Naming is one of the most difficult and enduring challenges in software engineering, but few of us do it well. This practical and comprehensive book provides a set of principles, rules, and application guidelines for efficiently choosing good names in your code.

Official companion guide to the OWASP Juice Shop. Being a web application with a vast number of intended security vulnerabilities, the OWASP Juice Shop is supposed to be the opposite of a  best practice  or  template application  for web developers: It is an awareness, training, demonstration and exercise tool for security risks in modern web apps.

Java has changed. Have your patterns kept up?The Gang of Four wrote their landmark patterns in 1994 — when Java didn't exist, generics were a decade away, and "concurrency" meant carefully managing a handful of platform threads. Thirty years later, Java 21 through 25 has transformed the language: records replace boilerplate classes, sealed interfaces model closed type hierarchies with compiler enforcement, pattern matching eliminates entire categories of unsafe casting, and virtual threads make a million concurrent tasks not just possible but routine.Modern Java Design Patterns bridges that gap. Every classic pattern is shown first in its original form, then systematically rebuilt with the language features that exist today. The result is code that is shorter, safer, more expressive, and immediately recognisable to any team working on a modern Java codebase.

Introduction to Statistics for the Life and Biomedical Sciences is the 4th official OpenIntro book and has been written to be used in conjunction with a set of self-paced learning labs. These labs guide students through learning how to apply statistical ideas and concepts discussed in the text with the R computing language.

Build and operate production AI platforms on Kubernetes. Learn to manage NVIDIA GPUs, serve and optimize LLMs with vLLM, run training and batch workloads, and design secure, observable, multi-tenant infrastructure for AI at scale.

Modern cybersecurity is no longer just about firewalls and antivirus. It is about architecture, governance, secure software delivery, cloud resilience, Zero Trust, AI security, and operational discipline.The Master Guide to Cyber Security brings these domains together into one practical enterprise-focused reference designed for modern security professionals, architects, engineers, and technology leaders.Built around real-world frameworks, secure-by-design principles, and current threat realities, this guide provides a structured roadmap for building secure systems in cloud-native and enterprise environments.

Unlock the full potential of modern Angular with Signals ... now stable in Angular v22. Angular's reactivity model is going through its biggest shift yet, and Signals are at the heart of it: simpler, faster, more predictable apps. This fully updated guide takes you from the fundamentals to advanced mastery ... the core signal, computed, and effect, the new linkedSignal, resource/httpResource, and Signal Forms ... plus a practical path for migrating off Zone.js and RxJS.

Git no es complicado... ¡Si lo entiendes! ? ¿Sientes que sabes usarlo porque has memorizado todos los comandos que necesitas? ¡Pero no entiendes qué hace cada cosa y por qué! Así es normal que, cuando exista un problema, te cueste resolverlo. ¡Con este libro vas a entender de una vez por todas todo lo que es Git y cómo sacarle provecho!

Emacs Writing Studio by Peter Prevos is a comprehensive guide for writers seeking to streamline their workflow using Emacs. The book covers everything from organising ideas and writing distraction-free to publishing in multiple formats. It’s perfect for both beginners and experienced Emacs users, offering practical tips and a tailored configuration to enhance your writing process.

Master structural code search and refactoring with ast-grep, the definitive tool for AST-based code manipulation. This comprehensive guide builds your expertise from the ground up, revealing why regex-based searching fails and how Abstract Syntax Trees enable transformations that text-based tools cannot achieve. You'll progress from foundational concepts to advanced techniques, gaining the deep understanding and systematic skills to automate complex refactorings, enforce architectural patterns, and wield code structure itself as your instrument.

Most teams don’t suffer from a lack of effort—they suffer from a lack of alignment. Goals are misaligned, boundaries are unclear, and work often centres on internal priorities instead of user needs— resulting in frustration and delays. User Needs Mapping: Aligning Teams Around What Matters offers a practical, visual way to reconnect organisations with the people they serve. Instead of guessing at structure or copying someone else’s model, this book shows you how to expose hidden dependencies, identify genuine user needs, and make better choices about team design and responsibilities. Through real-world case studies and step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to navigate tensions between wants, needs, and feasibility, create clarity of purpose, and build teams that deliver meaningful outcomes. Whether you’re a leader, product manager, architect, or change agent, this book equips you to turn complexity into clarity and enable teams to flow faster—aligned around what matters.

Tired of React runtime errors despite TypeScript? Elm guarantees zero runtime exceptions—if it compiles, it works. This practical guide shows React developers how Elm's strict functional programming approach eliminates entire classes of bugs while teaching you real FP concepts that transfer to any language. Learn the pattern that inspired Redux, discover compile-time safety that catches errors TypeScript misses, and see side-by-side code comparisons from a production codebase with 150,000+ lines of Elm. Your React knowledge is your advantage—this book meets you where you are. Why this book exists: Christian believes Elm is the fastest and most effective way for developers to truly learn functional programming—not watered-down FP patterns, but real, uncompromising functional thinking. Whether you adopt Elm professionally or not, learning it will make you a better developer in any language. This book is his way of sharing that insight with React developers who are ready to level up.

Your knowledge graphs are fundamentally broken. RDF forces complex relationships into binary triples. OWL can't express real constraints. SHACL catches errors after corruption spreads.Dependent types change everything. Types that depend on values make invalid data impossible to construct. Higher-order logic enables meta-reasoning about relationships. Contextual types handle knowledge that varies by time and perspective.This book reveals how type theory solves problems RDF/OWL cannot address:Native hypergraph representationFormal constraint verificationAI memory systems for edge devicesScientific knowledge evolutionLearn practical implementations in ELPI, TypeDB, Twelf, and Beluga. Discover migration strategies from existing RDF infrastructure.The future of AI demands better knowledge representation. The future of knowledge representation is type theory.Ready to build knowledge systems that match reality's complexity?

CI/CD is everywhere in modern software engineering—but most teams still struggle to make it deliver real results. CI/CD: Anti-Patterns exposes 62 common pitfalls and shows how to turn slow, error-prone pipelines into fast, reliable delivery loops that actually work.
