Book Description
Learn to use adaptive algorithms to solve real-world streaming data problems. This book covers a multitude of data processing challenges, ranging from the simple to the complex. At each step, you will gain insight into real-world use cases, find solutions, explore code used to solve these problems, and create new algorithms for your own use.

Authors Chanchal Chatterjee and Vwani P. Roychowdhury begin Author: introducing a common framework for creating adaptive algorithms, and demonstrating how to use it to address various streaming data issues. Examples range from using matrix functions to solve machine learning and data analysis problems to more critical edge computation problems. They handle time-varying, non-stationary data with minimal compute, memory, latency, and bandwidth.

Upon finishing this book, you will have a solid understanding of how to solve adaptive machine learning and data analytics problems and be able to derive new algorithms for your own use cases. You will also come away with solutions to high volume time-varying data with high dimensionality in a low compute, low latency environment.

What You Will Learn

Understand the relevant data representation features and computational models for time-varying multi-dimensional data
Derive adaptive algorithms for mean, median, covariance, eigenvectors (PCA) and generalized eigenvectors with experiments on real data
Speed up your algorithms and put them to use on real-world stationary and non-stationary data
Master the applications of adaptive algorithms on critical edge device computation applications

Book Description
Learn and master the new features in the new Eclipse Jakarta Faces (formerly JavaServer Faces or JSF) web framework in this definitive guide written Author: two of the driving forces of the Faces project and the co-creators of the OmniFaces library. Authors Bauke Scholtz and Arjan Tijms take you through real-world examples that demonstrate how these new features are used with other APIs in Jakarta EE. You’ll see the new and exciting ways Jakarta Faces applications can use to communicate between a client and a server, such as using WebSockets, invoking bean methods directly from Ajax, executing client-side JavaScript when Ajax calls complete, and more

Along the way you’ll broaden your knowledge of Faces components and web APIs best practices, and learn a great deal about the internals of Faces and the design decisions that have been made when building the Faces API. For example, you’ll see what artefacts are now CDI injectable, how CDI changed Faces internally, and what some of the caveats are when working with the CDI versions of a Faces artefact.

Furthermore, you’ll build an example application from scratch. After reading The Definitive Guide to Jakarta Faces in Jakarta EE 10, you’ll be ready to build your own efficient and secure web applications.

Patterns of Software Construction: How to Predictably Build Results

Book Description
Master how to implement a repeatable software construction system. This book closely examines how a system is designed to tie a series of activities together that are needed when building software-intensive systems.

Software construction and operations don’t get enough attention as a repeatable system. The world is stuck in agile backlog grooming sessions, and quality is not increasing. Companies’ budgets are shrinking, and teams need a way to get more done with less, consistently. This topic is very relevant to our current economic conditions and continuing globalization trends. A reason we constantly need more hands-on-the-keyboards is because of all the waste created in development cycles. We need more literature on how to “do software” not just write software.

These goals are accomplished using the concept of evolutions, much like the Navy SEALS train their team members. For LIFT, the evolutions are: Plan, Build, Test, Release, Operate and Manage. The entire purpose of the book is instructing professionals how to use these distinct evolutions while remaining agile. And then, inside of each evolution, to explicitly break down the inputs to the evolution, outputs and series of activities taking place. Patterns of Software Construction clearly outlines how together this becomes the system.

What You Will Learn

Optimize each evolution of a software delivery cycle
Review best practices of planning, highest return in the build cycle, and ignored practices in test, release, and operate
Apply the highest return techniques during the software build evolution

Book Description
Meet the challenge of storing and accessing analytic data in SQL Server in a fast and performant manner. This book illustrates how columnstore indexes can provide an ideal solution for storing analytic data that leads to faster performing analytic queries and the ability to ask and answer business intelligence questions with alacrity. The book provides a complete walk through of columnstore indexing that encompasses an introduction, best practices, hands-on demonstrations, explanations of common mistakes, and presents a detailed architecture that is suitable for professionals of all skill levels.

With little or no knowledge of columnstore indexing you can become proficient with columnstore indexes as used in SQL Server, and apply that knowledge in development, test, and production environments. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the use of columnstore indexes and provides definitive guidelines. You will learn when columnstore indexes should be used, and the performance gains that you can expect. You will also become familiar with best practices around architecture, implementation, and maintenance. Finally, you will know the limitations and common pitfalls to be aware of and avoid.

As analytic data can become quite large, the expense to manage it or migrate it can be high.

Book Description
Accelerate your Salesforce implementation to provide benefits to your business more rapidly while maintaining control and improving quality.

Salesforce has become one of the most influential business tools in our modern age. What started as the world’s most comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) system available in the market place has now morphed over the years into an ecosystem of tools and services that enable you to run your entire business platform.

This book gives you a method (a set of governance processes) that provides a complete view of how to govern and manage any Salesforce implementation. It breaks the architectural components of the Salesforce platform into manageable sections, allowing you to navigate and understand how to govern your Salesforce implementation in a consistent manner with an approach that is structured, repeatable, and clearly defined.

Salesforce Platform Governance Method is divided into nine distinct phases which have been chosen based on how the Salesforce platform is architected. This is relevant today because every organization that implements Salesforce will face the same issues around governance, integration, development, and security and the majority of organizations will find, through trial and error, a solution to govern these components. This book will help Salesforce professionals and enterprise organizations as well as small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) navigate these topics and ultimately have a successful and fully integrated, secure Salesforce implementation.

What You Will Learn

Govern the application architecture on the Salesforce platform, including general architecture, localization and global deployments, workflow and process, formulas and files, and social
Govern the data architecture, including design and data optimization, performance, predictive and actual data volumes, and data movement
Govern the identity and access management aspects of the application and Salesforce platform
Govern the low-level platform capabilities delivered through Lightning, Visualforce, and Apex
Handle community implementations that bring specific features into the Salesforce platform for consideration and governance
Create checklists for the governance steps, laid out in the method, and for any tooling recommendations that can help simplify the process of governance
