Learn how to develop and implement a sustainable and scalable automation strategy. Automation can be a powerful tool to streamline and scale a business effectively. By automating repetitive tasks, businesses can save time, reduce errors, and improve overall efficiency, allowing them to focus on more strategic and value-added activities. This book is an essential guide to automation. It highlights the importance of automation and provides guidance on how to implement it effectively. The book will help you learn how to set clear and achievable automation goals that align with your overall business strategy. It will also help you gain insights into selecting the right automation tools and technologies for your specific needs. Additionally, the book will walk you through the process of creating a sustainable and scalable automation strategy. Automation tools are simpler and more specific in nature. They are in general a program that run locally on one computer and which can perform specific automation tasks. As such, it is common to have many automation tools, and it is not necessarily a bad thing either. Using the correct tool for the correct task is often a good thing. Automation tools are often limited in the sense that they do not provide automation as-a-service, APIs, or GUIs. Furthermore, often these tools are accessed via command line interfaces and are executed by humans on a need-to-basis.

This book shows how dbt is used to build data transformation pipelines that enable dependency management and allow for version control and automated testing. It explains how dbt is revolutionizing data transformation and the advantages that a command-line tool like dbt provides over and above the use of database stored procedures and other ETL and ELT tools that handle data transformations. At its simplest definition, dbt (or data build tool) is an open source data transformation tool commonly used for modeling data in data warehouses. It enables data professionals comfortable writing SQL to transform data in their warehouses more effectively. At a more granular level, it is a tool that has a development framework that combines modular SQL with software engineering best practices to create a better, faster, and more reliable data transformation experience. Modular SQL refers to the practice of breaking down SQL code into smaller, reusable chunks so that it can be more easily maintained, tested, and reused. Other best practices that dbt lends itself well to include version control, documentation, DevOps, and so on. For current and aspiring data professionals, including architects, developers, analysts, engineers, data scientists, and consultants who are beginning the journey of using dbt as part of their data pipeline’s transformation layer.

Linux присутствует повсюду. Она используется в Интернете в качестве основной операционной системы для серверов Web, на ней работают космические корабли, она является операционной системой для самых быстрых суперкомпьютеров в мире, она используется в "умных" телевизорах и мобильных устройствах. Почему? Потому что она сверхстабильна, молниеносна и совершенно бесплатна. Однако Linux - это не просто бесплатная операционная система. Ее уникальная конфигурация позволяет пользователю настраивать и персонализировать ОС по своему усмотрению. Пользователь Linux может менять внешний вид своей операционной системы от одного дня к другому, устанавливать тысячи свободно распространяемых приложений и программ и возвращать контроль над своим компьютером. Linux - это свобода. Свобода от "замкнутого сада" других ограничивающих операционных систем, свобода выбора того, что вы хотите видеть на своем компьютере, свобода изменять его и использовать по своему усмотрению.

Nearly all our safety data collection and reporting systems are backwardlooking: incident reports; dashboards; compliance monitoring systems; and so on. This book shows how we can use safety data in a forward-looking, predictive sense. Predictive Safety Analytics: Reducing Risk through Modeling and Machine Learning contains real use cases where organizations have reduced incidents by employing predictive analytics to foresee and mitigate future risks. It discusses how Predictive Safety Analytics is an opportunity to break through the plateau problem where safety rate improvements have stagnated in many organizations. The book presents how the use of data, coupled with advanced analytical techniques, including machine learning, has become a proven and successful innovation. Emphasis is placed on how the book can “meet you where you are” by illuminating a path to get there, starting with simple data the organization likely already has. Highlights of the book are the real examples and case studies that will assist in generating thoughts and ideas for what might work for individual readers and how they can adapt the information to their particular situations. Data scientists speak of their workflow in terms of a pipeline. In fact, many modern software tools for data science build upon this concept to manage the tasks associated with building models. There is a myriad of ways pipelines are put forth, and no one scheme rules them all. Python is a broad programming language with strengths in manipulating data. A large variety of “libraries” are available that are purpose-driven, such as implementing a specific Machine Learning algorithm or a collection of algorithms.

This is a book on applying Microsoft SQL Server aggregate, analytical, and ranking functions across various industries for the purpose of statistical, reporting, analytical, and historical performance analysis using a series of built-in SQL Server functions affectionately known as the window functions! No, not window functions like the ones used in the C# or other Microsoft Windows application programming. They are called window functions because they implement windows into the data set generated by a query. These windows allow you to control where the functions are applied in the data by creating partitions in the query data set. “What’s a partition?” you might ask. This is a key concept you need to understand to get the most out of this book. Suppose you have a data set that has six rows for product category A and six rows for product category B. Each row has a column that stores sales values that you wish to analyze. The data set can be divided into two sections, one for each product category. These are the partitions that the window functions use. For intermediate to advanced SQL Server developers and data architects.

Most of the analytics tools available focus on assessing customer clicks, but have you ever thought about how little we know about what happens in between clicks? In this book we present methods, tools, and applications so that you can start uncovering the value of multiple interaction data available when people interact with computing systems. Interaction logs are present in the most diverse platforms, from mainframes to mobile devices. Interaction data analytics gained visibility with the advent of e-commerce in the late 90s. Analytics in e-commerce aims at analyzing the most viewed/bought products, the origin of accesses, or even understanding why users gave up on buying something. These goals promoted the development of multiple tools in the area. However, when we analyze these tools considering detailed interaction data beyond click streams –with user experience, accessibility, and usability in mind–, few tools allow evaluators to get details about how a given interaction occurred. This book aims at supporting software engineers, software architects, developers, designers, HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) practitioners, and Data Scientists to consider nuances and particular characteristics of interaction logs, surpassing challenges, and gaining insights from these interaction traces as much as possible, always having accessibility and usability in mind.
