Eingebettete Systeme begegnen uns mittlerweile uberall im Alltag: vom Mikrocontroller in der Waschmaschine bis hin zum leistungsfahigen DSP im Autoradio. Noch vor wenigen Jahren wurden diese Prozessoren aufwandig in Assembler programmiert und besassen nur in den wenigsten Fallen ein Betriebssystem. Mittlerweile aber bieten leistungsfahige und schlanke Linux-Derivate auch auf einfachen Prozessoren den Komfort der Schnittstellentreiber, des Multi-Threadings und eines Dateisystems. Die vorgestellte Hardware ist teilweise Konsumerprodukten entlehnt und somit gut erhaltlich.

Besonderer Wert wird auf die Praxistauglichkeit der Implementierungen gelegt, und so sind die Beispiele zur Hardwareanbindung via I2C, zur Kommunikation und zur Bildverarbeitung vollstandig durchimplementiert und online frei verfugbar. Das vorliegende Buch richtet sich an Berufsanfanger, Praktiker und Studenten der Informatik und der Ingenieurswissenschaften.

With traditional software unit tests, there's never a guarantee that an application will actually function correctly in the production environment. When you add microservices, testing becomes even more tricky. Testing Java Microservices teaches readers how to write tests like unit, component, integration, container, contract, chaos, and more. Along the way, it also covers technologies like the Arquillian ecosystem, Wiremock, Mockito, AssertJ, Pact or Gatling. Finally, the book demonstrates how everything fits together into the Continuous Delivery pipeline. Key Features: * Practical hands-on guide * Writing Persistence tests * Teaches test strategies * Shows how everything fits together in the Continuous Delivery Pipeline Readers should be comfortable programming in Java. Experience with testing tools like jUnit is helpful but not required. Some experience in Java EE, Spring and Docker is also helpful. About the Technology: A microservice may consist of several, several hundred, or even several thousand of lines of code. Microservices enable programmers to isolate and scale smaller pieces of an application, rather than the entire application.

To get the most out of modern JavaScript, you need learn the latest features of its parent specification, ECMAScript 6 (ES6). This book provides a highly practical look at ES6, without getting lost in the specification or its implementation details. Armed with practical examples, author Nicolas Bevacqua shows you new ways to deal with asynchronous flow control, declare objects or functions, and create proxies or unique sets, among many other features. The first title in Bevacqua's Modular JavaScript series, Practical Modern JavaScript prepares JavaScript and Node.js developers for applied lessons in modular design, testing, and deployment in subsequent books. This book explains: How JavaScript and its standards development process have evolved Essential ES6 changes, including arrow functions, destructuring, let and const Class syntax for declaring object prototypes, and the new Symbol primitive How to handle flow control with Promises, iterators, generators, and async functions ES6 collection built-in types for creating object maps and unique sets How and when to use the new Proxy and Reflect built-ins Changes to Array, Math, numbers, strings, Unicode, and regular expressions, and other improvements since ES5

"Drag and Drop" is a series of 12 books, mainly aimed at beginners and students. It is based on the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) method, so the reader can easily correlate what is written in the book with what is displayed on the computer screen. The programs can be learnt by the simple process of dragging, dropping and clicking on the command with the mouse. Each book in the series focuses on a particular software and explains it in a clear and concise manner.

After years of anticipation and delay, the W3C finally released the XSLT 2.0 standard in January 2007. The revised edition of this classic book offers practical, real-world examples that demonstrate how you can apply XSLT style sheets to XML data using either the new specification, or the older XSLT 1.0 standard. XSLT is a critical language for converting XML documents into other formats, such as HTML code or a PDF file. With "XSLT", you get a thorough understanding of XSLT and XPath and their relationship to other web standards, along with recommendations for a honed toolkit in an open platform-neutral, standards-based environment.This book: covers the XSLT basics, including simple style sheets and methods for setting up transformation engines; walks you through the many parts of XSLT, particularly XSLT's template-based approach to transformations; applies both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 solutions to the same problems, helping you decide which version of XSLT is more appropriate for your project; and, includes profuse examples that complement both the tutorial and the reference material. The new edition of "XSLT" has been updated thoroughly to explain XSLT 2.0 's many dependencies, notably XML Schema and XPath 2.0. Want to find out how the 2.0 specification improves on the old? This book will explain.

The Hands-On, Example-Rich Introduction to Pandas Data Analysis in Python Today, analysts must manage data characterized by extraordinary variety, velocity, and volume. Using the open source Pandas library, you can use Python to rapidly automate and perform virtually any data analysis task, no matter how large or complex. Pandas can help you ensure the veracity of your data, visualize it for effective decision-making, and reliably reproduce analyses across multiple datasets. Pandas for Everyone brings together practical knowledge and insight for solving real problems with Pandas, even if you're new to Python data analysis. Daniel Y. Chen introduces key concepts through simple but practical examples, incrementally building on them to solve more difficult, real-world problems. Chen gives you a jumpstart on using Pandas with a realistic dataset and covers combining datasets, handling missing data, and structuring datasets for easier analysis and visualization. He demonstrates powerful data cleaning techniques, from basic string manipulation to applying functions simultaneously across dataframes. Once your data is ready, Chen guides you through fitting models for prediction, clustering, inference, and exploration. He provides tips on performance and scalability, and introduces you to the wider Python data analysis ecosystem. Work with DataFrames and Series, and import or export data Create plots with matplotlib, seaborn, and pandas Combine datasets and handle missing data Reshape, tidy, and clean datasets so they're easier to work with Convert data types and manipulate text strings Apply functions to scale data manipulations Aggregate, transform, and filter large datasets with groupby Leverage Pandas' advanced date and time capabilities Fit linear models using statsmodels and scikit-learn libraries Use generalized linear modeling to fit models with different response variables Compare multiple models to select the "best" Regularize to overcome overfitting and improve performance Use clustering in unsupervised machine learning
