Azure Arc-Enabled Data Services Revealed
Get introduced to Azure Arc-enabled data services and the powerful capabilities they provide to deploy and manage local, on-premises, and hybrid cloud data resources using the same centralized management and tooling you get from the Azure cloud. This book shows how you can deploy and manage databases running on SQL Server and Posgres in your corporate data center as if they were part of the Azure platform. You will learn how to benefit from the centralized management that Azure provides, the automated rollout of patches and updates, and more. This book is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a hybrid or multi-vendor cloud strategy for their data estate. The authors walk you through the possibilities and requirements to get services such as Azure SQL Managed Instance and PostgresSQL Hyperscale, deployed outside of Azure, so the services are accessible to companies that cannot move to the cloud or do not want to use the Microsoft cloud exclusively. The technology described in thi ...

Data Parallel C++
Learn how to accelerate C++ programs using data parallelism. This open book enables C++ programmers to be at the forefront of this exciting and important new development that is helping to push computing to new levels. It is full of practical advice, detailed explanations, and code examples to illustrate key topics. Data parallelism in C++ enables access to parallel resources in a modern heterogeneous system, freeing you from being locked into any particular computing device. Now a single C++ application can use any combination of devices - including GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs and AI ASICs - that are suitable to the problems at hand. This book teaches data-parallel programming using C++ and the SYCL standard from the Khronos Group and walks through everything needed to use SYCL for programming heterogeneous systems. The book begins by introducing data parallelism and foundational topics for effective use of SYCL and Data Parallel C++ (DPC++), the open source compiler used in this book. La ...

Spring Boot: Up and Running
With over 75 million downloads per month, Spring Boot is the most widely used Java framework available. Its ease and power have revolutionized application development from monoliths to microservices. Yet Spring Boot's simplicity can also be confounding. How do developers learn enough to be productive immediately? This practical book shows you how to use this framework to write successful mission-critical applications. Mark Heckler from VMware, the company behind Spring, guides you through Spring Boot's architecture and approach, covering topics such as debugging, testing, and deployment. If you want to develop cloud native Java or Kotlin applications with Spring Boot rapidly and effectively (using reactive programming, building APIs, and creating database access of all kinds) this book is for you. Learn how Spring Boot simplifies cloud native application development and deployment; Build reactive applications and extend communication across the network boundary to create distribu ...

Machine Learning for Kids
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of computers to simulate human thinking. Machine learning (ML) is one of the building blocks of AI. It's based on the idea that computers can be taught to do things on their own from the data and feedback you give them. Machine Learning for Kids consists of this book and a kid-friendly companion website paired with the educational coding platform, Scratch. Together, they provide an easy-to-use guided programming environment for adding ML capabilities to your own AI projects! As you work through each chapter you'll discover how ML systems can be taught to recognize text, images, numbers, and sounds, and different ways of training ML models to improve their accuracy. You'll turn your models into fun computer games and apps (and see what happens when an AI system gets confused by bad data) while building: - A Rock, Paper, Scissors game that knows your hand shapes; - A smart question-answering chatbot; - A computer character that reacts ...

The Common Java Cookbook
This book focuses on tactical implementation details, answering such questions as: How do we parse XML? How do we serialize beans? Is there an easier way to work with Collections? How do we work with HTTP and keep track of cookies? In enterprise software development, the tactical is often sacrificed for the strategic. Consider a complex enterprise-scale system with a solid, well-conceived architecture. The strategic (or high-level) design appears reasonable from 40,000 feet, but as soon as you drill into the details, you notice that every component contains pages upon pages of unmaintainable and unnecessary code because the developers were not aware of some valuable time-saver like BeanUtils, Collections, or the Digester. Or, worse, the developer may have spent a week reimplementing most of the capabilities of Commons BeanUtils even though BeanUtils was already in the classpath. While a familiarity with Apache Commons may not directly affect the architecture of your application, knowin ...
