Maven: The Definitive Guide by Sonatype Company explains how this tool can bring order to your software development projects. Maven is largely replacing Ant as the build tool of choice for large open source Java projects because, unlike Ant, Maven is also a project management tool that can run reports, generate a project website, and facilitate communication among members of a working team.

For too long, developers have worked on disorganized application projects, where every part seemed to have its own build system, and no common repository existed for information about the state of the project. Now there's help. The long-awaited official documentation to Maven is here.

To use Maven, everything you need to know is in this guide. The first part demonstrates the tool's capabilities through the development, from ideation to deployment, of several sample applications -- a simple software development project, a simple web application, a multi-module project, and a multi-module enterprise project.

The second part offers a complete reference guide that includes POM and Project Relationships, The Build Lifecycle, Plugins, project website generation, advanced site generation, reporting, properties, Build Profiles, the Maven Repository, IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, ands NetBeans, using and creating assemblies and developing with Maven Archetypes.

Several sources for Maven have appeared online for some time, but nothing served as an introduction and comprehensive reference guide to this tool -- until now. Maven: The Definitive Guide is the ideal book to help you manage development projects for software, web applications, and enterprise applications. And it comes straight from the source.

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, Martin Fowler

2013-10-08T00:14:00.000-07:00

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems.

With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform.

The practice of enterprise application development has benefited from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented. Common failures in enterprise applications often occur because their developers do not understand the architectural lessons that experienced object developers have learned.

This book is actually two books in one. The first section is a short tutorial on developing enterprise applications, which you can read from start to finish to understand the scope of the book's lessons. The next section, the bulk of the book, is a detailed reference to the patterns themselves. Each pattern provides usage and implementation information, as well as detailed code examples in Java or C#. The entire book is also richly illustrated with UML diagrams to further explain the concepts.

Armed with this book, you will have the knowledge necessary to make important architectural decisions about building an enterprise application and the proven patterns for use when building them. This is a book on enterprise application design. Enterprise applications are about the display, manipulation, and storage of large amounts of often complex data and the support or automation of business processes with that data.

Examples include reservation systems, financial systems, supply chain systems, and many others that run modern business. Enterprise applications have their own particular challenges and solutions, and they are different from embedded systems, control systems, telecoms, or desktop productivity software. Thus, if you work in these other fields, there's nothing really in this book for you (unless you want to get a feel for what enterprise applications are like.)

SDN: Software Defined Networks by Thomas Nadeau

2013-10-05T23:14:00.001-07:00

SDN: Software Defined Networks by Thomas Nadeau D. and Ken Gray shows what’s required for building networks that use software for bi-directional communication between purposes and the underlying network infrastructure.

This vendor-agnostic book additionally presents several SDN use circumstances, together with bandwidth scheduling and manipulation, input traffic and triggered actions, in addition to some attention-grabbing use instances round large knowledge, knowledge middle overlays, and network-function virtualization. Discover how enterprises and service suppliers alike are pursuing SDN because it continues to evolve.

You can explore the current state of the OpenFlow model and centralized network control, delve into distributed and central control, including data plane generation, examine the structure and capabilities of commercial and open source controllers, survey the available technologies for network programmability, and trace the modern data center from desktop-centric to highly distributed models.

The authors begin with control and data planes, followed by a good summary of distributed control planes, including IP routing and MPLS, and then a good synopsis of a few centralized control planes, including ATM LANE (and here you never thought your hard work in nailing down LANE would ever be useful again!). This second chapter provides a (rarely seen) good review of the concepts behind calculating paths and forwarding through them.

The third chapter moves into the realm of SDNs with a solid and useful overview of OpenFlow. The first section of the fourth chapter provides a brief history and operational description of VMWare. While VMWare, and it’s relation to virtual networking, is important, there is a good more detail than seems necessary to get the point across. The sections describing each of the available controllers are invaluable, although it does depend on definitions and descriptions provided later in the book. Some sections here were less useful than others, as might be expected with such a broad sweep of what is actually a complex topic.

Following this, the authors describe the history and design challenges of multitenant data centers in some detail. This chapter was useful for bringing together a lot of little bits I’ve had rattling around in my thinking for a long while, but I’m still not certain how it fits into the overall flow of the book.

There are new ways to connect instances of network-function virtualization and service chaining so you can get detailed information on constructing and maintaining an SDN network topology and examine an idealized SDN framework for controllers, applications, and ecosystems.

Learn Windows PowerShell 3 in a Month of Lunches 2nd Edition

2013-10-04T03:26:00.001-07:00

Learn Windows PowerShell 3 in a Month of Lunches 2nd Edition by Don Jones and Jeffery Hicks offers innovative tutorial designed for administrators. Just set aside one hour a day—lunchtime would be perfect—for a month, and you'll be automating Windows tasks faster than you ever thought possible. You'll start with the basics—what is PowerShell and what can you do with it.

Then, you'll move systematically through the techniques and features you'll use to make your job easier and your day shorter. This totally revised second edition covers new PowerShell 3 features designed for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. PowerShell is both a language and an administrative shell with which you can control and automate nearly every aspect of Windows. It accepts and executes commands immediately, and you can write scripts to manage most Windows servers like Exchange, IIS, and SharePoint.

Experience with Windows administration is helpful. No programming experience is assumed. This book contains 28 chapters and is designed to be read one chapter a day. One hour is enough time to read a single chapter and work through the re-enforcing lab exercises at the end of that chapter. This method of learning is extremely effective, especially for a beginner, which gives them consumable amounts of knowledge without overwhelming them.

In my opinion, this book is the best book on the market for someone who has no prior experience with PowerShell and wants to learn the best practices from day one, although prior experience working with at least the graphical user interface (GUI) on Microsoft Windows based workstations and servers would be helpful. This book is also beneficial for anyone already using PowerShell who wants to learn the best practices from two of the top PowerShell experts in the industry.

By the time you finish this book, you'll have a good understanding of the PowerShell help system, cmdlets, providers, objects, the pipeline, formatting, comparison operators, filtering, remoting, using PowerShell to access WMI, the new CIM cmdlets, background jobs, variables, and much more. My personal favorite chapter in this book is the one on regular expressions (chapter 24) which is a brand new chapter on a subject that wasn't included in the first edition of this book.

Introduction to Computing Using Python: An Application Development Focus by Ljubomir Perkovic takes the pedagogical approach of "the right tool for the job at the proper second," and focuses on utility development. The book's approach is fingers-on and problem-oriented, with practice issues and options appearing throughout the text.

The text is imperative-first, however does not draw back from discussing objects early the place appropriate. Discussions of user-outlined courses and Object-Oriented Programming appear later within the text, when students have extra background and the concepts can be motivated. It supplies an imperative-first introduction to Python focusing on computer applications and the method of growing them. The text helps develop computational considering abilities by covering patterns of how issues may be broken down and constructively solved to provide an algorithmic solution.

The book includes a chapter on problem solving and classical algorithms, and ways to apply core skills to application development. The last three chapters introduce a broad array of topics through the context of web crawling and search engines, including recursion, regular expressions, depth-first search, Google's MapReduce framework, GUI widgets, HTML parsers, SQL, and multicore programming.

This book has some good content that helps learning python. I think this is a good book for people learning python.It Emphasizes principles of software development, style, and testing. Topics include procedures and functions, iteration, recursion, arrays and vectors, strings, an operational model of procedure and function calls, algorithms, exceptions, object-oriented programming, and GUIs (graphical user interfaces).

Hadoop: The Definitive Guide 4th Edition by Tom White

2013-09-30T23:08:00.002-07:00

Hadoop: The Definitive Guide 4th Edition by Tom White shows comprehensive guide so you’ll learn how to build and maintain reliable, scalable, distributed systems with Apache Hadoop. This book is ideal for programmers looking to analyze datasets of any size, and for administrators who want to set up and run Hadoop clusters.

You’ll find illuminating case studies that demonstrate how Hadoop is used to solve specific problems. This third edition covers recent changes to Hadoop, including material on the new MapReduce API, as well as MapReduce 2 and its more flexible execution model (YARN). You can store large datasets with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).

By reading this book, you can run distributed computations with MapReduce, use Hadoop’s data and I/O building blocks for compression, data integrity, serialization (including Avro), and persistence, discover common pitfalls and advanced features for writing real-world MapReduce programs, design, build, and administer a dedicated Hadoop cluster—or run Hadoop in the cloud.

There are also guidelines to load data from relational databases into HDFS, using Sqoop, perform large-scale data processing with the Pig query language, analyze datasets with Hive, Hadoop’s data warehousing system, take advantage of HBase for structured and semi-structured data, and ZooKeeper for building distributed systems.

This book is able to bring you from no knowledge about Hadoop and the Big Data to a full knowledge of Hadoop and its usage. The book is split in 16 chapters and 3 appendix for a total of 628 pages of contents. This make ~33 pages for chapter so it's easy to read and to find what you need. This is very important since – even if it's possible – it's rare that this kind of book is read cover-to-cover.

The author, Tom White, does not limit himself to Hadoop itself, but does help the reader to understand the Hadoop ecosystem and White speaks a lot about some products of the Hadoop ecosystem giving to each of them a full chapter. These products are: Pig, Hive, HBase, ZooKeeper and Sqoop. The last chapter is a "Case Studies" chapter. In this chapter is shown the usage of Hadoop in some situations you could have thought were difficult or impossible to handle for Hadoop.
