Developing Backbone.js Applications
If you want to build your site's frontend with the single-page application (SPA) model, this hands-on book shows you how to get the job done with Backbone.js. You'll learn how to create structured JavaScript applications, using Backbone's own flavor of model-view-controller (MVC) architecture. Start with the basics of MVC, SPA, and Backbone, then g
Redis For Dummies, 2nd Edition
NoSQL is a modern data persistence storage paradigm that provides data persistence for environments where high performance is a primary requirement. Within NoSQL, data is stored in such a way as to make both writing and reading quite fast, even under heavy load. Redis and Redis Enterprise are market-leading, multi-model NoSQL databases that bring N
CI/CD with Docker and Kubernetes, 2nd Edition
Containers change how developers build, test, and deploy code. Adopting them takes time, and using them incorrectly can slow down the delivery process. Not every organization has a dedicated team of engineers to focus on this transition, unlike companies such as Spotify or Netflix. A startup CTO, for example, may need to prioritize shipping feature
Node.js Handbook
Node.js is built on top of the Google Chrome V8 JavaScript engine, and it's mainly used to create web servers - but it's not limited to that. Node.js Handbook follows the 80/20 rule: learn in 20% of the time the 80% of a topic. The author find this approach gives a well-rounded overview.
Building Secure and Reliable Systems
Can a system be considered truly reliable if it isn't fundamentally secure? Or can it be considered secure if it's unreliable? Security is crucial to the design and operation of scalable systems in production, as it plays an important part in product quality, performance, and availability. In this book, experts from Google share best practices to h
Deep Learning with JavaScript
Deep learning has transformed the fields of computer vision, image processing, and natural language applications. Thanks to TensorFlow.js, now JavaScript developers can build deep learning apps without relying on Python or R. Deep Learning with JavaScript shows developers how they can bring DL technology to the web. Written by the main authors of t

Retrieval-Augmented Generation in Production with Haystack
In today's rapidly changing AI technology environment, software engineers often struggle to build real-world applications with large language models (LLM). The benefits of incorporating open source LLMs into existing workflows is often offset by the need to create custom components. That's where Haystack comes in. This open source framework is a co
