Cassandra Data Modeling and Analysis
Starting with a quick introduction to Cassandra, this book flows through various aspects such as fundamental data modeling approaches, selection of data types, designing a data model, choosing suitable keys and indexes through to a real-world application, all the while applying the best practices covered in this book. Although the application is small, you will be involved in the full development life cycle. You will go through the design considerations of coming up with a flexible and sustainable data model for a stock market technical-analysis application written in Python. As business changes continually and so does a data model, you will also learn the techniques of evolving a data model to address new business requirements. Running a web-scale Cassandra cluster requires many careful considerations such as evolving a data model, performance tuning, and system monitoring. This book is an invaluable tutorial for anyone who wants to adopt Cassandra. ...

Automate with Grunt
Grunt is everywhere. JavaScript projects from jQuery to Twitter Bootstrap use Grunt to convert code, run tests, and produce distributions for production. It's a build tool in the spirit of Make and Rake, but written with modern apps in mind. This book gets you up to speed with Grunt using practical hands-on examples, so you can wrangle your projects with ease. You'll learn how to create and maintain tasks and project builds, and automate your workflow with plugins and custom tasks. JavaScript has moved from being the language you love to hate to the language you need to use. And as JavaScript applications get more complex, you need a process to manage that complexity.
