Practical Graph Analytics with Apache Giraph

Posted: 22 Apr 2016 10:42 AM PDT

Practical Graph Analytics with Apache Giraph.

Practical Graph Analytics with Apache Giraph helps you build data mining and machine learning applications using the Apache Foundation's Giraph framework for graph processing. This is the same framework as used by Facebook, Google, and other social media analytics operations to derive business value from vast amounts of interconnected data points.

Graphs arise in a wealth of data scenarios and describe the connections that are naturally formed in both digital and real worlds. Examples of such connections abound in online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, among users who rate movies from services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, and are useful even in the context of biological networks for scientific research. Whether in the context of business or science, viewing data as connected adds value by increasing the amount of information available to be drawn from that data and put to use in generating new revenue or scientific opportunities.

Apache Giraph offers a simple yet flexible programming model targeted to graph algorithms and designed to scale easily to accommodate massive amounts of data. Originally developed at Yahoo!, Giraph is now a top top-level project at the Apache Foundation, and it enlists contributors from companies such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Practical Graph Analytics with Apache Giraph brings the power of Apache Giraph to you, showing how to harness the power of graph processing for your own data by building sophisticated graph analytics applications using the very same framework that is relied upon by some of the largest players in the industry today.

What you'll learn

Model relationships in your data as graphs
Learn the Apache Giraph programming model and API
Create data mining algorithms in the Apache Giraph framework
Recognize common programming patterns in graph analysis
Scale your analyses applications as your business grows
Integrate your use of Giraph with Hadoop and other elements of the Big Data ecosystem

Who this book is for

Practical Graph Analytics with Apache Giraph is for data scientists and developers wanting to build large-scale, graph-mining and machine-learning applications.

OSPF: A Network Routing Protocol

Posted: 22 Apr 2016 10:36 AM PDT

OSPF: A Network Routing Protocol.

Learn how routers network using the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol and unpick Dijkstra's Network Algorithm to see how OSPF performs the calculations to determine the shortest or most appropriate path between two routers. OSPF: A Network Routing Protocol dives deep into the OSPF protocol without sacrificing simplicity in language. All of this is done with running examples and illustrations to clarify concepts and enhance the enjoyment of networking.

OSPF: A Network Routing Protocol is an absorbing, comprehensible account of OSPF, including the algorithm which is used for calculating its routes. While OSPF has traditionally been an organizational networking protocol, in these exciting times of Software Defined Networking (SDN), it has assumed an important role in the consolidated data center too. Now that the traditional distinctions between server and network roles are getting blurred, everyone in the data center needs to become familiar with networking and networking protocols.

What you'll learn

How routers accurately perform dynamic routing (packet forwarding) towards the final destination (despite being blind)
What are the fundamentals of the OSI model
What is the OSPF protocol
What is Dijkstra's Network Algorithm

Who this book is for

This book is for every computer networking professional, whether a relatively new network initiate, or an experienced veteran.

Learn PHP 7

Posted: 22 Apr 2016 09:16 AM PDT

Learn PHP 7: Object Oriented Modular Programming using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, XML, JSON, and MySQL.

This new book on PHP 7 introduces writing solid, secure, object-oriented code in the new PHP 7: you will create a complete three-tier application using a natural process of building and testing modules within each tier. This practical approach teaches you about app development and introduces PHP features when they are actually needed rather than providing you with abstract theory and contrived examples.

In Learn PHP 7, programming examples take advantage of the newest PHP features, including enhanced password encryption using password_hash. This book takes a learn-by-doing approach, providing you with complete coding examples.

“Do It” exercises in each chapter provide the opportunity to make adjustments to the example code. The end of chapter programming exercises allow you to develop your own applications using the algorithms demonstrated in the chapter. Each tier is logically and physically separated using object-oriented and dependency injection techniques, thus allowing independent tiers that can be updated with little or no effect on the other tiers. In addition to teaching good programming practices through OOP, there is a strong emphasis on creating secure code. As each chapter is completed, the reader is provide the opportunity to design and create an application reinforcing the concepts learned.

What you'll learn

What are the PHP 7 language basics: conditional statements, loops, arrays, and methods (functions)
How to combine PHP with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to create web applications
How to work with XML, JSON, and MySQL data
How to use secure coding techniques
How to create error logs, user logs, and application logs
What are the various backup and recovery techniques

JavaScript Object Programming

Posted: 22 Apr 2016 09:12 AM PDT

JavaScript Object Programming.

This brief book explains the advantages of the object model, inheritance, both classical and prototypical, and shows how these concepts can be implemented in JavaScript. It also shows how object programming (OP) opens a new world of design possibilities that go far beyond inheritance.

This book will help the intermediate JavaScript programmer learn to use both types of inheritance. For classical inheritance, it is accompanied by a substantial online system (a windowing UI library) that shows classical inheritance at its best. The same system shows how OP “capabilities” can eliminate much of the need for inheritance.

For experienced JavaScript programmers, this book shows why most of the old views of JavaScript’s inheritance have not done it justice. JavaScript classes inherit from JavaScript’s prototypes, a fact that makes JavaScript’s prototypes, when used correctly, functional equivalents to C++ classes (not to prototypes in true prototypal languages, like Self).

JavaScript’s object programming (not inheritance) is what separates it from classical OOP languages like C++ and Java. Most important, basing inheritance on JavaScript’s prototypal chain is possible, but is not the best choice for prototypal inheritance or classical inheritance.

What you'll learn

What are objects, JavaScript objects and object programming
What is and how to use inheritance and JavaScript inheritance as well as inheritance alternatives
How to design for JavaScript
What are and how to use OO principles in JavaScript
How to use Constructors with JavaScript and more

Who this book is for

This book is for both intermediate and advanced JavaScript and Web development programmers. Any programmer will understand the concepts and any JavaScript programmer should understand all of the concepts in this book. The code there shows examples of the concepts discussed. Its immediate usefulness with be with intermediate and advanced JavaScript and Web development programmers.
