The demand for professionals with Docker skills who can develop cloud-native microservices applications is rising. Docker Deep Dive: 2024 Edition is up-to-date with all the latest trends and technologies in the Docker ecosystem, including Docker Scout, Docker Init, Docker Debug, and Wasm containers. It provides comprehensive explanations of core concepts and offers step-by-step guidance on creating and managing containerized applications in the real world – from source code to executing in the cloud. If you are looking for a comprehensive resource to help you master Docker and containers in the real world, this book is for you. It also gives you valuable knowledge, skills, insights, and tips to help you confidently navigate the container and cloud-native ecosystems. Docker is here, and it’s changed the world. If you want the best jobs working with the best technologies, you need to know Docker and containers. They’re even central to Kubernetes, and a strong Docker skill set will help you learn Kubernetes. Docker and containers are also well-positioned for emerging cloud technologies such as WebAssembly and AI workloads. WebAssembly (Wasm) is a modern binary instruction set that builds applications that are smaller, faster, more secure, and more portable than containers. You write your app in your favorite language and compile it as a Wasm binary, and it’ll run anywhere you have a Wasm runtime. However, Wasm apps have many limitations, and we’re still developing many of the standards. As a result, containers remain the dominant model for cloud-native applications.

Edge Intelligence: Deep Learning-enabled edge computing is a book that targets researchers and practitioners who are interested in applying intelligence without compromising data privacy. The book reveals the existing edge-AI techniques and forecasts future edge-AI integration methods. The book delves into edge computing architectures after describing relevant basic technologies such as IoT, cloud computing, and other security-related architectures. The book starts with an explanation of all relevant basic technologies. It offers a smooth transition from the basics to insightful practical sessions for practitioners. The ideas of providing innovative ideas and applications in the later part of the book can enthuse researchers and developers to engage themselves in innovating newer products with the application of Edge Intelligence. Part of IOP Series in Next Generation Computing. Edge intelligence is deployed in two broad ways: (i) machine learning-based intelligence; and (ii) deep learning-based intelligence. Deep Learning-based edge intelligence: Deep Learning, in general, is a sub-field of Machine Learning that mimics the learning processes of humans. Our human brains learn different data based on several histories of information. This involves computationally powerful computers or computing devices to learn a large volume of data that arises from data-intensive applications, such as IoT-enabled applications. In recent years, the majority of real-world applications have included Deep Learning algorithms on edge nodes, considering the performance efficiency and learning accuracy with respect to the input regional data. The most widely applied Deep Learning algorithms are convolutional neural networks (CNNs), image segmentation algorithms, generative adversarial networks (GANs), reinforcement learning (RL), and transformers. The application of Deep Learning algorithms on edge-level nodes increases privacy and avoids latency while considering a large chunk of data in an automated fashion.

Over the past two decades, Python has become the de facto standard language of Data Science both in industry and astronomy (with the exception of simulations and other extreme scale computing problems). This course text is a full introduction to programming in Python with an explicit focus on astrophysical applications. The book covers the fundamentals of Python, including the native data types and operations, and how the language, interpreter, and operating system work together. Leaning heavily on standard packages used in astronomy, the book covers the installation and basic structure of the language and libraries; script writing, conditional statements, loops, and other code structures that allow for complex outcome management; the creation and use of functions and classes within Python; the creation of packages and the methods for re-using, importing, and otherwise standardizing code; and plotting. Finally, the book contains several higher level chapters that carry students from the beginner stage of programming into the intermediate. This book will cover the native data types and operations, and how the language, interpreter, and operating system work together to carry out commands. The book will lean heavily on standard packages (libraries of functions and classes) used in our field, including Numpy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Astropy. After discussing the installation and basic structure of the language and libraries, the text will move into a discussion of script writing, conditional statements, loops, and other code structures that allow for complex outcome management. The text will then discuss the creation and use of functions and classes within Python, which enables unit-testing and more robust and flexible code creation, and use these tools in a Data Science context on an astronomical survey.

Build your own video chat application—but that’s just the beginning. With WebRTC, you’ll create real-time applications to stream any kind of user media and data directly from one browser to another, all built on familiar HTML, CSS, and jаvascript. Power real-time activities like text-based chats, secure peer-to-peer file transfers, collaborative brainstorming sessions—even multiplayer gaming. And you’re not limited to two connected users: an entire chapter of the book is devoted to engineering multipeer WebRTC apps that let groups of people communicate in real time. You’ll create your own video conferencing app. It’s all here. WebRTC is an API exposed in all modern web browsers. After almost a decade of development, the WebRTC specification was finalized, and this book provides faithful coverage of that finalized specification. You’ll start by building a basic but complete WebRTC application for video chatting. Chapter by chapter, you’ll refine that app and its core logic to spin up new and exciting WebRTC-powered apps that will have your users sharing all manner of data with one another, all in real time. No third-party libraries or heavy downloads are required for you or your users: you’ll be writing and strengthening your knowledge of vanilla jаvascript and native browser APIs.
