Discover SyncML, the new global standard for synchronizing virtually any mobile device Covers both the technical and business issues Covers personal and enterprise applications, new mobile services, security, device management, and more Includes practical guidance for coding and integrating SyncML solutions By four leaders of the SyncML standards community "The authors have in-depth, firsthand knowledge of the inner workings of SyncML technology. This is an essential guide for anyone building or implementing data synchronization and device management applications."--Douglas Heintzman Director and Chairman of the Board, SyncML Initiative, Ltd. Introducing SyncML: the new XML-based standard for universal synchronization. Effective, standards-based data synchronization will make possible a new generation of breakthrough mobile services. Now, there's an XML-based standard that enables synchronization across virtually any device, platform, application, or service: SyncML. In this book, four leaders of the SyncML community offer an insider's guide to SyncML from both a technical and business standpoint. You'll discover why SyncML offers advantages available through no other technology; how SyncML overcomes the traditional obstacles to universal synchronization, and how SyncML can be integrated into end-to-end solutions that deliver a first-class "out of the box" experience. SyncML solutions for personal information management, enterprise data management, and mobile services SyncML clients, servers, synchronization/representation protocols, DTDs, transport bindings, and more Synchronization for one-to-one,many-to-one, many-to-many, and hybrid topologies Security and authentication in SyncML applications and services Using SyncML to provision and manage mobile devices The SyncML API, Reference Implementation, and SyncML Conformance and Interoperability Process SyncML is designed for every business and technology professional concerned with mobile applications and synchronization. Decision-makers will learn how SyncML will drive new business models and the delivery of entirely new products and services. Software architects and project managers will discover how SyncML components can be integrated into complete solutions; and developers will learn how to maximize the performance, reliability, and scalability of those solutions.

Software Development is moving towards a more agile and more flexible approach. It turns out that the traditional "waterfall" model is not supportive in an environment where technical, financial and strategic constraints are changing almost every day. But what is agility? What are today’s major approaches? And especially: What is the impact of agile development principles on the development teams, on project management and on software architects? How can large enterprises become more agile and improve their business processes, which have been existing since many, many years? What are the limitations of Agility? And what is the right balance between reliable structures and flexibility? This book will give answers to these questions. A strong emphasis will be on real life project examples, which describe how development teams have moved from a waterfall model towards an Agile Software Development approach.
