FPGAs for Dummies, 2nd Edition
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits that enable designers to program customized digital logic in the field. FPGAs have been around since the 1980s and were originally conceived to give all design teams the ability to create custom logic. In the early days, using an FPGA in your design meant you had to do a lot of programming just to get your FPGA to perform simple functions, so most designers avoided them. If you haven't looked into FPGAs since your university studies way back when, you'll want to take another look at them. The FPGA has evolved from a useful but humble interface device into a system-level integrated circuit (IC) with its own microprocessors, memory blocks, and interfaces. It's the next big thing. Now would be a great time to get an inexpensive development kit, download free tools, and begin to explore this world for yourself. And this book will help you understand the practical uses of FPGAs. This book is for you if you're a system d ...

Redis For Dummies
NoSQL is a modern data persistence storage paradigm that provides data persistence for environments where high performance is a primary requirement. Within NoSQL, data is stored in such a way as to make both writing and reading quite fast, even under heavy load. Redis and Redis Enterprise are market-leading, multi-model NoSQL databases that bring NoSQL to organizations both big and small. Redis is open source, and Redis Enterprise software adds several enhancements that are important to the enterprise customer. Redis Enterprise Cloud enables Redis Enterprise deployments on popular cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. This book provides a starting point for those new to NoSQL and those who have heard about NoSQL but would like to see how it might be used in their organization. The book serves multiple audiences, with chapters geared towards managers and chapters specifically for developers. You don't need to read this book from fron ...
