    Abstract: Revamp Your Architectural Practices for New Challenges, Environments, and Stakeholder Expectations "This book recognizes that software architecture is not the merely conceptual domain of disconnected experts but is the . . . give-and-take daily tussle of team members who have to balance trade-offs and competing forces to deliver resilient, high-performing, secure applications. . . . [It] bridges the significant gap between the 'Earth from orbit' view and the pavement-level view of refactoring microservice code." --Kurt Bittner, VP, Enterprise Solutions, Scrum.org Authors Murat Erder, Pierre Pureur, and Eoin Woods have taken their extensive enterprise architecture experience and applied it to the practical aspects of continuous architecture in real-world environments. Continuous Architecture in Practice provides hands-on advice for leveraging continuous architecture in real-world environments and illuminates architecture's changing role in the age of Agile, DevSecOps, and cloud platforms. This guide will help technologists update their architecture practice for new application challenges. As part of the Vaughn Vernon Addison-Wesley Signature Series, this title was hand-selected for the practical, delivery-oriented knowledge that architects and software engineers can quickly apply. It includes in-depth guidance for addressing today's key quality attributes, including cross-cutting concerns such as security, performance, scalability, resilience, data, and innovation.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Pikus, Fedor G. The art of writing efficient programs
    RVK:
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Get to grips with various performance improvement techniques such as concurrency, lock-free programming, atomic operations, parallelism, and memory management Key Features Understand the limitations of modern CPUs and their performance impact Find out how you can avoid writing inefficient code and get the best optimizations from the compiler Learn the tradeoffs and costs of writing high-performance programs Book Description The great free lunch of "performance taking care of itself" is over. Until recently, programs got faster by themselves as CPUs were upgraded, but that doesn't happen anymore. The clock frequency of new processors has almost peaked. New architectures provide small improvements to existing programs, but this only helps slightly. Processors do get larger and more powerful, but most of this new power is consumed by the increased number of processing cores and other "extra" computing units. To write efficient software, you now have to know how to program by making good use of the available computing resources, and this book will teach you how to do that. The book covers all the major aspects of writing efficient programs, such as using CPU resources and memory efficiently, avoiding unnecessary computations, measuring performance, and how to put concurrency and multithreading to good use. You'll also learn about compiler optimizations and how to use the programming language (C++) more efficiently. Finally, you'll understand how design decisions impact performance. By the end of this book, you'll not only have enough knowledge of processors and compilers to write efficient programs, but you'll also be able to understand which techniques to use and what to measure while improving performance. At its core, this book is about learning how to learn. What you will learn Discover how to use the hardware computing resources in your programs effectively Understand the relationship between memory order and memory barriers Familiarize yourself with the performance implications of different data structures and organizations Assess the performance impact of concurrent memory accessed and how to minimize it Discover when to use and when not to use lock-free programming techniques Explore different ways to improve the effectiveness of compiler optimizations Design APIs for concurrent data structures and high-performance data structures to avoid inefficiencies Who this book is for This book is for experienced developers and programmers who work ...

    Keywords: Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics. Once you get the math out of the way, the Bayesian fundamentals will become clearer and you'll begin to apply these techniques to real-world problems. Bayesian statistical methods are becoming more common and more important, but not many resources are available to help beginners. Based on undergraduate classes taught by author Allen Downey, this book's computational approach helps you get a solid start. Use your programming skills to learn and understand Bayesian statistics Work with problems involving estimation, prediction, decision analysis, evidence, and Bayesian hypothesis testing Get started with simple examples, using coins, dice, and a bowl of cookies Learn computational methods for solving real-world problems

    Keywords: Electronic books ; local ; Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation ; Webdesign ; Gebrauchsgrafik ; Benutzerfreundlichkeit ; Verhaltenspsychologie
    Abstract: Jon Yablonski erklärt in diesem Buch, wie UX-Designerinnen Grundprinzipien aus der Psychologie nutzen können, um eine bessere User Experience zu generieren. Anstatt Benutzerinnen zu zwingen, sich an das Design eines Produkts (z. B. App) anzupassen, hilft dieser praktische Leitfaden dabei, das Design danach auszurichten, wie Benutzer*innen sich verhalten und mit digitalen Schnittstellen interagieren, um ihre Nutzung einfacher und angenehmer zu gestalten. Dabei greift der Autor auf bekannte Regeln und Prinzipien aus der psychologischen Forschung zurück und überträgt sie in die UX-Design-Welt. So sprechen wir beispielsweise einer App mit schönem Design mehr Kompetenz zu und verzeihen ihr eher Fehler, oder erwarten von einem Onlineshop, dass der Kaufprozess so funktionieren, wie wir es von anderen Shops gewohnt sind. Außerdem können wir eine große Menge an Informationen besser speichern und verarbeiten, wenn sie in Chunks gegliedert sind, weshalb etwa Texte, die mithilfe von Überschriften und Absätzen gegliedert sind, eine höhere UX generieren als ein langer Fließtext, der die User überfordert. Nachdem der Autor die verschiedenen Prinzipien erklärt und an anschaulichen, einfach nachzuvollziehenden Beispielen demonstriert hat, zeigt er, wie man diese Prinzipien praktisch für die eigene Arbeit und im Team nutzen kann. Zusätzlich geht er auch auf die ethischen Komponenten ein (Beispiele: Endlos-Scrollen, Like-Button).

    Abstract: In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, Google's change in policy is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years-the rise of personalization. In this groundbreaking investigation of the new hidden Web, Pariser uncovers how this growing trend threatens to control how we consume and share information as a society-and reveals what we can do about it. Though the phenomenon has gone largely undetected until now, personalized filters are sweeping the Web, creating individual universes of information for each of us. Facebook-the primary news source for an increasing number of Americans-prioritizes the links it believes will appeal to you so that if you are a liberal, you can expect to see only progressive links. Even an old-media bastion like The Washington Post devotes the top of its home page to a news feed with the links your Facebook friends are sharing. Behind the scenes, a burgeoning industry of data companies is tracking your personal information to sell to advertisers, from your political leanings to the color you painted your living room to the hiking boots you just browsed on Zappos. In a personalized world, we will increasingly be typed and fed only news that is pleasant, familiar, and confirms our beliefs-and because these filters are invisible, we won't know what is being hidden from us. Our past interests will determine what we are exposed to in the future, leaving less room for the unexpected encounters that spark creativity, innovation, and the democratic exchange of ideas. While we all worry that the Internet is eroding privacy or shrinking our attention spans, Pariser uncovers a more pernicious and far-reaching trend and shows how we can-and must-change course. With vivid detail and remarkable scope, The Filter Bubble reveals how personalization undermines the Internet's original purpose as an open platform for the spread of ideas and could leave us all in an isolated, echoing world.
