This is the fifth edition of a guide to building modern web APIs with Django & Django REST Framework. It is suitable for beginners who have never built an API before, as well as professional programmers looking for a fast-paced introduction to Django API fundamentals and best practices. William S. Vincent shows how to set up a new project properly, create and customize RESTful APIs, and integrate a Vue.js front-end.

User authentication, permissions, documentation, viewsets, and routers are all covered.

In this book, Chris Dixon argues that the internet has undergone three distinct eras, starting with the "read" era, in which early networks democratized information. In the "read-write" era, corporate networks democratized publishing. We are now in the midst of the "read-write-own" era, sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks are granting power and economic benefits to communities of users, not just corporations. 

This book shows how to write effective multithreaded and asynchronous software in C#. Nir Dobovizki demonstrates practical techniques, real-world examples, and useful code samples to cut through the confusion around async/await and help you write rapid, reliable, and bug-free code. The book focuses on the practical use of the C# async-await feature to simplify asynchronous tasks. It teaches how to avoid common pitfalls, addresses classic multithreading issues like deadlocks and race conditions, and advanced topics such as controlling thread of execution and using thread-safe collections.

This book has been fully updated for the latest version of Office 365,  and covers coding basics and syntax for writing simple or complex macros that can automate routine Excel tasks. Dick Kusleika shows how to automate data management, user forms, and pivot tables. The book also teaches how to control the security settings for macros and save macros to use across files and apps.

In this book, subtitled "Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West",  Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska, co-founder and his deputy at Palantir argue that timid leadership, intellectual fragility, and an unambitious view of technology’s potential in Silicon Valley have made the U.S. vulnerable in an era of mounting global threats.

This book demonstrates how to interact with the hardware using Linux drivers and via Gpio5, a new open source IoT library created by Harry Fairhead that provides direct access to the Pi 5’s hardware. As the Pi 5 uses the RP1 chip to implement its peripherals, it does not work with the usual IoT libraries such as Wiring Pi, bcm2835, pigpio and so on. Gpio5, is designed to replace them and provide direct access to GPIO, PWM, I2C, SPI and more. This makes the Pi 5 much more capable of IoT applications.

This book is a practical guide to spotting the parts of a dataset that deviate from the norm, even when they're hidden or intertwined among the expected data points. Brett Kennedy explains how outlier detection is a vital tool for modern business, whether it's discovering new products, expanding markets, or flagging fraud and other suspicious activities. This guide presents the core tools for outlier detection, as well as techniques utilizing the Python data stack familiar to data scientists.

In this book, subtitled "Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy", cyber security expert Ronald Deibert details the unseemly marketplace for high-tech surveillance, professional disinformation, and computerized malfeasance. He reveals how his team of digital sleuths at the Citizen Lab have lifted the lid on dozens of covert operations targeting innocent citizens everywhere. Deibert recounts how the Lab exposed the world’s pre-eminent cyber-mercenary firm, NSO Group—the creators of the phone-hacking marvel Pegasus—in a series of human rights abuses.

The Art of Computer Programming is a multivolume work on the analysis of algorithms with volumes 1, 2, 3, 4A, and 4B published so far. To continue the set, and to update parts of the existing volumes, Donald Knuth has created a series of small books called fascicles, which are published at regular intervals.  Volume 4, Fascicle 7 forms the first third of what will eventually become hardcover Volume 4C.

This book aims to improve the understanding of Java developers for the ecosystem of tools and frameworks for collaboration, testing and building. Jeanne Boyarsky and Victor Grazi look at the frameworks, tools, and techniques used in enterprise Java development shops. The book has background and examples with guidance on annotations, logging frameworks, observability, performance tuning, testing tools, and collaboration, including Spring, Git, Prometheus, and Project Lombok.

This book shows how to make wearable electronics, where tech and fashion combine. Social Body Lab Founding Director and OCAD University Associate Professor Kate Hartman teaches the concepts and techniques behind wearables electronics, from choosing the right materials for a project to explaining how components can be combined to create dynamic costumes and couture.

This book, which also covers signals, standalone, SSR, and zoneless use, is designed to bring readers up to speed with Angular’s latest innovations. Armen Vardanyan demonstrates new ways of working with components, dependency injection, RxJS and Signals, all through building a complete enterprise-grade HR management system. The book also looks at upgrading the performance of apps with server-side rendering, and has detailed migration guides demonstrate ways to update existing apps to modern patterns.
