Baza danych od środka. Analiza działania rozproszonych systemów danych

Alex Petrov

W ciągu ostatnich 15 lat powstało tak wiele baz danych i narzędzi, że łatwo się pogubić, jeśli próbuje się zrozumieć przypadki użycia, szczegóły i specyfiki. Większość opracowań na temat systemów baz danych nie opisuje implementacji mechanizmu pamięci masowej. Tymczasem znajomość tych wewnętrznych aspektów jest bardzo ważna dla programistów, inżynierów, architektów i menedżerów. Aby wybrać odpowiednie narzędzie do pracy, musisz zrozumieć idee i algorytmy stojące za ich projektem. Michael Klishin, współpracownik RabbitMQ Ta książka ułatwi Ci zgłębienie koncepcji kryjących się za działaniem nowoczesnych baz danych. Dzięki niej zrozumiesz, w jaki sposób struktury dyskowe różnią się od tych w pamięci i jak działają algorytmy efektywnego utrzymywania struktur B drzewa na dysku. Poznasz implementacje pamięci masowej o strukturze dziennika. Znajdziesz tu również wyjaśnienie zasad organizacji węzłów w klaster baz danych i specyfiki środowisk rozproszonych. Dowiesz się, jak algorytmy rozproszone poprawiają wydajność i stabilność systemu i jak uzyskać ostateczną spójność danych. Ponadto w książce zaprezentowano koncepcje antyentropii i plotek, służące do zapewniania zbieżności i rozpowszechniania danych, a także mechanizm transakcji utrzymujący spójność logiczną bazy. Najważniejsze zagadnienia: klasyfikacja i taksonomia pamięci masowej silniki pamięci masowej oparte na B-drzewie i niezmienna struktura dziennika struktura plików bazy danych pamięć podręczna stron i pule buforów systemy rozproszone: złożone wzorce komunikacji węzłów i procesów klastry baz danych Obowiązkowa lektura dla każdego, kto korzysta z jakiejkolwiek bazy danych!

Bądź Agile. Zwinnie o HR i Employer Brandingu

Olga Żółkiewicz, Marcin Olszewski_, Mateusz Czarnecki

Pierwszy w Polsce kompleksowy przewodnik po Agile HR i EB Agile, zwinność - to terminy, które w pierwszej kolejności kojarzą się z branżą IT. I słusznie. Zwolennicy zwinnego programowania przyjmują, że skoro oczekiwania odbiorcy ewoluują w trakcie pracy nad produktem, jej założenia i metody powinny się do tych zmian adaptować. Firmy z sektora IT od dawna są Agile. Jednak zwinność przydaje się nie tylko specjalistom od kodowania. To podejście do zadań sprawdza się także w HR-ze i employer brandingu. Ważni gracze na rynku, jak telekomunikacja oraz bankowość, stawiają na zwinną transformację swoich działów HR. Czy to oznacza, że Agile jest tylko dla wielkich? Absolutnie nie! Autorzy tego przewodnika udowadniają, że ten sposób pracy z ludźmi w przedsiębiorstwach jest i dla dużych, i dla małych. Tłumaczą, na czym polega zwinność w HR i EB, podają przykłady większych i mniejszych firm działających w tych obszarach zgodnie z Agile. Dzielą się wiedzą o przydatnych narzędziach, podsuwają praktyczne wskazówki i cytują komentarze specjalistów, którzy od dawna pracują w stylu Agile. Wszystko po to, by stworzyć pełny obraz możliwości, jakie daje zwinność w zakresie human resources i employer brandingu.
