Efficient Algorithm Design. Unlock the power of algorithms to optimize computer programming
Masoud Makrehchi
Efficient Algorithm Design redefines algorithms, tracing the evolution of computer science as a discipline bridging natural science and mathematics. Author Masoud Makrehchi, PhD, with his extensive experience in delivering publications and presentations, explores the duality of computers as mortal hardware and immortal algorithms. The book guides you through essential aspects of algorithm design and analysis, including proving correctness and the importance of repetition and loops. This groundwork sets the stage for exploring algorithm complexity, with practical exercises in design and analysis using sorting and search as examples. Each chapter delves into critical topics such as recursion and dynamic programming, reinforced with practical examples and exercises that link theory with real-world applications. What sets this book apart is its focus on the practical application of algorithm design and analysis, equipping you to solve real programming challenges effectively.By the end of this book, you’ll have a deep understanding of algorithmic foundations and gain proficiency in designing efficient algorithms, empowering you to develop more robust and optimized software solutions.

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, drastically improving how we deploy and manage cloud-native apps. Although it has simplified the lives of support professionals, we cannot say the same for developers who need to be equipped with better tools to increase productivity. An automated workflow that solves a wide variety of problems that every developer faces can make all the difference!Enter Skaffold – a command-line tool that automates the build, push, and deploy steps for Kubernetes applications.This book is divided into three parts, starting with common challenges encountered by developers in building apps with Kubernetes. The second part covers Skaffold features, its architecture, supported container image builders, and more. In the last part, you'll focus on practical implementation, learning how to deploy Spring Boot apps to cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Skaffold. You'll also create CI/CD pipelines for your cloud-native apps with Skaffold. Although the examples covered in this book are written in Java and Spring Boot, the techniques can be applied to apps built using other technologies too.By the end of this Skaffold book, you'll develop skills that will help accelerate your inner development loop and be able to build and deploy your apps to the Kubernetes cluster with Skaffold.
E-folklor w dobie kultury digitalnej. Szkice i studia z przedmową Andy'ego Rossa
Violetta Krawczyk-Wasilewska
Publikacja jest fascynującym zbiorem esejów autorki, bazujących na jej referatach, prezentowanych środowisku międzynarodowemu w ostatnim 15-leciu i dotyczy nowego folkloru, przekraczającego granice cyberprzestrzeni i wkraczającego już do życia codziennego użytkowników globalnych mediów elektronicznych. Pojęcie e-folkloru zmienia oblicze współczesnej folklorystyki, która z nauki historycznej, badającej lokalne dziedzictwo niematerialne staje się nauką o mediach, ukierunkowaną antropologicznie.
Mika Waltari
Jedna z najsłynniejszych powieści historycznych XX wieku. Przetłumaczona na 40 języków. W USA równie popularna jak Imię róży Umberto Eco. Zekranizowana i nominowana do Oskara. Faraon Echnaton przeprowadza w Egipcie rewolucyjne reformy religijne i społeczne. Zmiany, które burzą stary porządek wywołują zamieszki i prowadzą kraj ku przepaści. U stóp słuchaczy rozsypuje się mit o wspaniałym państwie, a wyłania prawdziwa twarz faraona oraz sieć intryg knutych przez kapłanów żądnych władzy. W te wydarzenia nierozerwalnie wplecione są losy Sinuhe królewskiego trepanatora i biegłego lekarza. Przychodzi na świat w tajemniczych okolicznościach, a los stawia go u boku najbardziej wpływowych postaci. Przemierza znany wówczas świat jako podróżnik i wywiadowca. Namiętnie kocha, zdobywa bogactwa i uczestniczy w wojnach, niestrudzenie poszukuje prawdy o swoim pochodzeniu i przeznaczeniu. Ze spisanej przez Sinuhe historii życia przebija przesłanie, że mimo upływu tysięcy lat ludzie nie zmienili się i kierują nimi te same namiętności, tęsknoty i ambicje, a każda władza deprawuje, unieszczęśliwia i sprawia, że człowiek pozostaje samotny.
Mika Waltari
Najsłynniejsza powieść historyczna Waltariego. Sinuhe, jako królewski trepanator związany z najwybitniejszymi osobistościami epoki faraona Amenofisa IV (Echnatona), zostaje wmieszany w ówczesne wydarzenia i intrygi. Ciesząc się bezgranicznym zaufaniem władcy doliny Nilu, przemierza w misji Syrię, Babilonię, Kretę i kraj Hatti, przeżywa wojny i prześladowania, kocha i nienawidzi, by wreszcie u schyłku życia poznać straszliwą tajemnicę związaną ze swymi narodzinami i odkryć własne przeznaczenie, które nie mogło się wypełnić skutkiem przedziwnych zrządzeń losu.
