Windows kernel programming is considered by many a dark art, available to select few that manage to somehow unlock the mysteries of the Windows kernel. Kernel development, however, is no different than user-mode development, at least in general terms. In both cases, a good understanding of the platform is essential for producing high quality code. The book is a guide to programming within the Windows kernel, using the well-known Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). This environment is familiar to many developers in the Microsoft space, so that the learning curve is restricted to kernel understanding, coding and debugging, with less friction from the development tools.

Go, also known as GoLang, is a Google-developed open-source, compiled, and statically typed computer language. Go is a general purpose programming language with a straightforward syntax and a large standard library. The building of highly accessible and scalable web apps is one of the primary areas where GoLang is widely used. It may also be used to develop command-line programs, desktop applications, and even mobile apps. Go was designed from the ground up for networking and infrastructure-related applications. It was developed as a replacement for popular server-side languages like Java and C++. The Go programming language aims to combine the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language with the simplicity of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language. It also aspires to be cutting edge, with networked and multicore computer capabilities.

Kotlin is a free and open-source general purpose programming language that is mostly used to create Android apps. Kotlin was developed by JetBrains initially and later picked up by Google as the language of choice for its Android platform. Over the past few years, Kotlin has become one of the most popular alternatives to Java language and is used by more than 80 percent of Android app developers. Kotlin is a statically typed, advanced programming language that compiles Kotlin code into Java byte-code and runs on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It can also be compiled to native executables and jаvascript source code. It is an object-oriented programming language that includes data types, operators, I/O comments, control statements, functions, classes, object expressions, and constructors, among other features. It is not a standalone programming language; rather, it is an innovative manner of coding that runs on Java.

This book teaches you how to make Machine Learning models more interpretable. Machine learning has great potential for improving products, processes and research. But computers usually do not explain their predictions which is a barrier to the adoption of Machine Learning. This book is about making Machine Learning models and their decisions interpretable. After exploring the concepts of interpretability, you will learn about simple, interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules and linear regression. The focus of the book is on model-agnostic methods for interpreting black box models such as feature importance and accumulated local effects, and explaining individual predictions with Shapley values and LIME. In addition, the book presents methods specific to deep neural networks.

A PowerShell Textbook written by the community for the community! Learning about PowerShell Automation Tools and Techniques just got easier! Influenced by past PowerShell Conference Books, Modern IT Automation with PowerShell aims to provide you with a more academic format, worthy of use as a teaching tool. The book is divided into five domains; each section contains contributions from subject experts within the PowerShell Community. Whether you are a student, just getting started in IT, or a seasoned professional that casually uses PowerShell, you will benefit from reading this book. For most administrators, PowerShell is a simple tool used to perform simple tasks quickly. However, when used correctly, PowerShell is a powerful automation tool that can solve complex problems with efficiency. This section will cover advanced PowerShell concepts in code design and refactoring, progressive conditions, logging, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It features deep-dive topics such as interpolation, data management, bitwise operators, and operator precedence.

A developer-friendly, practical and pragmatic guide to lightweight software architecture, technical leadership and the balance with agility. This book is a practical, pragmatic and lightweight guide to software architecture, specifically aimed at developers, and focussed around the software architecture role and process. Application architecture is what we as software developers are probably the most familiar with. In this context, I’m going to define an application as being a single deployable unit, written in a single technology; such as a single-page jаvascript/Angular application, an iOS or Android mobile app, a Java server-side Spring MVC web application, a .NET desktop application, etc.

A guide to visualising your software architecture with the C4 model. This book focusses on the visual communication and documentation of software architecture, based upon a collection of ideas and techniques that thousands of people across the world have found useful. The core of this is my C4 software architecture model and the software guidebook. You'll also find discussion about notation, the various uses for diagrams, the value of creating a model and tooling. Of course, the Unified Modelling Language (UML), a standardised notation for communicating the design of software systems, still lives on. However, while you can argue about whether UML offers an effective way to communicate software architecture or not, that’s often irrelevant because many teams have already thrown out UML or simply don’t know it.

A compilation of top best practices for improving the developer experience for an API-as-a-Product. At Nordic APIs, we pay special attention to the overall strategy behind Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). And time and time again, we've found that quality developer experience truly sets apart favorite services with high adoption from the underperforming ones. So, how can you design a great API experience? In this volume, we've collected our top-performing articles on developer experience. We'll look into tips to streamline the discovery and onboarding process, as well as ways to make your API more self-service. We cover best practices around documentation, sandboxes, and sample code. We'll also explore some particular design traits to keep consistent to retain happy users. Developer experience, sometimes abbreviated as DevX or DX, is similar to user experience (UX) but focuses on the experience developers have while using a software tool.
