The business of the future - your business - will be a "thinking" business, or what IBM calls a cognitive business. A cognitive business uses its data assets to gain competitive advantage. The technology that helps you do all the things you want to do with your data assets is called information technology (IT). One of the main components of busines

One viable option for organizations looking to harness massive amounts of data is the data lake, a single repository for storing all the raw data, both structured and unstructured, that floods into the company. But that isn't the end of the story. The key to making a data lake work is data governance, using metadata to provide valuable context thro

Artificial intelligence (AI) robots can learn from their experiences, make decisions in real time, understand natural language and human gestures, and utilize computer vision to perceive and comprehend their environments. Beginning with the rudimentary concepts of AI, AI Robotics: Ethics, Algorithms, and Technology of Artificial Intelligence-Powere

Modern business runs on Java. It's the programming language of choice for large-scale applications, whether they're running in the cloud or in a private data center. Despite being nearly 30 years old, Java remains one of the most widely used programming languages in the world thanks to its versatility, reliability, and stability. Java is also far m

In 2012, early cloud pioneer Heroku developed the Twelve Factor App, a set of rules and guidelines for helping organizations build cloud-native applications. It served as an excellent starting point, but as technology inevitably marched forward, some areas needed revisiting. To accommodate current best practices, this practical book expands on the

The Internet's exponential growth is driven by the development and emergence of advanced technologies, attended by a flood of new services. The maturity of these technologies is a decisive factor in the progress of the entire telecom industry, leading to a profound transformation of computer networks from traditional, hardware-centric functions to

Jeremy Keith begins by noting that the title Resilient Web Design might suggest a handbook for building robust websites, but clarifies that it is not a handbook - it is more like a history book. The text observes that in the world of web design, attention is mostly focused on the present. When designers look beyond the moment, it is usually to imag

Information theory deals with mathematical laws that govern the flow, representation and transmission of information, just as the field of physics concerns laws that govern the behavior of the physical universe. The foundation was made in the context of communication while characterizing the fundamental limits of communication and offering codes (s

Every modern technology-driven organization understands data is one of its most valuable assets. It's no surprise, then, that the protection of that data has become an increasing concern. This concern is made much more complex, though, because organizations no longer store all their data in a single location. With the advent of modern cloud - virtu
