Now that software development is shifting primarily toward mobile and cloud computing, the venerable C++ programming language is returning to the dominant position it held during the object-oriented boom of the 1990s. In this O'Reilly report, you'll learn why C++ is once again the preferred choice across several diverse industries, after taking a backseat to Java during the 2000s. C++ is

Cloud applications have a unique set of characteristics. They run on commodity hardware, provide services to untrusted users, and deal with unpredictable workloads. These factors impose a range of problems that you, as a designer or developer, need to resolve. Your applications must be resilient so that they can recover from failures, secure to protect services from malicious attacks, an

To realize the full benefits of SRE, organizations need well-thoughtout reliability targets known as service level objectives (SLOs) that are measured by service level indicators (SLIs), a quantitative measure of an aspect of the service. As detailed in the following section, the measurable goals set forth in an organization's SLOs eliminate the conflicts inherent in change management an

If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics. Once you get the math out of the way, the Bayesian fundamentals will become clearer and you'll begin to apply these techniques

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 collection of the most useful tools, integ

JavaScript has come a long way. It may have seemed like a "toy language" at first, but it has evolved into the powerful dominant scripting language of the Web. JavaScript is now found not only in the browser, but on the server, and it's even moving into the world of hardware. Staying on top of the latest methodologies, tools, and techniques is critical for any JavaScript developer, wheth

Even as spending on digital transformation continues to skyrocket, mainframes nevertheless have major advantages for global enterprises. These systems still process huge amounts of information and allow for highly secure transactions. In this practical book, author Tom Taulli shows software developers how to pursue a hybrid approach by integrating traditional mainframes and applications
