Introduction to Python Programming and Data Structures focuses on the fundamentals first to help learners learn problem solving and programming in a broad context. It introduces basic programming concepts and techniques on selections, loops, and functions, before writing custom classes. Step-by-step coverage demonstrates the use of Python to solve problems. Exercises and problems with varying levels of difficulty cover interesting application areas. The best way to learn programming is by practicing, and this introduction offers many opportunities to practice creating efficient, elegant code. The 3rd Edition has new data structures topics and UpToDate content, examples and exercises that keep pace with recent trends. This book assumes that you are a new programmer with no prior knowledge of programming. So what are the benefits of learning programming using Python? Python is easy to learn and fun to program. Python code is simple, short, readable, intuitive, and powerful, and thus it is effective for introducing computing and problem solving to beginners. The best way to teach programming is by example, and the only way to learn to program is by doing. Basic concepts are explained by examples and many exercises with various levels of difficulty are provided for students to practice what they learn. Our goal is to produce a text that teaches problem-solving and programming in a broad context using a wide variety of interesting examples and exercises.

Visualizing Surveys in R is about creating static, print quality figures from survey data using R. The focus is not, for example, on statistical analysis of survey data, but rather on giving concrete solutions for typical problems in visualizing survey data. While there are many excellent books on data visualization, surveys and R, the aim of this book is to bring these topics together, and offer practical instructions for visualizing surveys in R. The book is intended for researchers who regularly use surveys and are interested in learning how to seize the vast possibilities and the flexibility of R in survey analysis and visualizations. The book is also valuable for psychologists, marketeers, HR personnel, managers, and other professionals who wish to standardize and automate the process for visualizing survey data. Finally, the book is suitable as a course textbook, either more widely on survey studies, or more strictly on visualizing survey data in R.

Книга посвящена современным практикам и технологиям системного админи­стрирования. Приведены основные сведения о системах, архитектурах, вычисли­тельных средах, хранилищах, сетях. Рассмотрены методы и наборы инструментов сисадмина, вопросы контроля версий, тестирования, документирования и пред­ставления информации. Описана сборка системы, разработка сценариев, управле­ние инфраструктурой и обеспечение ее безопасности. Рассмотрен мониторинг системы, программного обеспечения и работы сисад­мина. Особое внимание уделено масштабированию системы, управлению мощно­стями, созданию надежной дежурной службы, управлению инцидентами и плани­рованию системы предупреждений. В последнее десятилетие понятие DevOps ошибочно использовалось для описания современного системного администрирования, но на самом деле это лишь один из множества новых подходов, которые мы должны внедрять, чтобы преуспевать в постоянно меняющейся среде. Современное системное администрирование — нечто большее, чем отдельная практика. Его нельзя охарактеризовать с помощью какого-то одного инструмента или учета индивидуальных вкладов участников. Хотя кому-то могло показаться, что в нашей профессии наконец-то появилась пу­теводная звезда под названием DevOps. Эта книга представляет собой карту, на кото­рой отмечены многочисленные отправные точки и пути, которые помогают овла­деть современным системным администрированием, и автор лично проверил многие из них. В отношении инженеров DevOps предполагается, что они должны владеть как минимум одним современным языком программирования и обладать эксперт­ными знаниями в области непрерывной интеграции и развертывания. Даже если вы не разрабатываете приложения, овладение навыками разработки про­грамм для оболочки или изучение еще одного языка программирования улучшит взаимодействие в команде и повысит производительность ее работы. Bash и PowerShell - подходящий выбор для большинства сред. Эти оболочки имеются в текущих версиях Linux и Windows, они всегда под рукой. Такие языки, как Python, C#, Ruby и Go, обла­дают своими преимуществами. Для системных администраторов, инженеров службы поддержки и других ИТ-специалистов.

This book teaches readers to integrate data analysis techniques into humanities research practices using the R programming language. Methods for general-purpose visualization and analysis are introduced first, followed by domain-specific techniques for working with networks, text, geospatial data, temporal data, and images. The book is designed to be a bridge between quantitative and qualitative methods, individual and collaborative work, and the humanities and social sciences. The second edition of the text is a significant revision, with almost every aspect of the text rewritten in some way. The most notable difference is the incorporation of new R packages such as ggplot2 and dplyr that center broad data-science concepts. This 2nd edition of Humanities Data with R does not presuppose background programming experience. Early chapters take readers from R set-up to exploratory data analysis, with one chapter dedicated to each stage of the data-science pipeline (data collection, visualization, manipulation, and relational joins). Following this, text analysis, networks, temporal data, geospatial data, and image analysis each have a dedicated chapter. These are grounded in examples to move readers beyond the intimidation of adding new tools to their research. The final section of the book extends the core material with additional computer science techniques for processing large datasets.

This textbook offers an introduction to topics in algorithms and programming with Python. It is originally intended for mathematical students not sufficiently aware about these Computer Science fields seeking a deeper understanding. It addresses fundamental questions on how to analyze the performance of an algorithm and equips readers with the skills to implement them using Python. The textbook is organized in two parts. Part I introduces Python Programming offering a solid foundation to Python essentials. Topics covered include first steps in Python programming, programs, functions and recursion, data structures. Part II shifts focus to Algorithms and covers topics such as algorithm performance, recursion, the sorting problem, trees as data structures, etc. Writing programs is a hard task that involves many different skills that are not necessarily part of the expertise acquired by undergraduate and even graduate students in scientific fields other than computer science. Here we will focus on: algorithmic, algorithmic analysis and programming (not necessarily in that precise order). Applications and programming considerations will be based on the Python programming language. Python is freely available on every mainstream platform and widely used. Python is a multi-paradigm high-level language. It is used by many people over the world, and scientists in many fields; it is not intended to computerists only. It is a very general-purpose programming language provided with many extensions allowing to solve lots of very different problems. This is why we chose it.

Technical debt is an often-overlooked problem that the software industry needs to take more seriously. All organizations are impacted by it, most wish that they had less of it, but need help in understanding the nature of the beast. This book aims to clear up any misconceptions and show you how to implement a sound technical debt management program to suit your company’s needs. You’ll learn the greatest challenge in solving the technical debt dilemma is not to find solutions to it, but rather to find solutions to the human and organizational issues that lead to that debt. For example, convincing senior stakeholders of the importance of addressing technical debt, getting stakeholders to acknowledge how their actions lead to unintentional debt, and enabling teams to prioritize technical debt over short-term goals. Therefore, this book is divided into three parts: defining technical debt, understanding technical debt, and tackling technical debt. It begins by explaining why technical debt should not be considered a technical problem, but rather a problem of how trade-off decisions are made. You’ll then examine how making decisions using the affect heuristic, more commonly known as a “gut feeling,” can lead to unnecessary technical debt, followed by some techniques for combating your vulnerability to this trap. This book is aimed at people in software teams, both those on projects, who are sometimes making decisions that result in technical debt, as well as those in support of DevOps, who must deal with the consequences of that debt. However, the book is not intended to be used to address that debt directly. Such an approach will not lead to any lasting change. Instead, this book will help you understand technical debt’s underlying causes and then enable you to advocate to stakeholders how you can address those causes in a planned intervention aimed at producing lasting improvement. This book is also aimed at managers and business stakeholders, who wish to understand why software development takes so long and costs so much.
