Before PowerShell, I spent the first third of my career as an IT Pro pointing and clicking in the GUI and I decided to write this book to save IT Pros from themselves who are reluctant to learn PowerShell. Instead of a book that just covers topics with fictitious scenarios, this book is more of a condensed version targeting the specific topics that I’ve found an IT Pro needs to know initially to be successful with PowerShell in a real world production environment. It’s a collection of what I wish someone would have told me when I started learning PowerShell along with the tips, tricks, and best practices that I've learned while using PowerShell during the past 10 years. This book focuses on PowerShell version 5.1 in a Microsoft Active Directory domain environment running on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. All currently supported versions of Windows and previous versions of PowerShell beginning with PowerShell version 1.0 are briefly mentioned in this book.

Design patterns and architectures for building production quality applications using functional programming, with examples in Haskell and other FP languages. Functional Design and Architecture is a pioneering guide to software engineering using Haskell and other functional languages. In it, you’ll discover Functional Declarative Design and other design principles perfect for working in Haskell, PureScript, F#, and Scala. Functional programming offers a powerful alternative to object-oriented programming that helps tackle the complexities of large-scale software. Entrenched design patterns and architectural principles made for OOP are poorly suited for creating large-scale functional applications. This book lays out new methodologies, principles, and architectures optimized for high-level software design using functional languages. Inside, you’ll find cutting-edge functional design principles and practices for every stage of application development, from architecting your application through to running simple and maintainable tests. There’s no abstract theory—you’ll learn by building exciting sample applications, including an application for controlling a spaceship and a full-fledged backend framework.

Volume 2 applies the linear algebra concepts presented in Volume 1 to optimization problems which frequently occur throughout Machine Learning. This book blends theory with practice by not only carefully discussing the mathematical under pinnings of each optimization technique but by applying these techniques to linear programming, support vector machines (SVM), principal component analysis (PCA), and ridge regression. Volume 2 begins by discussing preliminary concepts of optimization theory such as metric spaces, derivatives, and the Lagrange multiplier technique for finding extrema of real valued functions. The focus then shifts to the special case of optimizing a linear function over a region determined by affine constraints, namely linear programming. Highlights include careful derivations and applications of the simplex algorithm, the dual-simplex algorithm, and the primal-dual algorithm. The theoretical heart of this book is the mathematically rigorous presentation of various nonlinear optimization methods, including but not limited to gradient decent, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, Lagrangian duality, alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), and the kernel method. These methods are carefully applied to hard margin SVM, soft margin SVM, kernel PCA, ridge regression, lasso regression, and elastic-net regression. Matlab programs implementing these methods are included.

Software testing can be regarded as an art, a craft, and a science. The practical, step-by-step approach presented in this book provides a bridge between these different viewpoints. A single worked example runs throughout, with consistent use of test automation. Each testing technique is introduced in the context of this example, helping students see its strengths and weaknesses. The technique is then explained in more detail, providing a deeper understanding of underlying principles. Finally the limitations of each technique are demonstrated by inserting faults, giving learners concrete examples of when each technique succeeds or fails in finding faults. Coverage includes black-box testing, white-box testing, random testing, unit testing, object-oriented testing, and application testing. The authors also emphasise the process of applying the techniques, covering the steps of analysis, test design, test implementation, and interpretation of results. The book's web site has programming exercises and Java source code for all examples.

In this project, we will be conducting a comprehensive analysis, prediction, and forecasting of cryptocurrency prices using machine learning with Python. The dataset we will be working with contains historical cryptocurrency price data, and our main objective is to build models that can accurately predict future price movements and daily returns. The first step of the project involves exploring the dataset to gain insights into the structure and contents of the data. We will examine the columns, data types, and any missing values present. After that, we will preprocess the data, handling any missing values and converting data types as needed. This will ensure that our data is clean and ready for analysis. Next, we will proceed with visualizing the dataset to understand the trends and patterns in cryptocurrency prices over time. We will create line plots, box plot, violin plot, and other visualizations to study price movements, trading volumes, and volatility across different cryptocurrencies. As part of our Machine Learning efforts, we will also develop models for predicting daily returns of cryptocurrencies. Daily returns are essential indicators for investors and traders, as they reflect the percentage change in price from one day to the next.
