    Abstract: Asynchronous Python Programming using asyncio and async/await lets you write code that runs many processes concurrently. It makes your code more responsive and stops it from wasting time waiting for slow file and internet access. It is simpler to write, easier to reason about, and uses less memory than threads and processes. We start the video with an overview of asyncio, showing the building blocks and core syntax in a few simple examples. Next, you will see how to make normal Python code work in an asynchronous environment, to minimize blocking and facilitate cooperative multi-tasking. Further, we cover an asyncio use-case working with network connections such as web servers using asynio's streams API, followed by communication between coroutines and synchronization of coroutines. We will also look at using the asyncio library to easily wrap blocking code into threads and processes, and some non-blocking replacement libraries used with asyncio such as aiohttp and aiofiles. The uvloop and unsync libraries will be discussed as ways to speed up and simplify your asyncio code. The following section covers writing more robust asyncio code to test and debug your code, handle stuck tasks using time out, logging and error handling and task management. Having gained a firm understanding of how to code using asyncio, the course finishes with a look under the hood. This starts by walking you through a hand-coded example of an event loop (the core of asyncio), an overview of the different types of awaitables and some useful functions of the event loop which gives you fine grain control What you will learn: What are the differences between asyncio, threads and processes How to run code concurrently using coroutines, asyncio, and async/await How to work with network connections using streams How to write robust and modern asynchronous code How asyncio works and how to use the low level functions for fine-grain control Who this video is for Intermediate to experienced Python programmers who want to speed up existing Python code and make it more responsive by using async/await and asyncio.

    Abstract: This video shows how to use blockchain technology in Azure SQL and SQL Server to provide an immutable record of data change over time, and to prove and attest to business partners that your data is accurate and has not been tempered with. You'll learn about the new, Ledger tables feature in Azure SQL and soon to be in SQL Server 2022 that enables this blockchain feature set. This video shows how Ledger-enabled tables protect your data from even high-privileged users, preventing even database and system administrators from making changes without a record of those changes being made. Also covered in this video is the older feature set around system-versioned, temporal tables. You'll learn how temporal tables are used as the base infrastructure for maintaining the blockchain history in Ledger tables. The video shows how Ledger provides additional protection to ensure that - unlike the case with just temporal tables - rows are cryptographically hashed to ensure against tampering. You can even combine both features, temporal and ledger tables; while ledger tables protect the data, temporal tables allow you to easily see the state of the data on a specific time point. What You Will Learn Understand the technology behind Azure SQL Ledger Create a database with ledger-enabled tables Combine ledger and system-versioning technology in a single table Modify the data in the ledger-enabled table Change the structure of ledger-enabled tables Verify that the ledger data has not been tampered with Understand ledger technology limitations Who This Book Is For For advanced database administrators of Azure SQL Databases who are required to prove that sensitive data has not been tampered with. For administrators requiring a tamper-proof record of history over time. For those who are running SQL Server 2022 either on-premises or through Managed Instances who have the same needs.

    Abstract: Utilize this comprehensive guide in your organization to create a corporate incubator that protects innovative ideas from oppressive corporate processes and culture and gives those ideas the resources and environment they need to grow and have the best possible chance to thrive. Innovation is hard. Ironically, innovation in a large enterprise can be even more difficult. Policies designed for mature businesses often crush emerging businesses along with the entrepreneurial spirit of the innovators. Procedures can make it difficult, even impossible, for innovative employees to get their ideas funded, or even seen. As a result, even companies with their roots in innovation can find themselves unable to innovate, with a devastating impact on employee morale and often resulting in the exodus of the most creative employees. In Lean Intrapreneurship the authors leverage decades of personal experience innovating in large enterprises to explore the root causes of failure to innovate in established organizations, and offer a solution to the innovator's dilemma. The book includes a recipe for creating a repeatable program for innovating in large organizations, including tools, tips, and strategies developed by the authors as they created an innovative incubation program for a multi-billion-dollar technology company. It also offers a wealth of information to help aspiring intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. What You'll Learn Discover the most common reasons that innovation fails in established organizations Explore techniques to make innovative ideas a success Follow a recipe to create a program to enable innovation across your company Understand the power of transparency inside and outside an incubator Develop employees and foster a culture of innovation across your company Who This Book Is For Anyone with an innovative idea who wants to make it real but does not know where to begin; anyone struggling to innovate inside an established company; anyone who wishes to make their existing company more lean, agile, and efficient; anyone who wishes to start a program to incubate new, innovative ideas inside an established company

    Abstract: Provide evidence-based answers that can be measured and relied upon by your business. Database administrators will be able to make sound architectural decisions in a fast-changing landscape of virtualized servers and container-based solutions based on the empirical method presented in this book for answering "what if" questions about database performance. Today's database administrators face numerous questions such as: What if we consolidate databases using multitenant features? What if we virtualize database servers as Docker containers? What if we deploy the latest in NVMe flash disks to speed up IO access? Do features such as compression, partitioning, and in-memory OLTP earn back their price? What if we move our databases to the cloud? As an administrator, do you know the answers or even how to test the assumptions? Database Benchmarking and Stress Testing introduces you to database benchmarking using industry-standard test suites such as the TCP series of benchmarks, which are the same benchmarks that vendors rely upon. You'll learn to run these industry-standard benchmarks and collect results to use in answering questions about the performance impact of architectural changes, technology changes, and even down to the brand of database software. You'll learn to measure performance and predict the specific impact of changes to your environment. You'll know the limitations of the benchmarks and the crucial difference between benchmarking and workload capture/reply. This book teaches you how to create empirical evidence in support of business and technology decisions. It's about not guessing when you should be measuring. Empirical testing is scientific testing that delivers measurable results. Begin with a hypothesis about the impact of a possible architecture or technology change. Then run the appropriate benchmarks to gather data and predict whether the change you're exploring will be beneficial, and by what order of magnitude. Stop guessing. Start measuring. Let Database Benchmarking and Stress Testing show the way. What You'll Learn Understand the industry-standard database benchmarks, and when each is best used Prepare for a database benchmarking effort so reliable results can be achieved Perform database benchmarking for consolidation, virtualization, and cloud projects Recognize and avoid common mistakes in benchmarking database performance Measure and interpret results in a rational, concise manner for reliable comparisons Choose and ...

    Abstract: Work with advanced topics in deep learning, such as optimization algorithms, hyper-parameter tuning, dropout, and error analysis as well as strategies to address typical problems encountered when training deep neural networks. You'll begin by studying the activation functions mostly with a single neuron (ReLu, sigmoid, and Swish), seeing how to perform linear and logistic regression using TensorFlow, and choosing the right cost function. The next section talks about more complicated neural network architectures with several layers and neurons and explores the problem of random initialization of weights. An entire chapter is dedicated to a complete overview of neural network error analysis, giving examples of solving problems originating from variance, bias, overfitting, and datasets coming from different distributions. Applied Deep Learning also discusses how to implement logistic regression completely from scratch without using any Python library except NumPy, to let you appreciate how libraries such as TensorFlow allow quick and efficient experiments. Case studies for each method are included to put into practice all theoretical information. You'll discover tips and tricks for writing optimized Python code (for example vectorizing loops with NumPy). What You Will Learn Implement advanced techniques in the right way in Python and TensorFlow Debug and optimize advanced methods (such as dropout and regularization) Carry out error analysis (to realize if one has a bias problem, a variance problem, a data offset problem, and so on) Set up a machine learning project focused on deep learning on a complex dataset Who This Book Is For Readers with a medium understanding of machine learning, linear algebra, calculus, and basic Python programming.

    Abstract: Use the methodology in this study guide to design, manage, and operate a balanced enterprise cybersecurity program that is pragmatic and realistic in the face of resource constraints and other real-world limitations. This guide is an instructional companion to the book Enterprise Cybersecurity: How to Build a Successful Cyberdefense Program Against Advanced Threats . The study guide will help you understand the book's ideas and put them to work. The guide can be used for self-study or in the classroom. Enterprise cybersecurity is about implementing a cyberdefense program that will succeed in defending against real-world attacks. While we often know what should be done, the resources to do it often are not sufficient. The reality is that the Cybersecurity Conundrum-what the defenders request, what the frameworks specify, and what the budget allows versus what the attackers exploit-gets in the way of what needs to be done. Cyberattacks in the headlines affecting millions of people show that this conundrum fails more often than we would prefer. Cybersecurity professionals want to implement more than what control frameworks specify, and more than what the budget allows. Ironically, another challenge is that even when defenders get everything that they want, clever attackers are extremely effective at finding and exploiting the gaps in those defenses, regardless of their comprehensiveness. Therefore, the cybersecurity challenge is to spend the available budget on the right protections, so that real-world attacks can be thwarted without breaking the bank. People involved in or interested in successful enterprise cybersecurity can use this study guide to gain insight into a comprehensive framework for coordinating an entire enterprise cyberdefense program. What You'll Learn Know the methodology of targeted attacks and why they succeed Master the cybersecurity risk management process Understand why cybersecurity capabilities are the foundation of effective cyberdefenses Organize a cybersecurity program's policy, people, budget, technology, and assessment Assess and score a cybersecurity program Report cybersecurity program status against compliance and regulatory frameworks Use the operational processes and supporting information systems of a successful cybersecurity program Create a data-driven and objectively managed cybersecurity program Discover how cybersecurity is evolving and will continue to ev...
