Publishing and/or Reading books

By
I would like to share with you a platform I found few weeks ago.
I've already mentionned SyncFusion ebooks in an earlier post (http://kampeki-factory.blogspot.fr/2015/03/syncfusion-free-eboks.html). Notice that they still add free books regulary.

The platform I discovered is called Leanpub (https://leanpub.com/).
  • As an author, you can propose your book, writen using your favorite tool. They are doing the publication in different formats (pdf, iPad, kindle...) on their side. An other interesting thing is that you set the price. In fact, you set two prices: the first one the is minimum price, and the second one is a suggested price.
  • As a reader, you are informed of those two prices. You can pay the minimum price (which can be 0$). Or you can follow the author advice and give him the price he thinks his book is really.

I- Introduction, OpenCV and EMGU Do you know OpenCV ( Open Source Computer Vision Library:  https://opencv.org/ ) ?  This open source library let's you work and play with images and videos with a lot of powerful image processing algorithms !  If you want some details, I suggest you to first navigate to the link above or search for 'OpenCV' on Google.  Examples of OpenCV processing found on the web (filters, object detection, edges...): EMGU is a .NET OpenCV wrapper. That means that you will be able to use OpenCV functionnalities in your .NET projects using C# for instance. EMGU is cross platform, so you will also be able to use it in your Xamarin projects ! That's great because there is no advanced image processing library in Xamarin. In this article, we will talk about EMGU and list the steps to setup a Xamarin Forms project using EMGU . It may help you because, we must say that it's not a trivial task...  II-What do I need...

Xamarin Forms essential: FFImageLoading, manage your images

Discover 'FFLoadingImage' library Today I want to make a quick presentation of a really good library for Xamarin Forms . This is the kind of library we would like to see more often on XF... This one is dedicated to image manipulation. It's called " FFImageLoading ". If I take time to make this presentation, it's because I think that we should use it in almost all our "basic" Xamarin Forms applications. When I say basic, I exclude Games or other specific apps. But in my mind, I suggest you to change all your traditional "<Image />" by "<FF:CachedImage />" in your apps. Before to start, where to find it ? On Github:  https://github.com/luberda-molinet/FFImageLoading On Nuget:  https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.FFImageLoading Main features So what will you find using this library ? I will not explain all the details but the main interesting features of the library. Multi-platform The good po...
