This pushes the post-revolutionary state toward a balancing act to pacify its female population"--

    Abstract: Discover how to inject your code with highly performant Rust features to develop fast and memory-safe applications Key Features Learn to implement Rust in a Python system without altering the entire system Write safe and efficient Rust code as a Python developer by understanding the essential features of Rust Build Python extensions in Rust by using Python NumPy modules in your Rust code Book Description Python has made software development easier, but it falls short in several areas including memory management that lead to poor performance and security. Rust, on the other hand, provides memory safety without using a garbage collector, which means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performant and secure apps relatively easily. However, rewriting everything in Rust can be expensive and risky as there might not be package support in Rust for the problem being solved. This is where Python bindings and pip come in. This book will help you, as a Python developer, to start using Rust in your Python projects without having to manage a separate Rust server or application. Seeing as you'll already understand concepts like functions and loops, this book covers the quirks of Rust such as memory management to code Rust in a productive and structured manner. You'll explore the PyO3 crate to fuse Rust code with Python, learn how to package your fused Rust code in a pip package, and then deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that uses a private Rust pip module. Finally, you'll get to grips with advanced Rust binding topics such as inspecting Python objects and modules in Rust. By the end of this Rust book, you'll be able to develop safe and high-performant applications with better concurrency support. What you will learn Explore the quirks of the Rust programming language that a Python developer needs to understand to code in Rust Understand the trade-offs for multiprocessing and thread safety to write concurrent code Build and manage a software project with cargo and crates Fuse Rust code with Python so that Python can import and run Rust code Deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that utilizes a private Rust pip module Inspect and create your own Python objects in Rust Who this book is for This book is for Python developers who want to speed up their Python code with Rust and implement Rust in a Python system without altering the entire system. You'll be able to learn about all topics relating to Rust programming. Basic know...

    Abstract: Make the best of your test suites by using cutting-edge software architecture patterns in Python Key Features Learn how to create scalable and maintainable applications Build a web system for micro messaging using concepts in the book Use profiling to find bottlenecks and improve the speed of the system Book Description Developing large-scale systems that continuously grow in scale and complexity requires a thorough understanding of how software projects should be implemented. Software developers, architects, and technical management teams rely on high-level software design patterns such as microservices architecture, event-driven architecture, and the strategic patterns prescribed by domain-driven design (DDD) to make their work easier. This book covers these proven architecture design patterns with a forward-looking approach to help Python developers manage application complexity—and get the most value out of their test suites. Starting with the initial stages of design, you will learn about the main blocks and mental flow to use at the start of a project. The book covers various architectural patterns like microservices, web services, and event-driven structures and how to choose the one best suited to your project. Establishing a foundation of required concepts, you will progress into development, debugging, and testing to produce high-quality code that is ready for deployment. You will learn about ongoing operations on how to continue the task after the system is deployed to end users, as the software development lifecycle is never finished. By the end of this Python book, you will have developed "architectural thinking": a different way of approaching software design, including making changes to ongoing systems. What you will learn Think like an architect, analyzing software architecture patterns Explore API design, data storage, and data representation methods Investigate the nuances of common architectural structures Utilize and interoperate elements of patterns such as microservices Implement test-driven development to perform quality code testing Recognize chunks of code that can be restructured as packages Maintain backward compatibility and deploy iterative changes Who this book is for This book will help software developers and architects understand the structure of large complex systems and adopt architectural patterns that are scalable.

    Abstract: Our conception of the culture and values of the ancient Greco-Roman world is largely based on texts and material evidence left behind by a small and atypical group of city-dwellers. The people of the deep Mediterranean countryside seldom appear in the historical record from antiquity, and almost never as historical actors. This book is the first extended historical ethnography of an ancient village society, based on an extraordinarily rich body of funerary and propitiatory inscriptions from a remote upland region of Roman Asia Minor. Rural kinship structures and household forms are analysed in detail, as are the region's demography, religious life, gender relations, class structure, normative standards and values. Roman north-east Lydia is perhaps the only non-urban society in the Greco-Roman world whose culture can be described at so fine-grained a level of detail: a world of tight-knit families, egalitarian values, hard agricultural labour, village solidarity, honour, piety and love

    Abstract: A practical guide simplifying discrete math for curious minds and demonstrating its application in solving problems related to software development, computer algorithms, and data science Key Features Apply the math of countable objects to practical problems in computer science Explore modern Python libraries such as scikit-learn, NumPy, and SciPy for performing mathematics Learn complex statistical and mathematical concepts with the help of hands-on examples and expert guidance Book Description Discrete mathematics deals with studying countable, distinct elements, and its principles are widely used in building algorithms for computer science and data science. The knowledge of discrete math concepts will help you understand the algorithms, binary, and general mathematics that sit at the core of data-driven tasks. Practical Discrete Mathematics is a comprehensive introduction for those who are new to the mathematics of countable objects. This book will help you get up to speed with using discrete math principles to take your computer science skills to a more advanced level. As you learn the language of discrete mathematics, you'll also cover methods crucial to studying and describing computer science and machine learning objects and algorithms. The chapters that follow will guide you through how memory and CPUs work. In addition to this, you'll understand how to analyze data for useful patterns, before finally exploring how to apply math concepts in network routing, web searching, and data science. By the end of this book, you'll have a deeper understanding of discrete math and its applications in computer science, and be ready to work on real-world algorithm development and machine learning. What you will learn Understand the terminology and methods in discrete math and their usage in algorithms and data problems Use Boolean algebra in formal logic and elementary control structures Implement combinatorics to measure computational complexity and manage memory allocation Use random variables, calculate descriptive statistics, and find average-case computational complexity Solve graph problems involved in routing, pathfinding, and graph searches, such as depth-first search Perform ML tasks such as data visualization, regression, and dimensionality reduction Who this book is for This book is for computer scientists looking to expand their knowledge of discrete math, the core topic of their field. University students looking to get hands-on with com...
