This book provides practitioners with structured methods for transforming geospatial data into the useful information they need to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. It spotlights the importance of location for human experience in the everyday world and introduces spatial thinking as a foundation and the location mindset as a foundational perspective. The book starts by showing how geospatial analysis is part of a more general data-to-information refinement process that requires the right mindset, toolset, and skillset to achieve. The book then presents structured principles and practices to help geospatial analysts--whether in government or industry--improve their observational, analytical, and communication techniques. These techniques are part of an original framework for interpreting geospatial data and information: the Observe, Analyze, Communicate (OAC) Framework. The OAC framework helps practitioners at all levels break down the basic steps of their day-to-day practice and learn valuable tradecraft that they can employ during each step. You'll learn how to center location as a foundational perspective in everyday life; use unique geospatial observation, analysis, and communication techniques; and know how to account for the role of uncertainty in assessment and production processes -- including utilizing special techniques to effectively communicate levels of certainty and uncertainty to your audience.

Understanding the significance of data analytics is paramount for digital transformation but in many organizations they are separate units without fully aligned goals. As organizations are applying digital transformations to be adaptive and agile in a competitive environment, data analytics can play a critical role in their success. This book explores the crossroads between them and how to leverage their connection for improved business outcomes. The need to collaborate and share data is becoming an integral part of digital transformation. This not only creates new opportunities but also requires well-considered and continuously assessed decision-making as competitiveness is at stake. This book details approaches, concepts, and frameworks, as well as actionable insights and good practices, including combined data management and agile concepts. Volumes of data are growing at an unprecedented speed, driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) and unstructured data (e.g. social media content), as well as additional data generated by transforming into digital organizations. This feeds back into data analytics as well as Data Science, requiring even more mature data management and governance to achieve enriched insights. In addition, the need to collaborate and share data is becoming an integral part of digital transformations. This not only creates new opportunities but also requires well-considered and continuously assessed decision-making as competitiveness is at stake.

This book explains how to implement a data lake strategy, covering the technical and business challenges architects commonly face. It also illustrates how and why client requirements should drive architectural decisions. Drawing upon a specific case from his own experience, author Nayanjyoti Paul begins with the consideration from which all subsequent decisions should flow: what does your customer need? He also describes the importance of identifying key stakeholders and the key points to focus on when starting a new project. Next, he takes you through the business and technical requirement-gathering process, and how to translate customer expectations into tangible technical goals. From there, you’ll gain insight into the security model that will allow you to establish security and legal guardrails, as well as different aspects of security from the end user’s perspective. You’ll learn which organizational roles need to be onboarded into the data lake, their responsibilities, the services they need access to, and how the hierarchy of escalations should work. Subsequent chapters explore how to divide your data lakes into zones, organize data for security and access, manage data sensitivity, and techniques used for data obfuscation. Audit and logging capabilities in the data lake are also covered before a deep dive into designing data lakes to handle multiple kinds and file formats and access patterns. For Data Scientists and Architects, Machine Learning Engineers, and Software Engineers.

The first in a new series exploring the basics of Raspberry Pi Operating System (OS) administration, this volume is a compendium of easy-to-use and essential system administration for the novice user of the Raspberry Pi OS. The overriding idea behind the system administration of a modern, 21st-century Linux system such as the Raspberry Pi OS is the use of systemd to ensure that the Linux kernel works efficiently and effectively to provide the three foundation stones of computer operation and management: computer system concurrency, virtualization, and secure persistence. Exercises are included throughout to reinforce the readers’ learning goals with solutions and example code provided on the accompanying GitHub site. This book is a compendium of easy-to-use and essential Raspberry Pi OS system administration tasks for the beginner. The Raspberry Pi OS is derived from the Debian branch of Linux, and as of this writing, Debian Bullseye was the most current version of that operating system. To present the system administration topics and commands here, I have selected some very basic stuff, and a few more advanced concepts, topics, commands, and details that might not appear in a more complete system administration book.

This Linux training course, “Using and Administering Linux – Zero to SysAdmin,” is significantly different from other courses. It consists of three volumes. Each of these three volumes is closely connected, and they build upon each other. This Linux training course differs from others because it is a complete self-study course. You should start at the beginning of Volume 1 and read the text, perform all of the experiments, and do all of the chapter exercises through to the end of Volume 3. If you do this, even if you are starting from zero knowledge about Linux, you can learn the tasks necessary to becoming a Linux system administrator, a SysAdmin. These course materials can also be used as reference materials. I have used my previous course materials for reference for many years, and they have been very useful in that role. I have kept this as one of my goals in this set of materials. If you want to learn to be an advanced Linux user and even a SysAdmin, this course is for you. Most SysAdmins have an extremely high level of curiosity and a deep-seated need to learn Linux system administration.
