DevOps Paradox. The truth about DevOps by the people on the front line

Viktor Farcic

DevOps promises to break down silos, uniting organizations to deliver high quality output in a cross-functional way. In reality it often results in confusion and new silos: pockets of DevOps practitioners fight the status quo, senior decision-makers demand DevOps paint jobs without committing to true change. Even a clear definition of what DevOps is remains elusive.In DevOps Paradox, top DevOps consultants, industry leaders, and founders reveal their own approaches to all aspects of DevOps implementation and operation. Surround yourself with expert DevOps advisors. Viktor Farcic draws on experts from across the industry to discuss how to introduce DevOps to chaotic organizations, align incentives between teams, and make use of the latest tools and techniques.With each expert offering their own opinions on what DevOps is and how to make it work, you will be able to form your own informed view of the importance and value of DevOps as we enter a new decade. If you want to see how real DevOps experts address the challenges and resolve the paradoxes, this book is for you.

TDD. Programowanie w Javie sterowane testami

Viktor Farcic, Alex Garcia

Programowanie sterowane testami (ang. test-driven development — TDD) nie jest nową metodyką. Jej praktyczne zastosowanie pozwala na rozwiązanie wielu problemów związanych z procesami rozwijania i wdrażania oprogramowania. Mimo ogromnych zalet, programowanie sterowane testami nie jest zbyt popularne wśród programistów. Wynika to z tego, że techniki TDD nie są łatwe do opanowania. Choć teoretyczne podstawy wydają się logiczne i zrozumiałe, nabranie wprawy w stosowaniu TDD wymaga długiej praktyki. Książka, którą trzymasz w ręce, została napisana przez programistów dla programistów. Jej celem jest przekazanie podstaw TDD i omówienie najważniejszych praktyk związanych z tą metodyką, a przede wszystkim — nauczenie praktycznego stosowania TDD w pracy. Autorzy nie ukrywają, że nabranie biegłości w takim programowaniu wymaga sporo wysiłku, jednak korzyści płynące z metodyki TDD są znaczne: skrócenie czasu wprowadzania produktów na rynek, łatwiejsza refaktoryzacja, a także wyższa jakość tworzonych projektów. Z tą książką dogłębnie zrozumiesz metodykę TDD i uzyskasz wystarczającą pewność siebie, by z powodzeniem stosować to podejście w trakcie programowania aplikacji w Javie. Dzięki tej książce: Nauczysz się podstaw metodyki TDD Poznasz potrzebne narzędzia, platformy i środowiska wraz ze szczegółami ich konfiguracji Wykonywasz praktyczne ćwiczenia i stopniowo wdrożysz się w TDD Poznasz proces „czerwone, zielone, refaktoryzacja” Dowiesz się, jak pisać testy jednostkowe wykonywane w izolacji od reszty kodu Dowiesz się, jak tworzyć prosty i łatwy w konserwacji kod, nauczysz się refaktoryzować już istniejący Nauczysz się pracować z atrapami, stosować programowanie sterowane zachowaniami, a także udostępniać połowicznie ukończone funkcje w środowisku produkcyjnym za pomocą przełączników funkcji Programowanie sterowane testami to metodyka dla prawdziwych profesjonalistów!

Test-Driven Java Development. Invoke TDD principles for end-to-end application development - Second Edition

Alex Garcia, Viktor Farcic

Test-driven development (TDD) is a development approach that relies on a test-first procedure that emphasizes writing a test before writing the necessary code, and then refactoring the code to optimize it.The value of performing TDD with Java, one of the longest established programming languages, is to improve the productivity of programmers and the maintainability and performance of code, and develop a deeper understanding of the language and how to employ it effectively.Starting with the basics of TDD and understanding why its adoption is beneficial, this book will take you from the first steps of TDD with Java until you are confident enough to embrace the practice in your day-to-day routine.You'll be guided through setting up tools, frameworks, and the environment you need, and we will dive right into hands-on exercises with the goal of mastering one practice, tool, or framework at a time. You'll learn about the Red-Green-Refactor procedure, how to write unit tests, and how to use them as executable documentation.With this book, you'll also discover how to design simple and easily maintainable code, work with mocks, utilize behavior-driven development, refactor old legacy code, and release a half-finished feature to production with feature toggles.You will finish this book with a deep understanding of the test-driven development methodology and the confidence to apply it to application programming with Java.

The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm. The next level of building reliable and scalable software unleashed

Viktor Farcic

Viktor Farcic's latest book, The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, takes you deeper into one of the major subjects of his international best seller, The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit, and shows you how to successfully integrate Docker Swarm into your DevOps toolset.Viktor shares with you his expert knowledge in all aspects of building, testing, deploying, and monitoring services inside Docker Swarm clusters. You'll go through all the tools required for running a cluster. You'll travel through the whole process with clusters running locally on a laptop. Once you're confident with that outcome, Viktor shows you how to translate your experience to different hosting providers like AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean. Viktor has updated his DevOps 2.0 framework in this book to use the latest and greatest features and techniques introduced in Docker. We'll go through many practices and even more tools. While there will be a lot of theory, this is a hands-on book. You won't be able to complete it by reading it on the metro on your way to work. You'll have to read this book while in front of the computer and get your hands dirty.
