    Abstract: Discover the pillars of AWS infrastructure automation, starting with API-driven infrastructure concepts and its immediate benefits such as increased agility, automation of the infrastructure life cycle, and flexibility in experimenting with new architectures. With this base established, the book discusses infrastructure-as-code concepts in a general form, establishing principled outcomes such as security and reproducibility. Inescapably, we delve into how these concepts enable and underpin the DevOps movement. The Definitive Guide to AWS Infrastructure Automation begins by discussing services and tools that enable infrastructure-as-code solutions; first stop: AWS's CloudFormation service. You'll then cover the ever-expanding ecosystem of tooling emerging in this space, including CloudFormation wrappers such as Troposphere and orchestrators such as Sceptre, to completely independent third-party tools such as Terraform and Pulumi. As a bonus, you'll also work with AWS' newly-released CDK (Cloud Development Kit). You'll then look at how to implement modular, robust, and extensible solutions across a few examples -- in the process building out each solution with several different tools to compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of each. By the end of the journey, you will have gained a wide knowledge of both the AWS-provided and third-party ecosystem of infrastructure-as-code/provisioning tools, and the strengths and weaknesses of each. You'll possess a mental framework for how to craft an infrastructure-as-code solution to solve future problems based on examples discussed throughout the book. You'll also have a demonstrable understanding of the hands-on operation of each tool, situational appropriateness of each tool, and how to leverage the tool day to day. What You Will Learn Discover the technological and organizational benefits to infrastructure-as-code solutions Examine the overall landscape of infrastructure-as-code tooling and solutions available to consumers of AWS services See the strengths and weaknesses of these tools relative to one another as examined through hands-on implementation of several solutions Gain hands-on experience, best practices, and tips and tricks learned through several years' real-world experience delivering solutions using these very tools in a wide variety of scenarios Engineer solid solutions that leave room for new requirements and changes without requir...

    Abstract: Compile and run Bitcoin full nodes, lightning nodes, and user-friendly web-apps that help abstract the complexities of Bitcoin. This book not only explains the tools and techniques to help readers build their own banks and banking apps, but it also tells a story. Starting with the origins of Bitcoin-what it is and why we need it-find out what its strengths and limitations are. Understand the nature of mining and why so much energy is put into it. The blockchain itself will be reviewed, as well, and compared to other options such as a normal SQL database or a simple spreadsheet. With this book, you can control Bitcoin wallets via RPC commands on a Raspberry Pi. Configure, compile, and run two implementation of the Lightning Network-compatible daemons: LND and c-lightning. And employ user-friendly web apps that abstract the complexities of Bitcoin/Lightning-Network. The Internet of Information is currently transitioning to the Internet of Things, which in turn may well be followed by the Internet of Value (or Money). However, there is no evolution without happy users and Bitcoin will never reach the same heights like the original internet without having offered "useful" and "easy to use" tools. Just like nobody would ever want to use UUCP to send messages via web the same applies to current cryptocurrency tools. These are hard to use and very unforgiving. But, the evolution doesn't stop here and many easy-to-use tools are already available. We will meet some of them when building apps for the Lightning Network, a new technology running on top of Bitcoin's blockchain that makes it possible to generate billions of transactions within a single second. What You'll Learn Control Bitcoin wallets via console RPC commands Run two implementation of the Lightning Network compatible daemons Simplify the complexities of Bitcoin and the Lightning network with user-friendly web apps Who This Book Is For This book is for Makers familiar with the basics of Linux command line processes.

    Abstract: Working effectively with Apple platforms at a corporate or business level includes not only infrastructure, but a mode of thinking that administrators have to adopt to find success. A mode of thinking that forces you to leave 30 years of IT dogma at the door. This book is a guide through how to integrate Apple products in your environment with a minimum of friction. Because the Apple ecosystem is not going away. You'll start by understanding where Apple, third-party software vendors, and the IT community is taking us. What is Mobile Device Management and how does it work under the hood. By understanding how MDM works, you will understand what needs to happen on your networks in order to allow for MDM, as well as the best way to give the least amount of access to the servers or services that's necessary. You'll then look at management agents that do not include MDM, as well as when you will need to use an agent as opposed to when to use other options. Once you can install a management solution, you can deploy profiles on a device or you can deploy profiles on Macs using scripts. With Apple Device Management as your guide, you'll customize and package software for deployment and lock down devices so they're completely secure. You'll also work on getting standard QA environments built out, so you can test more effectively with less effort. Apple is forging their own path in IT. They trade spots with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft as the wealthiest company to ever exist. And they will not be constrained by 30 or more years of dogma in the IT industry. You can try to shoehorn Apple devices into outdated modes of device management, or you can embrace Apple's stance on management with the help of this book. What You'll Learn Deploy profiles across devices effectively and securely Install apps remotely both from the app store and through custom solutions Work natively with Apple environments rather than retrofitting older IT solutions Who This Book Is For Mac administrators within organizations that want to integrate with the current Apple ecosystem, including Windows administrators learning how to use/manage Macs, mobile administrators working with iPhones and iPads, and mobile developers tasked with creating custom apps for internal, corporate distribution.

    Abstract: The most common Agile framework for project management and product delivery today is Scrum. If you combine Scrum with Kanban-an Agile method for process improvement and workflow management-you get Scrumban: a project management/product delivery tool that features pull systems, workflow visualization, and process improvement. In this report, Andrew Stellman examines the fundamentals of Scrum and Kanban, and explains how a Scrumban hybrid can combine Scrum and Kanban effectively and take both of them to the next level. A widely recognized expert in transforming and improving software organizations, teams, and code, Stellman explains how teams that adopt Scrumban combine the core parts of both approaches to deliver better products today while continuing to improve into the future. Agile practitioners will discover why a growing number of software teams now use Scrumban. Review the core elements of Scrum and Kanban for product delivery and process improvement Understand how Scrumban incorporates the empirical process control of Scrum with the pull systems of Kanban to maintain the integrity of both Explore common misconceptions, including the notion that Scrum and Kanban have the same goals or that Scrumban is just "iterationless" Scrum Learn how to use your current Scrum implementation as a starting point for meaningful process improvement that can make your product delivery even more effective Examine a case study that describes a successful real-world implementation of a Scrum and Kanban hybrid

    Abstract: Improving your craft is a key skill for product and user experience professionals working in the digital era. There are many established methods of product development to inspire and focus teams-Sprint, Lean, Agile, Kanban-all of which focus on solutions to customer and business problems. Enter XDPD, or Experiment-Driven Product Development-a new approach that turns the spotlight on questions to be answered, rather than on solutions. Within XDPD, discovery is a mindset, not a project phase. In Experiment-Driven Product Development , author Paul Rissen introduces a philosophy of product development that will hone your skills in discovery, research and learning. By guiding you through a practical, immediately applicable framework, you can learn to ask, and answer, questions which will supercharge your product development, making teams smarter and better at developing products and services that deliver for users and businesses alike. When applying the XDPD framework within your organization, the concept of an experiment-a structured way of asking, and answering, questions-becomes the foundation of almost everything you do, instilling a constant sense of discovery that keeps your team inspired. All types of activities, from data analysis to writing software, are seen through the lens of research. Rather than treating research as a separate task from the rest of product development, this book approaches the entire practice as one of research and continuous discovery. Designing successful experiments takes practice. That's where Rissen's years of industry expertise come in. In this book, you are given step-by-step tools to ensure that meaningful, efficient progress is made with each experiment. This approach will prove beneficial to your team, your users, and most importantly, to your product's lasting success. Experiment-Driven Product Development offers a greater appreciation of the craft of experimentation and helps you adapt it in your own context. In our modern age of innovation, XDPD can put you ahead. Go forth and experiment! What You Will Learn Know how to approach product development in a leaner, more efficient way Understand where and when experiments can be useful, and how they fit into pre-existing organization environments and processes Realize why you should be thinking about the simplest, useful thing rather than the minimum, viable product Discover how to break down feature and design ideas into the assumptions and the premises that ...

    Abstract: Apple's Shortcuts app brings extensive automation capabilities to your iPhone or iPad, using a drag-and-drop, fill-in-the-blanks interface much like Automator on the Mac. It lets you perform sequences of tasks, including ones that span various apps, with just a tap or a voice command-or even automatically when certain conditions are met. Shortcuts can save you time and effort, help you accomplish previously complicated tasks, and let you customize your device to better meet your needs. And with iOS 13/iPadOS 13, Shortcuts has become even more powerful than before. But for all its utility, Shortcuts is not self-explanatory, so it can be challenging to figure out its quirks and create effective, time-saving automations. That's where Take Control of Shortcuts comes in. Written by automation expert Rosemary Orchard, this book opens the world of iOS/iPadOS automation to users at every level. With Rosemary's help, you'll learn how to: Navigate the Shortcuts app: Understand the user interface and terminology, then install and run your first shortcut. Run shortcuts: Discover seven different ways to run a shortcut, from tapping an icon to using Home automations and Siri. Build shortcuts: Start with simple, one-step shortcuts and work your way up to complex shortcuts with input, output, variables, conditionals, loops, and more. Debugging advice is also included. Install and sync shortcuts: Download and install shortcuts others have written, sync your shortcuts across your devices, and share them with other people. Then, to both illustrate the main principles you've learned and give you practical tools to get you started, Rosemary walks you step by step through the creation of 15 sample shortcuts, which you can also download and install using links in the book. Examples include: Event templates A daily overview Converting and sharing images Adding a song to a playlist Logging expenses Turning on lights automatically when you get home The book also discusses how Shortcuts can use REST APIs to talk to various web services (with detailed examples), and complementary apps that work in conjunction with Shortcuts. Whether you're completely new to automation or already have significant programming experience, you'll find plenty of useful information in this friendly, practical guide.

    Abstract: Focus on the most important and most often overlooked factor in a successful Tableau project-data. Without a reliable data source, you will not achieve the results you hope for in Tableau. This book does more than teach the mechanics of data preparation. It teaches you: how to look at data in a new way, to recognize the most common issues that hinder analytics, and how to mitigate those factors one by one. Tableau can change the course of business, but the old adage of "garbage in, garbage out" is the hard truth that hides behind every Tableau sales pitch. That amazing sales demo does not work as well with bad data. The unfortunate reality is that almost all data starts out in a less-than-perfect state. Data prep is hard. Traditionally, we were forced into the world of the database where complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations created by the data team did all the heavy lifting for us. Fortunately, we have moved past those days.

Plenty of data tools exist, along with plenty of books that tell you how to use them-but unless you truly understand how to work with data, each of these tools can ultimately mislead and cause costly mistakes. This book walks you step by step through the full data visualization process, from calculation and analysis through accurate, useful presentation. Common blunders are explored in depth to show you how they arise, how they have become so common, and how you can avoid them from the outset. Then and only then can you take advantage of the wealth of tools that are out there-in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, the right tools can cut down on the time, labor, and myriad decisions that go into each and every data presentation. Workers in almost every industry are now commonly expected to effectively analyze and present data, even with little or no formal training. There are many pitfalls-some might say chasms -in the process, and no one wants to be the source of a data error that costs money or even lives. This book provides a full walk-through of the process to help you ensure a truly useful result. Delve into the "data-reality gap" that grows with our dependence on data Learn how the right tools can streamline the visualization process Avoid common mistakes in data analysis, visualization, and presentation Create and present clear, accurate, effective data visualizations To err is human, but in today's data-driven world, the stakes can be high and the mistakes costly.

    Abstract: If you're rolling out a large-scale infrastructure change, you know it can be like swapping out a jet engine while flying. Staying aloft takes coordination and communication with many teams, good processes and documentation, risk identification and management, monitoring, and tracking of the change progress-not to mention dealing with the catastrophic challenges that crop up midflight. In this report, technical program managers in Google SRE take you through case studies that demonstrate how infrastructure change projects are managed at Google. Authors Wendy Look and Mark Dallman offer an overview of two long-term projects at Google: one to migrate all of Google's systems from Google File System (GFS) to its successor, Colossus, and the other to move from local disk storage to diskless compute nodes for all jobs. You'll dive into the tools and processes used to manage the changes, see what worked (and what didn't), and discover lessons learned along the way. Best of all, you'll get a preflight checklist drawn from these experiences that will help you keep your own projects on course.

    Abstract: For nearly a decade, Apache Kafka has been the go-to publish-subscribe (pub-sub) messaging system-and for good reason. It offers functionality for a wide range of enterprise use cases, along with a large ecosystem of tools and a dedicated community. But lately, upstart Apache Pulsar has been gaining ground. This detailed report explains why. Apache Pulsar takes the best parts of Kafka and expands on them to solve problems that were out of scope of Kafka's original design. Author Chris Bartholomew shows you how Kafka and Pulsar compare and where they differ. Engineers and other technical decision makers will learn the advantages that make Pulsar a compelling alternative to Kafka. Explore the architecture and major components of Kafka and Pulsar Discover the benefits of Pulsar's subscription model for messaging Understand how Pulsar simplifies the messaging system for organizations that need high performance pub-sub messaging, delivery guarantees, and traditional messaging patterns Learn how Pulsar's separation of serving and storing makes it natural to run in cloud native environments like Kubernetes See how Kafka and Pulsar perform on the OpenMessage Project benchmark

    Abstract: This book introduces an original fractional calculus methodology ('the infinite state approach') which is applied to the modeling of fractional order differential equations (FDEs) and systems (FDSs). Its modeling is based on the frequency distributed fractional integrator, while the resulting model corresponds to an integer order and infinite dimension state space representation. This original modeling allows the theoretical concepts of integer order systems to be generalized to fractional systems, with a particular emphasis on a convolution formulation.

    Abstract: Provides a smooth and pleasant transition from first-year calculus to upper-level mathematics courses in real analysis, abstract algebra and number theory Most universities require students majoring in mathematics to take a "transition to higher math" course that introduces mathematical proofs and more rigorous thinking. Such courses help students be prepared for higher-level mathematics course from their onset. Advanced Mathematics: A Transitional Reference provides a "crash course" in beginning pure mathematics, offering instruction on a blendof inductive and deductive reasoning. By avoiding outdated methods and countless pages of theorems and proofs, this innovative textbook prompts students to think about the ideas presented in an enjoyable, constructive setting. Clear and concise chapters cover all the essential topics students need to transition from the "rote-orientated" courses of calculus to the more rigorous "proof-orientated" advanced mathematics courses. Topics include sentential and predicate calculus, mathematical induction, sets and counting, complex numbers, point-set topology, and symmetries, abstract groups, rings, and fields. Each section contains numerous problems for students of various interests and abilities. Ideally suited for a one-semester course, this book: Introduces students to mathematical proofs and rigorous thinking Provides thoroughly class-tested material from the authors own course in transitioning to higher math Strengthens the mathematical thought process of the reader Includes informative sidebars, historical notes, and plentiful graphics Offers a companion website to access a supplemental solutions manual for instructors Advanced Mathematics: A Transitional Reference is a valuable guide for undergraduate students who have taken courses in calculus, differential equations, or linear algebra, but may not be prepared for the more advanced courses of real analysis, abstract algebra, and number theory that await them. This text is also useful for scientists, engineers, and others seeking to refresh their skills in advanced math.

    Abstract: The Mac user's guide to mass storage Updated December 10, 2019 As the amount of data we store continues to grow, figuring out where to put it and how to access it becomes more complicated. It's not just that we need to find space for our increasingly large collections of photos, videos, music, and apps-we want it to be available whenever we need it, and be sure that it's safe from hackers and thieves. Every Mac includes internal storage in the form of a hard drive, SSD, or Fusion drive. But you may also have one or more external devices (such as hard drives, flash drives, SD cards, or RAID devices), not to mention network-attached storage (NAS) devices or cloud storage (like Dropbox or iCloud Drive). Making sense of all your options, managing your stored data, choosing new devices or services when you're running out of space, or even just figuring out what's where can drive anyone to distraction. Fortunately, Jeff Carlson has a book with all the answers! After decades of working with Macs and accumulating massive collections of photos and videos, Jeff has pulled together a wide-ranging book about Mac storage that contains just the help you're looking for. Among many other topics, this book covers: How to choose a new (internal or external) hard drive, SSD, or hybrid drive Determining how much storage space you need What you need to know about APFS, Apple's new filesystem Formatting and partitioning disks using Disk Utility How to repair a misbehaving disk RAIDs: what they are and how different types compare What to do with a hard drive when it has outlived its usefulness When to use a flash drive or SD card How to create and use disk images Deciding among local, network, and cloud storage for various types of files What a personal cloud is and why you might consider using one Strategies for freeing up extra disk space NAS devices get special coverage, including: How to choose a NAS-and when it's a better idea than an external hard drive Using a NAS with your Mac for a wide variety of purposes Special considerations when using a NAS for digital photos Jeff also digs into details about numerous storage-related technologies: How to tell if your third-party SSD needs to have TRIM enabled (and what to do if the answer is yes) How to create a software RAID using Disk Utility or SoftRAID What you need to know about filesystems-and how to choose among APFS, Mac OS Extended, FAT, and ExFAT Why and how to encrypt a disk using FileVault or the Finder Usi...

    Abstract: From Amos Schwartzfarb, serial entrepreneur and veteran Managing Director of Techstars Austin comes the elemental, essential, and effective strategy that will help any startup identify, build, and grow their customers from day 1 Most startups fail because they can't grow revenue early or quickly enough. Startup CEOs will tell you their early missteps can be attributed to not finding their product market fit early enough, or at all. Founders overspend time and money trying to find product-market fit and make false starts, follow the wrong signals, and struggle to generate enough revenue to scale and raise funding.
