    Abstract: This video focuses exclusively on LED control and gradually builds in difficulty to integrate more complicated circuits and coding concepts in the Arduino IDE. LEDs are great for visualizing data so you will be able to see some of the more complicated concepts, such as pulse width modulation (PWM) and analog control, in real time on the breadboard. In this video, you will cover LED control with Arduino, beginning with some simple LED blinking (the “hello world” for electronics) and then build step-by-step by adding extra hardware to interface with the code and circuits (buttons, potentiometers, and so on). This video also explores how the different types of pins on the Arduino (digital, PWM-enabled, and analog) can affect how you control LEDs. You'll also experiment with data visualization, both with LEDs and the Arduino IDE’s built-in software visualizers. This video provides an interactive learning experience and with the building block approach you'll be able to gradually step into new concepts. What You'll Learn --Breadboard the circuits and code along with the video --Apply the core concepts further in your own projects later --Master LED control with Arduino, from blinking to Charlieplexing and everything in between Who This Video Is For Beginning to intermediate Arduino users who want to have a well-rounded knowledge on how they can control LEDs wim.

    Abstract: Learn applied numerical computing using the C programming language, starting with a quick primer on the C programming language and its SDK. This book then dives into progressively more complex applied math formula for computational methods using C with examples throughout and a larger, more complete application towards the end. Numerical C starts with the quadratic formula for finding solutions to algebraic equations that model things such as price vs. demand or rise vs. run or slip and more. Later in the book, you'll work on the augmented matrix method for simultaneous equations. You’ll also cover Monte Carlo method model objects that could arise naturally as part of the modeling of a real-life system, such as a complex road network, the transport of neutrons, or the evolution of the stock market. Furthermore, the Monte Carlo method of integration examines the area under a curve including rendering or ray tracing and the shading in a region. Furthermore, you'll work with the product moment correlation coefficient: correlation is a technique for investigating the relationship between two quantitative, continuous variables, for example, age and blood pressure. By the end of the book, you'll have a feeling for what computer software could do to help you in your work and apply some of the methods learned directly to your work. What You Will Learn Gain software and C programming basics Write software to solve applied, computational mathematics problems Create programs to solve equations and calculus problems Use the trapezium method, Monte Carlo method, line of best fit, product moment correlation coefficient, Simpson’s rule, and matrix solutions Write code to solve differential equations Apply one or more of the methods to an application case study Who This Book Is For Those with an existing knowledge of rudimentary mathematics (school level) and some basic programming experience.

    Abstract: Are algorithms friend or foe? The human mind is evolutionarily designed to take shortcuts in order to survive. We jump to conclusions because our brains want to keep us safe. A majority of our biases work in our favor, such as when we feel a car speeding in our direction is dangerous and we instantly move, or when we decide not take a bite of food that appears to have gone bad. However, inherent bias negatively affects work environments and the decision-making surrounding our communities. While the creation of algorithms and machine learning attempts to eliminate bias, they are, after all, created by human beings, and thus are susceptible to what we call algorithmic bias . In Understand, Manage, and Prevent Algorithmic Bias , author Tobias Baer helps you understand where algorithmic bias comes from, how to manage it as a business user or regulator, and how data science can prevent bias from entering statistical algorithms. Baer expertly addresses some of the 100+ varieties of natural bias such as confirmation bias, stability bias, pattern-recognition bias, and many others. Algorithmic bias mirrors—and originates in—these human tendencies. Baer dives into topics as diverse as anomaly detection, hybrid model structures, and self-improving machine learning. While most writings on algorithmic bias focus on the dangers, the core of this positive, fun book points toward a path where bias is kept at bay and even eliminated. You’ll come away with managerial techniques to develop unbiased algorithms, the ability to detect bias more quickly, and knowledge to create unbiased data. Understand, Manage, and Prevent Algorithmic Bias is an innovative, timely, and important book that belongs on your shelf. Whether you are a seasoned business executive, a data scientist, or simply an enthusiast, now is a crucial time to be educated about the impact of algorithmic bias on society and take an active role in fighting bias. What You'll Learn Study the many sources of algorithmic bias, including cognitive biases in the real world, biased data, and statistical artifact Understand the risks of algorithmic biases, how to detect them, and managerial techniques to prevent or manage them Appreciate how machine learning both introduces new sources of algorithmic bias and can be a part of a solution Be familiar with specific statistical techniques a data scientist can use to detect and overcome algorithmic bias Who This Book is For Business executives of companies using al...

    Abstract: Discover how to write for the web: either for your own brand or as a service that you provide to others. This video will include how to write a blog post, how to write website copy, how to write a persuasive sales script, and how to write SEO articles. The focus will always be on providing value and on understanding the value proposition of the brand that you are writing for. From there, you will look at methods you can use to grab attention, communicate clearly, keep the reader engaged and to encourage an emotional response. You'll cover the importance of content marketing for exposure as well as building trust, and just why writing is in many ways the currency of the web. Content is what brings the vast majority of people to a website. They search Google for content, they return to a website because they enjoyed the content. It is also what sells a product – and simply by improving a sales script, a company can massively increase conversions. Companies that don’t understand how to write for the web will therefore be at a massive disadvantage. This is common to see: we all have encountered countless business sites with muddled messages that fail to explain what the company actually does and why the reader should care. What You Will Learn Study methods you can use to increase engagement and grab attention Understand the role of content and content marketing Write content for email, white papers, press releases, and more Who This Video is For Businesses that are currently failing to make a splash with their websites and social media, or that could be doing better.

    Abstract: The Raspberry Pi is about as minimalist as a computer gets, but it has the power to run a full Linux operating system and many great desktop and command line tools as well. Can you push it to operate at the level of a $2,000 computer? This book is here to help you find out. The primary focus of this book is getting as much as possible done with a simple Pi through non-graphic, non-mouse means. This means the keyboard and the text-mode screen. On the desktop side, you'll look at many of the most powerful GUI apps available, as these offer an easy entry to get started as you learn the command line. You'll begin by setting up and configuring a Raspberry Pi with the option to run it as a graphical desktop environment or even more economically boot straight to the command line. If you want more performance, more efficiency, and (arguably) less complexity from your Pi that can only be found through the keyboard and command line. You'll also set up and configure a Raspberry Pi to use command line tools from within either the Raspberry Pi terminal, or by logging in remotely through some other computer. Once in, you'll look at Package Managers, Tmux, Ranger, and Midnight Commander as general-purpose power tools. The book then gets into specific task-oriented tools for reading email, spreadsheet work, notes, security, web browsing and design, social media, task and video password management, coding, and much more. There are conceptual overviews of Markdown, LaTeX, and Vim for work. What You'll Learn Set up a Raspberry Pi system to get real work done using only the command line Login to a Pi remotely to use it as a remote server Integrate desktop Linux with command line mastery to optimize a Pi Work with tools for audio, writing news and weather, books, and graphics. Who This Book Is For Those with minimal technical skills or hobbyists who are interested in “retro computing” or “minimalist” approaches.

Any organization housing a large amount of data or a large infrastructure has started moving cloud-ward - and AWS rules the roost when it comes to cloud service providers, with its closest competitor having less than half of its market share. This highlights the importance of security on the cloud, especially on AWS. While a lot has been said (and written) about how cloud environments can be secured, performing external security assessments in the form of pentests on AWS is still seen as a dark art. This book aims to help pentesters as well as seasoned system administrators with a hands-on approach to pentesting the various cloud services provided by Amazon through AWS using Kali Linux. To make things easier for novice pentesters, the book focuses on building a practice lab and refining penetration testing with Kali Linux on the cloud. This is helpful not only for beginners but also for pentesters who want to set up a pentesting environment in their private cloud, using Kali Linux to perform a white-box assessment of their own cloud resources. Besides this, the book covers a large variety of AWS services that are often overlooked during a pentest - from serverless infrastructure to automated deployment pipelines. By the end of this book, you will be able to identify possible vulnerable areas efficiently and secure your AWS cloud environment. What you will learn Familiarize yourself with and pentest the most common external-facing AWS services Audit your own infrastructure and identify flaws, weaknesses, and loopholes Demonstrate the process of lateral and vertical movement through a partially compromised AWS account Maintain stealth and persistence within a compromised AWS account Master a hands-on approach to pentesting Discover a number of automated tools to ease the process of continuously assessing and improving the security stance of an AWS infrastructure Who this book is for If you are a security analyst or a penetration t...
