Micro frontend is a web architecture for frontend development borrowed from the idea of microservices in software development, where each module of the frontend is developed and shipped in isolation to avoid complexity and a single point of failure for your frontend.Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will take you through the patterns available for implementing a micro frontend solution. You’ll learn about micro frontends in general, the different architecture styles and their areas of use, how to prepare teams for the change to micro frontends, as well as how to adjust the UI design for scalability. Starting with the simplest variants of micro frontend architectures, the book progresses from static approaches to fully dynamic solutions that allow maximum scalability with faster release cycles. In the concluding chapters, you'll reinforce the knowledge you’ve gained by working on different case studies relating to micro frontends.By the end of this book, you'll be able to decide if and how micro frontends should be implemented to achieve scalability for your user interface (UI).
The Art of Social Engineering. Uncover the secrets behind the human dynamics in cybersecurity
Cesar Bravo, Desilda Toska
Social engineering is one of the most prevalent methods used by attackers to steal data and resources from individuals, companies, and even government entities. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding social engineering attacks and how to protect against them.The Art of Social Engineering starts by giving you an overview of the current cyber threat landscape, explaining the psychological techniques involved in social engineering attacks, and then takes you through examples to demonstrate how to identify those attacks.You’ll learn the most intriguing psychological principles exploited by attackers, including influence, manipulation, rapport, persuasion, and empathy, and gain insights into how attackers leverage technology to enhance their attacks using fake logins, email impersonation, fake updates, and executing attacks through social media. This book will equip you with the skills to develop your own defensive strategy, including awareness campaigns, phishing campaigns, cybersecurity training, and a variety of tools and techniques.By the end of this social engineering book, you’ll be proficient in identifying cyberattacks and safeguarding against the ever-growing threat of social engineering with your defensive arsenal.

Solve complex problems in C++ by learning how to think like a computer scientist. This book introduces computational thinking—a framework for solving problems using decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition—and shows you how to apply it using modern C++ features. You'll learn how to break down challenges, choose the right abstractions, and build solutions that are both maintainable and efficient. Through small examples and a large case study, this book guides you from foundational concepts to high-performance applications. You’ll explore reusable templates, algorithms, modularity, and even parallel computing and GPU acceleration. With each chapter, you’ll not only expand your C++ skillset, but also refine the way you approach and solve real-world problems. Written by a seasoned research engineer and C++ developer, this book combines practical insight with academic rigor.

In a world dominated by data and correlations, making good decisions requires understanding what truly causes what. The Causal Mindset Handbook is a clear, non-technical guide to causal reasoning and causal inference, designed to help readers think more clearly about cause and effect. Rather than focusing on complex statistics, the book introduces intuitive concepts and visual tools, such as causal graphs and counterfactual thinking, to evaluate claims, measure impact, and avoid common reasoning traps. Readers learn how causal inference differs from predictive models, and why correlation alone is not enough for sound decision-making. Drawing on real-world case studies from business, policy, and everyday life, the book shows how causal thinking works when perfect experiments are not possible. Designed for managers, analysts, policymakers, and curious professionals, it combines hands-on exercises with access to an interactive companion app, enabling readers to practice evidence-based decision-making with confidence.Foreword by Pr.
