Designing scalable and maintainable software with C++ requires more than language expertise—it demands strong architectural thinking. This practical guide equips you with the skills to design and build robust, distributed systems using modern C++.Starting with fundamental architectural principles and design philosophies, the book walks you through practical approaches to designing and deploying reliable systems. This edition contains significant updates across the book, including new chapters on observability, package management, and C++ modules to address real-world software challenges. You will explore software decomposition strategies, design and system patterns, fault tolerance, API management, and testability—all applied with C++.Additionally, the book covers modern CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native design, microservices, and modular development, helping developers navigate today's fast-evolving software landscape. With updated examples and a renewed emphasis on maintainable and observable architectures, this edition equips C++ professionals to architect modern systems. By the end of this book, you will be able to design, build, test, and deploy well-architected solutions using modern C++ and proven architectural techniques.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

While the climate crisis poses a threat to planetary health, digital transformation continues to reshape our societies. The challenge for technology leaders is no longer understanding why sustainability matters but knowing how to take decisive, responsible action. This book gives you the clarity, confidence, and tools to drive meaningful change.Updated with the latest trends, case studies, and insights, including responsible and sustainable AI lifecycle governance, it walks you through every stage of developing and implementing a sustainable IT strategy.The book is structured in three parts. Part 1 explores the “why,” grounding you in the reality of the urgent climate crisis we face today, how we arrived here, the planetary boundaries we must restore, and the broader impact of IT on society. Part 2 covers the “what,” outlining the practical actions you can take to drive meaningful returns on sustainable investments and build a greener future. Part 3 focuses on the “how,” establishing baselines, setting direction, and applying real-world case studies to help you translate intent to impactful global outcomes.Whether you’re building a sustainability strategy from the ground up or enhancing existing initiatives, this book prepares you to lead the way with confidence and deliver outcomes that matter.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the vast number of Python tools available for bioinformatics, you're not alone. The Bioinformatics with Python Cookbook is a recipe-based guide that explores practical approaches for solving classic bioinformatics challenges, showing you which Python packages work best for each task.You’ll start with the essential Python libraries for data science and bioinformatics, then move through key workflows in sequencing analysis, quality control, alignment, and variant calling. Along the way, you’ll pick up modern coding practices, explore recent advances in bioinformatics research, and gain hands-on experience with libraries such as NumPy, pandas, and sci-kit learn. This book walks you through core bioinformatics tasks such as phylogenetic analysis and population genomics while familiarizing you with the wealth of modern public bioinformatics databases. You’ll learn cloud computing approaches used by researchers, set up workflow orchestration systems for controlling bioinformatics pipelines, and see how AI and the use of large language models (LLMs) are reshaping the field–right down to designing proteins and DNA.By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to apply Python for real bioinformatics work and launch bioinformatics pipelines for your research.
