these fundamentals is essential for developing Android applications effectively, ensuring compatibility, and providing a consistent user experience across a wide range of devices and configurations.
Introduction to Probabilistic Graphical Models
0
This website summarizes the notes of Stanford's introductory course on probabilistic graphical models.
It starts from the very basics and concludes by explaining from first principles the variational auto-encoder, an important probabilistic model that is also one of the most influential recent results in deep learning.
Regular Expressions
0
Regular expressions (sometimes referred to as RegEx) is an incredibly powerful tool that is used to define string patterns for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular Expressions are used in search engines, in search and replace dialogs of word processors and text editors, and text-processing Linux utilities such as sed and awk. They are supported in many programming languages, including Python, R, Perl, Java, and others.
R for Research Scientists
0
A book for researchers who contribute code to R projects: This booklet is the result of my work with the Social Cognition for Social Justice lab. It was developed in response to questions I was getting from students; both grad students that were making software design decisions, and undergraduates who were using things like version control for the first time. Although many tutorials and resources exist for these topics, there was not a single source that I thought covered just enough material to build up to the workflow used by the lab without extraneous detail.

GPU Computing Workshop Series for the Earth Science Community
0
GPU training series for scientists, software engineers, and students, with emphasis on Earth science applications.
The content of this course is coordinated with the 6 month series of GPU Training sessions starting in Februrary 2022. The NVIDIA High Performance Computing Software Development Kit (NVHPC SDK) and CUDA Toolkit will be the primary software requirements for this training which will be already available on NCAR's HPC clusters as modules you may load. This software is free to download from NVIDIA by navigating to the NVHPC SDK Current Release Downloads page and the CUDA Toolkit downloads page. Any provided code is written specifically to build and run on NCAR's Casper HPC system but may be adapted to other systems or personal machines. Material will be updated as appropriate for the future deployment of NCAR's Derecho cluster and as technology progresses.
