REST powers the modern web, yet developers grapple with architectural missteps that lead to poorly designed REST endpoints, inadequate error handling, security vulnerabilities, and maintenance headaches. Written by five software engineering and Java experts, Mastering RESTful Web Services with Java helps you overcome these pitfalls with a deep, practical understanding of REST architecture, HTTP protocols, and modern API design principles.This hands-on guide introduces foundational concepts based on Roy Fielding’s principles and the Richardson Maturity Model and shows you how to apply them in your API development projects. You’ll build a Product API from scratch, progressively enhancing it with documentation, versioning, and security features, and then advance to creating an Order Management API that interacts with the Product API, while implementing advanced testing and performance optimization techniques. Each chapter delivers step-by-step explanations and practical examples, ensuring you develop production-ready skills that translate directly to your daily work.By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to deliver production-grade RESTful services and become the API expert your team turns to for critical application development projects.

RethinkDB has a lot of cool things to be excited about: ReQL (its readable,highly-functional syntax), cluster management, primitives for 21st century applications, and change-feeds. This book starts with a brief overview of the RethinkDB architecture and data modeling, and coverage of the advanced ReQL queries to work with JSON documents. Then, you will quickly jump to implementing these conceptsin real-world scenarios, by building real-time applications on polling, data synchronization, share market, and the geospatial domain using RethinkDB andNode.js. You will also see how to tweak RethinkDB's capabilities to ensure faster data processing by exploring the sharding and replication techniques in depth.Then, we will take you through the more advanced administration tasks as well as show you the various deployment techniques using PaaS, Docker, and Compose. By the time you have finished reading this book, you would have taken your knowledge of RethinkDB to the next level, and will be able to use the concepts in RethinkDB to develop efficient, real-time applications with ease.
Mastering Reverse Engineering. Re-engineer your ethical hacking skills
Reginald Wong
If you want to analyze software in order to exploit its weaknesses and strengthen its defenses, then you should explore reverse engineering. Reverse Engineering is a hackerfriendly tool used to expose security flaws and questionable privacy practices.In this book, you will learn how to analyse software even without having access to its source code or design documents. You will start off by learning the low-level language used to communicate with the computer and then move on to covering reverse engineering techniques. Next, you will explore analysis techniques using real-world tools such as IDA Pro and x86dbg. As you progress through the chapters, you will walk through use cases encountered in reverse engineering, such as encryption and compression, used to obfuscate code, and how to to identify and overcome anti-debugging and anti-analysis tricks. Lastly, you will learn how to analyse other types of files that contain code.By the end of this book, you will have the confidence to perform reverse engineering.

Roblox is a game platform with over 47 million daily active users. Something unique to Roblox is that you’re playing games made by other gamers! This means that you can make your own games, even if you have no experience. In addition, Roblox provides a free engine that allows you to create and publish a simple game in less than five minutes and get paid while at it.Most Roblox games require programming. This book starts with the basics of programming in Roblox Luau. Each chapter builds on the previous one, which eventually results in you mastering programming concepts in Lua. Next, the book teaches you complex technologies that you can implement in your game. Each concept is explained clearly and uses simple examples that show you how the technology is being used. This book contains additional exercises for you to experiment with the concepts you’ve learned. Using best practices, you will understand how to write and build complex systems such as databases, user input controls, and all device user interfaces. In addition, you will learn how to build an entire game from scratch.By the end of this book, you will be able to program complex systems in Roblox from the ground up by learning how to write code using Luau and create optimized code.
