The Complete Guide to Qwik is a 350+ page, comprehensive book, with a detailed path designed for anyone to master this framework. Packed with practical examples and analyzing details that cover exactly how Qwik works, you will be able to create your own large-scale instant application with Qwik. The problem with modern frameworks is that as the complexity of the application increases the loading speed degrades. Therefore, having underperforming applications, the user experience is also unsatisfactory. The developers themselves will be slowed down by a framework that doesn't help them in their day-to-day work. New Mental Model: Qwik has a completely new design and mental model approach. This new paradigm allows you to create a successful application for your domain that you otherwise would not be able to have. Qwik is unique compared to other frameworks. This framework can send the browser a static page consisting only of HTML and CSS and 1KB of jаvascript. This almost magically makes the application interactive immediately upon startup. However, it’s worth delving a little deeper into this because, behind every magic trick, there’s a trick. With modern connections, a page containing HTML and CSS is undoubtedly efficient and speedy. It would be the ideal situation, but unfortunately, interactivity is needed, which requires jаvascript.

The Theory and Practice of Intelligent Algorithms discusses the latest achievements of the computation time analysis theory and practical applications of intelligent algorithms. In five chapters, the book covers (1) New methods of intelligent algorithm computation time analysis; (2)Application of intelligent algorithms in computer vision; (3) Application of intelligent algorithms in logistics scheduling; (4) Application of intelligent algorithms in software testing; and (5) Application of intelligent algorithm in multi-objective optimization. Intelligent algorithms are the algorithmic forms of computational intelligence methods. These algorithms are the common technical methods used by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in intelligent perception, intelligent decision-making, and intelligent planning. At this stage, intelligent algorithms are usually manifested as evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, Machine Learning, other algorithms, and their combinations. Existing literature on intelligent algorithms focuses on theories, methods, and simulation experiments, leaving practical applications underexplored, especially the application of cutting-edge research in Artificial Intelligence. This book aims to serve as a reference book with practical cases for practitioners of intelligent algorithms based on cutting-edge research results.

The third edition of this trusted guide demonstrates the practical advantages of test-driven development (TDD) with Python and describes how to develop a real web application. You'll learn how to write and run tests before building each part of your app and then develop the minimum amount of code required to pass those tests. In the process, author Harry Percival teaches software and web developers the basics of Django, Selenium, Git, jаvascript, and Mock libraries, along with current web development techniques. This book—updated for Python 3.11 and Django 4—clearly demonstrates how TDD encourages simple designs and inspires confidence. My main aim is to impart a methodology — a way of doing web development, which I think makes for better web apps and happier developers. There’s not much point in a book that just covers material you could find by Googling, so this book isn’t a guide to Python syntax, or a tutorial on web development per se. Instead, I hope to teach you how to use TDD to get more reliably to our shared, holy goal: clean code that works.

API Design for C++, Second Edition provides a comprehensive discussion of Application Programming Interface (API) development, from initial design through implementation, testing, documentation, release, versioning, maintenance, and deprecation. It is the only book that teaches the strategies of C++ API development, including interface design, versioning, scripting, and plug-in extensibility. Drawing from the author's experience on large scale, collaborative software projects, the text offers practical techniques of API design that produce robust code for the long-term. It presents patterns and practices that provide real value to individual developers as well as organizations. The Second Edition includes all new material fully updated for the latest versions of C++, including a new chapter on concurrency and multithreading, as well as a new chapter discussing how Objective C++ and C++ code can co-exist and how a C++ API can be accessed from Swift programs. Writing large applications in C++ is a complex and tricky business. However, designing reusable C++ interfaces that are robust, stable, easy to use, and durable is even more difficult. The best way to succeed in this endeavor is to adhere to the tenets of good API design. An API presents a logical interface to a software component and hides the internal details required to implement that component. It offers a high-level abstraction for a module and promotes code reuse by allowing multiple applications to share the same functionality. Modern software development has become highly dependent upon APIs, from low-level application frameworks to data format APIs and graphical user interface (GUI) frameworks.

This book teaches you how to evaluate a distributed system from the perspective of immutable objects. You will understand the problems in existing designs, know how to make small modifications to correct those problems, and learn to apply the principles of immutable architecture to your tools. Most software components focus on the state of objects. They store the current state of a row in a relational database. They track changes to state over time, making several basic assumptions: there is a single latest version of each object, the state of an object changes sequentially, and a system of record exists. This is a challenge when it comes to building distributed systems. Whether dealing with autonomous microservices or disconnected mobile apps, many of the problems we try to solve come down to synchronizing an ever-changing state between isolated components. Distributed systems would be a lot easier to build if objects could not change. For software architects and senior developers. It contains examples in SQL and languages such as jаvascript and C#. Past experience with distributed computing, data modeling, or business analysis is helpful.
