Scala is a statically typed, Java Virtual Machine (JVM)-based language with strong support for functional programming. There exist libraries for Scala that cover a range of common scientific computing tasks – from linear algebra and numerical algorithms to convenient and safe parallelization to powerful plotting facilities. Learning to use these to perform common scientific tasks will allow you to write programs that are both fast and easy to write and maintain.We will start by discussing the advantages of using Scala over other scientific computing platforms. You will discover Scala packages that provide the functionality you have come to expect when writing scientific software. We will explore using Scala's Breeze library for linear algebra, optimization, and signal processing. We will then proceed to the Saddle library for data analysis. If you have experience in R or with Python's popular pandas library you will learn how to translate those skills to Saddle. If you are new to data analysis, you will learn basic concepts of Saddle as well. Well will explore the numerical computing environment called ScalaLab. It comes bundled with a lot of scientific software readily available. We will use it for interactive computing, data analysis, and visualization. In the following chapters, we will explore using Scala's powerful parallel collections for safe and convenient parallel programming. Topics such as the Akka concurrency framework will be covered. Finally, you will learn about multivariate data visualization and how to produce professional-looking plots in Scala easily. After reading the book, you should have more than enough information on how to start using Scala as your scientific computing platform

Zwinne metody projektowania, takie jak Scrum, święcą dziś triumfy jako alternatywne podejście do przeprowadzania skomplikowanych, wieloaspektowych projektów, zwłaszcza z dziedziny IT. W przeciwieństwie do tradycyjnych systemów, Scrum zakłada podział projektu na krótkie iteracje (sprinty), z których każda kończy się przedstawieniem fragmentu działającego produktu. Niezwykle ważną częścią projektu jest działanie w pełnej zgodzie z osiągnięciami psychologii - nic nie dzieje się tu bez uwzględnienia potrzeb członków zespołu projektowego oraz docelowego klienta. Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się więcej o zwinnych sposobach prowadzenia projektów i zastosować je we własnej pracy, Mariusz Chrapko podpowie Ci, jak planować takie procesy, rozdzielać role, zbierać informacje i unikać poważniejszych błędów. Wskaże, jak szacować projekty i określać postępy prac. Wszystko to, okraszone mnóstwem konkretnych przykładów, barwnych analogii i dowcipnych anegdot, sprawi, że książka nie tylko bardzo Ci pomoże, ale także dostarczy wiele przyjemności podczas lektury.

Metodyki zwinne — Twój klucz do sukcesu! Tempo rozwoju współczesnych aplikacji jest zbyt duże, aby wciąż stosować skostniałe, stare metodyki zarządzania projektami. Obecnie należy błyskawicznie dostarczyć klientowi pierwszą wersję aplikacji i dopiero na podstawie jego uwag rozwijać oraz modyfikować program. Zwinne metodyki, w tym Scrum, pozwalają tego dokonać. Takie projekty nie zawsze są perfekcyjnie dopracowane, ale zazwyczaj pozwalają poznać opinię zleceniodawcy i lepiej zaplanować kolejne przebiegi — tzw. sprinty. Ta książka to doskonałe źródło informacji o Scrumie. W trakcie lektury poznasz założenia tej metodyki oraz jej zalety i wady. W kolejnych rozdziałach zaznajomisz się z podstawowymi pojęciami oraz dowiesz się, jak szacować wydajność zespołu. Rozdział IV to gwóźdź programu, ponieważ omawia sprint — kluczowy element tej metodyki. Znajdziesz tu najlepsze metody planowania sprintu, założenia, których należy przestrzegać, oraz definicję jego ukończenia, a ponadto odkryjesz, co to jest dług techniczny oraz jak go pilnować. To jeszcze nie koniec! Kolejne rozdziały tej książki zostały poświęcone rolom pełnionym przez różne osoby w czasie tworzenia projektu oraz etapom wchodzącym w skład projektu. Książka ta jest doskonałym źródłem informacji na temat metodyki Scrum oraz niezbędną lekturą dla osób rozważających jej wdrożenie w swoich projektach. Dzięki tej książce dowiesz się: jak zwinnie zarządzać projektami jakie niespodzianki oraz pułapki kryje metodyka Scrum w jaki sposób oszacować wydajność zespołu jak odnieść sukces w zarządzaniu projektami Sprawdź, jak Scrum może zmienić Twój projekt!
