Mastering Drupal 8 Views. Build sophisticated displays of your Drupal content, all without programming

Gregg Marshall

Learn how to build complex displays of content—all without programming.Views were used on more than 80% of all Drupal 7 sites; now they are part of the Drupal 8 core. While most site builders and site owners are aware of views, they don't understand how to take full advantage of their power to create many amazing pages and blocks. If they use views, they might build 10 different view displays with different filters, without knowing that a contextual filter would require only a single display.Using our sample company, we'll take its existing content and evolve an ever more complex and powerful website for that company, starting with adapting the administration the user sees and moving on to making complex pages of information for site visitors.While the book is written for Drupal 8, the similarities between Views in Drupal 7 and 8 make this a useful reference for Drupal 7 site builders also.

Reza Rad, Pedro Perfeito, Pedro M Perfeito, Abolfazl Radgoudarzi

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a leading tool in the data warehouse industry - used for performing extraction, transformation, and load operations. This book is aligned with the most common methodology associated with SSIS known as Extract Transform and Load (ETL); ETL is responsible for the extraction of data from several sources, their cleansing, customization, and loading into a central repository normally called Data Warehouse or Data Mart.Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services: An Expert Cookbook covers all the aspects of SSIS 2012 with lots of real-world scenarios to help readers understand usages of SSIS in every environment. Written by two SQL Server MVPs who have in-depth knowledge of SSIS having worked with it for many years.This book starts by creating simple data transfer packages with wizards and illustrates how to create more complex data transfer packages, troubleshoot packages, make robust SSIS packages, and how to boost the performance of data consolidation with SSIS. It then covers data flow transformations and advanced transformations for data cleansing, fuzzy and term extraction in detail. The book then dives deep into making a dynamic package with the help of expressions and variables, and performance tuning and consideration.

Managing Data as a Product. Design and build data-product-centered socio-technical architectures

Andrea Gioia, Giulio Scotti

Traditional monolithic data platforms struggle with scalability and burden central data teams with excessive cognitive load, leading to challenges in managing technological debt. As maintenance costs escalate, these platforms lose their ability to provide sustained value over time. With two decades of hands-on experience implementing data solutions and his pioneering work in the Open Data Mesh Initiative, Andrea Gioia brings practical insights and proven strategies for transforming how organizations manage their data assets.Managing Data as a Product introduces a modular and distributed approach to data platform development, centered on the concept of data products. In this book, you’ll explore the rationale behind this shift, understand the core features and structure of data products, and learn how to identify, develop, and operate them in a production environment. The book guides you through designing and implementing an incremental, value-driven strategy for adopting data product-centered architectures, including strategies for securing buy-in from stakeholders. Additionally, it explores data modeling in distributed environments, emphasizing its crucial role in fully leveraging modern generative AI solutions.By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a comprehensive understanding of product-centric data architecture and the essential steps needed to adopt this modern approach to data management.
