Ubuntu Philosophy and Disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa (Interdisciplinary Disability Studies)
by Oliver MutangaThis book uses Ubuntu philosophy to illuminate the voices of people with disabilities from Sub-Saharan Africa. Disability literature is largely dominated by scholars and studies from the Global North, and these studies are largely informed by Global North theories and concepts. Although disability literature in the Global South is now fast growing, most studies continue to utilise conceptual, theoretical, and philosophical frameworks that are framed within Global North contexts. This presents two major challenges: Firstly, the voices of people with disabilities in the Global South remain on the fringes of disability discourses. Secondly, when their voices are heard, their realities are distorted. This edited book, consisting of 11 chapters, provides case studies from Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Uganda, and South Africa, explores disability in various fields: Inclusive education, higher education, environment, Open Distance Learning, and Technical and Vocational Education and Technical Colleges. The book contributes to the ways in which disability is understood and experienced in the Global South thereby challenging the Western hegemonic discourses on disability. This collection of contributions will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, development studies, medical sociology, and African studies.

You'll also see how to use the Bodymovin plugin in After Effects to export your animation to a JSON file.The book starts by giving you an overview of Lottie and LottieFiles. As you keep reading, you'll understand the entire Lottie ecosystem and get hands-on with classic 2D animation principles. You'll also get a step-by-step guided tour to ideate, sketch for storytelling, design an icon that will fulfill the needs and expectations of users based on UX, and finally animate it in Adobe After Effects. This will help you get familiar with the After Effects environment, work with vector shape layers, create and modify keyframes using layer properties, explore path and mask features, and adjust timing easily to create professional-looking animations.By the end of this animation book, you'll be able to create and export your own Lottie animations using After Effects and implement them in mobile apps using React Native. You'll also have an understanding of 2D animation best practices and principles that you can apply in your own projects.What you will learnGet started with Lottie and integrate animations either by creating them from scratch or by downloading them through LottieFilesExplore the key principles of 2D classic animationUnderstand the basics to create your first animation using After EffectsExport your animations into Lottie JSON files through BodymovinIntegrate your very first Lottie icon animation inside your React Native appControl your animation within the app through React APIs, while exploring best practices and common pitfallsWho this book is forThis book is for developers and engineers who are already familiar with React Native, as well as UX and UI designers who want to create their own animations and integrate them with their platforms through React Native. Basic knowledge of JavaScript programming is assumed. Beginner-level illustration skills are also preferred, although not necessary.
UI Design for iOS App Development: Using SwiftUI
by Bear CahillDesign is a challenge for most developers. Without a background or training in user interface skills, it’s hard to navigate what choices make the best sense for the end user. This book shows you how to migrate from Storyboards to SwiftUI to design dynamic and engaging UIs for iOS apps. SwiftUI is new in iOS 13 but you may want to support past versions as well. To satisfy this, you'll start by reviewing nib/xib files and Storyboards and then move into SwiftUI and explore how to design apps in both UI toolkits. Gaining a firm base in technologies old and new will allow you to future proof your UI during this period of transition. Developers generally want to stay in code, but UI development tends to be a visual effort. This book takes a very structured and code-like approach to UI design to take the fear away. You’ll grasp Storyboards and Auto-Layout/Constraints, while also learning to move past them with the easier options in SwiftUI. A clear understanding of both technologies is key to keeping your most functional coding and also making things look right. With UI Design for iOS App Development, you’ll learn SwiftUI easily and get back into your code quickly.What You'll LearnBuild iOS app UIs both in current and new paradigmsWork with Storyboards and Auto-Layout/ConstraintsDesign UIs in a coder friendly wayWho This Book Is ForiOS developers building a strong foundation in UI design to fill in the gaps from their training. For veteran developers, it’s vital to be able to match your coding skills with equal UI/UX abilities.
