Java Everywhere Again with DukeScript
For many years, Java Swing enabled developers to write applications that could run on any operating system. That all came to an end with the arrival of smart phones, tablets, and embedded computers. In the enterprise, the desktop dominated for many years. In the meantime, however, almost every IT project includes plans for a future where the application will need to be ported to mobile platforms. Building native applications for all platforms requires special skills and is expensive in terms of both maintenance and development. We wanted to solve this problem, to make cross-platform development available for everyone again. That's why we developed DukeScript. In this lab you will learn how to use DukeScript and develop Java applications that run on a lot of different devices. ...

Container Networking
When you start building your first containerized application, you're excited about the capabilities and opportunities you encounter: it runs the same in dev and in prod, it's straightforward to put together a container image using Docker, and the distribution is taken care of by a container registry. So, you're satisfied with how quickly you were able to containerize an existing, say, Python app, and now you want to connect it to another container that has a database, such as PostgreSQL. Also, you don't want to have to manually launch the containers and implement your own system that takes care of checking if the containers are still running and, if not, relaunching them. At this juncture, you might realize there's a challenge you're running into: container networking. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of moving parts in this domain and there are currently few best practice resources available in a central place. Fortunately, there are tons of articles, repos, and recipes avai ...

Microservices with Go
This book covers the key benefits and common issues of microservices, helping you understand the problems microservice architecture helps to solve, the issues it usually introduces, and the ways to tackle them. You'll start by learning about the importance of using the right principles and standards in order to achieve the key benefits of microservice architecture. The following chapters will explain why the Go programming language is one of the most popular languages for microservice development and lay down the foundations for the next chapters of the book. You'll explore the foundational aspects of Go microservice development including service scaffolding, service discovery, data serialization, synchronous and asynchronous communication, deployment, and testing. After covering the development aspects, you'll progress to maintenance and reliability topics. The last part focuses on more advanced topics of Go microservice development including system reliability, observability, main ...

Architecting and Building High-Speed SoCs
Modern and complex SoCs can adapt to many demanding system requirements by combining the processing power of ARM processors and the feature-rich Xilinx FPGAs. You'll need to understand many protocols, use a variety of internal and external interfaces, pinpoint the bottlenecks, and define the architecture of an SoC in an FPGA to produce a superior solution in a timely and cost-efficient manner. This book adopts a practical approach to helping you master both the hardware and software design flows, understand key interconnects and interfaces, analyze the system performance and enhance it using the acceleration techniques, and finally build an RTOS-based software application for an advanced SoC design. You'll start with an introduction to the FPGA SoCs technology fundamentals and their associated development design tools. Gradually, the book will guide you through building the SoC hardware and software, starting from the architecture definition to testing on a demo board or a virtua ...

Erlang Handbook
Erlang is the result of a project at Ericsson's Computer Science Laboratory to improve the programming of telecommunication applications. A critical requirement was supporting the characteristics of such applications, that include: massive concurrency, fault-tolerance, isolation, dynamic code upgrading at runtime, transactions. Throughout the whole of Erlang's history the development process has been extremely pragmatic. The characteristics and properties of the types of systems in which Ericsson was interested drove Erlang's development. These properties were considered to be so fundamental that it was decided to build support for them into the language itself, rather than in libraries. Because of the pragmatic development process, rather than a result of prior planning, Erlang "became" a functional language - since the features of functional languages fitted well with the properties of the systems being developed. The Erlang Handbook is a summary of the language features an ...
