This comprehensive book is primarily intended for researchers, computer vision specialists, and high-performance computing specialists who are interested in parallelizing computer vision techniques for the sake of accelerating the run-time of computer vision methods. This book covers different penalization methods on different parallel architectures such as multi-core CPUs and GPUs. It is also a valuable reference resource for researchers at all levels (e.g., undergraduate and postgraduate) who are seeking real-life examples of speeding up the computer vision methods’ run-time. Computer vision is one field that is considered compute-intensive. This is because the input can be an image or a video. As the input is of large size, then the computing/processing time is huge as well. In addition, Deep Learning methods are heavily used in the field of computer vision. Thus, utilizing the parallel architecture for improving the runtime of the computer vision methods is of great interest and benefit.

Written for developers who need to create user-facing Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs), Business-Friendly DSLs unlocks clear and practical methods to create DSLs with easy-to-use interfaces. In this book, we’re going to explore how to develop software tools for the business experts that allow them to write down their business knowledge in a way that’s understandable for them. Moreover, the business knowledge written down that way will be automatically translated into working software, without requiring a software developer for every change. This puts the business experts, rather than the software developers, at the center of software development. Written for developers who need to create user-facing DSLs, Business-Friendly DSLs unlocks clear and practical methods to create DSLs with easy-to-use interfaces. Author Meinte Boersma lays out an iterative process for creating languages accessible to domain experts such as operations specialists, data analysts, and financial experts. You'll start with an overview of software language engineering before diving into the unique projectional editing paradigm that makes it easy to produce DSLs for business.

Master the geometry behind CAD, game engines, GIS, and more! This hands-on book teaches you the math behind the tools and libraries you use to create simulations, 3D prints, and other models of the physical world. Geometry for Programmers reveals important geometry concepts you need to write more efficient code. It’s full of practical guidance that’s relevant to your daily work as a developer. There are no unnecessary theory or formal proofs. Instead, you’ll learn how geometry can help you optimize your code for boosts to performance, and real reductions in your cloud services bill. You don’t have to be good at math to enjoy it. We will delegate all the non-trivial math to SymPy – a Python library that does your math for you. You don’t have to have a good memory either, the book is supposed to help you build the proper intuition, not just pack your head with terms and definitions. There are no theorems or proofs, but there are Python snippets with formulas in them. The book addresses geometry but it speaks in the programmer’s language.

Dask is a free and open source library for parallel computing in Python that helps you scale your Data Science and Machine Learning workflows. With this quick but thorough resource, data scientists and Python programmers will learn how Dask provides APIs that make it easy to parallelize PyData libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn. Dask is a framework for parallelized computing with Python that scales from multiple cores on one machine to data centers with thousands of machines. It has both low-level task APIs and higher-level data-focused APIs. The low-level task APIs power Dask’s integration with a wide variety of Python libraries. Having public APIs has allowed an ecosystem of tools to grow around Dask for various use cases. Why Do You Need Dask? Dask simplifies scaling analytics and ML code written in Python, allowing you to handle larger and more complex data and problems. Dask aims to fill the space where your existing tools, like pandas DataFrames, or your sci-kit machine learning pipelines start to become too slow (or do not succeed).

This book is a follow-up on Liran Tal's Essential Node.js Security for Express web applications and teaches you hands-on practical use of HTTP security headers as browser security controls to help secure web applications. 18 Lessons, 8 Quizzes, 30 Code Snippets, and 19 Illustrations to help you learn. If you have a development environment set with Node.js, Git, npm, and working Internet connectivity, you’re all set to get started! Some exercises require work with a valid HTTPS-enabled website, for which we defer to Heroku as the web hosting platform due to its ease of use and supporting simultaneously both HTTP and HTTPS web hosting. A jаvascript and Node.js development environment: This book uses the Express web application framework for Node.js to create web applications and set headers using open source modules from the npm ecosystem. It is expected that you have a working development environment with a supported Node.js version (LTS), along with the npm command-line utility. You’ll also need Git to clone example repositories used along with the exercises if you wish to practice locally.

Hands-on and abundant with source code for a practical guide to Securing Node.js web applications. This book is intended to be a hands-on thorough guide for securing web applications based on Node.js and the Express web application framework. Many of the concepts, tools and practices in this book are primarily based on open source libraries and the author leverages these projects and highlights them. The main objective of the book is to equip the reader with practical solutions to real world problems, and so this book is heavily saturated with source code examples as well as a high level description of the risks involved with any security topic, and the practical solution to prevent or mitigate it.

Use Akka to solve the big problems of distributed systems—from multithreading and concurrency, to handling scalability and failure. But support for concurrency in most programming languages, especially on the JVM, has hardly changed. Although the implementation details of concurrency APIs have definitely improved, you still have to work with low-level constructs like threads and locks, or fibers. Akka gives you a single abstraction to deal with concurrency and scalability--the Actor Model, which is coherent semantics that let you work on your business logic without worrying about whether your program needs to run on a thousand servers or just one. Akka is a toolkit of libraries that make it easy to implement distributed applications in Scala and Java.

Did you know that with PWAs you can create Web Apps that deliver a user experience similar to native apps? Did you know that with the React tooling most of the work to create them is almost done? I will explain how to create PWAs with the React tooling and describe what the generated code does in order you can safely iterate over it. In this book we are going to implement a Progressive Web App (PWA) using a step-by-step approach. This learning experience starts with an already crafted React application called Task List, created using the create-react-app tool with the cra-template-pwa template, which gives us a good starting point for building a progressive web app. We will go into the details about how to make the web app installable and after that how to improve the user experience by adding offline support to the web app. This book requires prior knowledge of jаvascript and React.
