Budowanie mikrousług. Projektowanie drobnoziarnistych systemów. Wydanie II
Sam Newman
Mikrousługi są dla wielu organizacji wspaniałą alternatywą. Systemy rozproszone złożone ze współpracujących ze sobą mikrousług pozwalają na efektywne i elastyczne dostarczanie oprogramowania, które ściśle odpowiada na wymagania użytkowników. Dodatkową zaletą jest możliwość relatywnie szybkiego wprowadzania modyfikacji w systemie, co ułatwia płynne zaspokajanie zmieniających się potrzeb. Pewnym wyzwaniem dla programistów jednak może być złożoność powodowana przez właściwości architektury systemów rozproszonych, a także pojawiające się wciąż nowe technologie i metodyki, które znacząco zmieniają sposób korzystania z mikrousług. To drugie wydanie praktycznego przewodnika po projektowaniu, tworzeniu, wdrażaniu, skalowaniu i utrzymaniu systemów opartych na drobnoziarnistych mikrousługach. Publikacja została uzupełniona o informacje dotyczące najnowszych trendów i technologii związanych z mikrousługami. Sporo miejsca poświęcono na staranne przeanalizowanie przykładów dotyczących opisywanych koncepcji, a także pokazanie optymalnych sposobów rozwiązywania różnych problemów. Opisano również najnowsze rozwiązania dotyczące modelowania, integracji, testowania, wdrażania i monitorowania autonomicznych usług. Bardzo interesującą częścią są studia przypadków, w których przeanalizowano, jak organizacjom udaje się w praktyce w pełni wykorzystywać możliwości mikrousług. Dzięki książce dowiesz się, jak: przeprowadzać orkiestrację kontenerów i wdrażać rozwiązania bezserwerowe dostosowywać projekt systemu do potrzeb organizacji wybrać najlepszy sposób integracji usługi z systemem samodzielnie wdrażać mikrousługi skutecznie testować i monitorować usługi rozproszone zarządzać zabezpieczeniami dla rozszerzonej zawartości Architektura mikrousług: naucz się podejmować najlepsze decyzje projektowe!

Gamification involves the process of leveraging the features of real games into real life. A gamified website has the potential to increase user engagement, ROI, and learning. This book will help you build gamified websites with PHP and jQuery by making you understand the gamification design process to implement game mechanics in practical applications.Gamified websites are very popular amongst Internet users. The gamification of a web content draws users into action to empower them and help them develop new skills. Games engage user attention into the task and each task accomplished will mean the development and enhancement of new skills. This book will help you to apply the essence of games into real word applications such as business and education.Build Gamified Websites with PHP and jQuery aims at empowering and educating the users with an educational gamified website. The book walks through the process of developing a gamified website. Through the course of the book, you will learn gamification development process. The book emphasizes on the application of game mechanics to motivate the user. You will then use the Fogg behaviour model to influence the user behaviour. By the end of the book, you will see yourself building more engaging yet simple websites based on rational principles.
Building a 3D Game with LibGDX. Learn how to build an exciting 3D game with LibGDX from scratch

LibGDX is a hugely popular open source, cross-platform, Java-based game development framework built for the demands of cross-platform game development. This book will teach readers how the LibGDX framework uses its 3D rendering API with the OpenGL wrapper, in combination with Bullet Physics, 3D Particles, and Shaders to develop and deploy a game application to different platformsYou will start off with the basic Intellij environment, workflow and set up a LibGDX project with necessary APIs for 3D development. You will then go through LibGDX’s 3D rendering API main features and talk about the camera used for 3D. Our next step is to put everything together to build a basic 3D game with Shapes, including basic gameplay mechanics and basic UI. Next you will go through modeling, rigging, and animation in Blender. We will then talk about refining mechanics, new input implementations, implementing enemy 3D models, mechanics, and gameplay balancing. The later part of this title will help you to manage secondary resources like audio, music and add 3D particles in the game to make the game more realistic. You will finally test and deploy the app on a multitude of different platforms, ready to start developing your own titles how you want!

In the fast-paced world of AI, developers are constantly seeking efficient ways to integrate AI capabilities into their apps. Microsoft Semantic Kernel simplifies this process by using the GenAI features from Microsoft and OpenAI.Written by Lucas A. Meyer, a Principal Research Scientist in Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, this book helps you get hands on with Semantic Kernel. It begins by introducing you to different generative AI services such as GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, demonstrating their integration with Semantic Kernel. You’ll then learn to craft prompt templates for reuse across various AI services and variables. Next, you’ll learn how to add functionality to Semantic Kernel by creating your own plugins. The second part of the book shows you how to combine multiple plugins to execute complex actions, and how to let Semantic Kernel use its own AI to solve complex problems by calling plugins, including the ones made by you. The book concludes by teaching you how to use vector databases to expand the memory of your AI services and how to help AI remember the context of earlier requests. You’ll also be guided through several real-world examples of applications, such as RAG and custom GPT agents.By the end of this book, you'll have gained the knowledge you need to start using Semantic Kernel to add AI capabilities to your applications.

In Building AI-Powered Apps with Angular, you'll embark on an end-to-end journey to revolutionize web development with artificial intelligence. This hands-on guide shows you how to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like Google Gemini and multimodal agents, directly into your Angular applications.Starting with AI/ML fundamentals and an introduction to Google Gemini using Node.js, you’ll quickly progress to building sophisticated AI features within your Angular frontend. You’ll create dynamic content, design intelligent multi-turn chat interfaces, and harness multimodal AI to analyze and generate rich media such as images and videos.The journey extends beyond the frontend. You’ll build robust backends with Angular Server-Side Rendering and Genkit, enabling seamless communication with AI models. You’ll also implement advanced search capabilities using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Firestore and learn how to deploy your AI-powered Angular app to the cloud.By the end of the book, you'll have the skills to design, develop, and deploy innovative and intelligent Angular applications that leverage the full potential of AI.
