Pro Python Best Practices
by Kristian RotherLearn software engineering and coding best practices to write Python code right and error free. In this book you'll see how to properly debug, organize, test, and maintain your code, all of which leads to better, more efficient coding. Software engineering is difficult. Programs of any substantial length are inherently prone to errors of all kinds. The development cycle is full of traps unknown to the apprentice developer. Yet, in Python textbooks little attention is paid to this aspect of getting your code to run. At most, there is a chapter on debugging or unit testing in your average basic Python book. However, the proportion of time spent on getting your code to run is much higher in the real world. Pro Python Best Practices aims to solve this problem. What You'll Learn Learn common debugging techniques that help you find and eliminate errors Gain techniques to detect bugs more easily Learn techniques to keep your project under control Who This Book Is For Experienced Python coders from web development, big data, and more.
Pro Python System Administration
by Rytis SileikaAs time goes on, system administrators are presented with increasingly complicated challenges. In the early days, a team of engineers might have had to look after one or two systems. These days, one engineer can administer hundreds or thousands of systems. System administrators are gradually replacing their tools with more advanced and flexible ones. One of the choices is Python. Structurally, Python is a modern, high-level language with a very clean syntax. Python comes with many built-in libraries that can make automation tasks easier. It also has extensive set of third-party libraries and a very active development community. This flexibility makes Python a good choice for a wide variety of tasks, from prototyping science applications to system maintenance and administration jobs. This book explains and shows how to apply Python scripting in practice. Unlike the majority of the Python books, it will show you how to approach and resolve real-world issues that most system administrators will come across in their careers. In this book, you will find several projects in the categories of network administration, web server administration, and monitoring and database management. In each project, we will define the problem, design the solution, and go through the more interesting implementation steps. Each project is accompanied with the source code of a fully working prototype, which you'll be able to use immediately or adapt to your requirements and environment. What you'll learn Solve real-world system administration problems using Python. Manage devices with SNMP and SOAP. Build a distributed monitoring system. Manage web applications and parse complex log files. Automatically monitor and manage MySQL databases. Who this book is for This book is primarily aimed at experienced system administrators whose day-to-day tasks involve looking after and managing small-to-medium-sized server estates. It will also be beneficial for system administrators who want to learn more about automation and want to apply their Python knowledge to solve various system administration problems. Python developers will also benefit from reading this book, especially if they are involved in developing automation and management tools. This book assumes that readers already use Python and are comfortable with the language. Most of the Linux distributions come with Python and various libraries (such as Django, PIL and SciPy) packaged and readily available, but basic knowledge of installing packages in a Linux/Unix environment is advised. Table of Contents Reading and Collecting Performance Data Using SNMP1 Managing Devices Using the SOAP API Creating a Web Application for IP Address Accountancy Integrating the IP Address Application with DHCP Maintaining a List of Virtual Hosts in an Apache Configuration File Gathering and Presenting Statistical Data from Apache Log Files Performing Complex Searches and Reporting on Application Log Files A Web Site Availability Check Script for Nagios Management and Monitoring Subsystem Remote Monitoring Agents Statistics Gathering and Reporting Automatic MySQL Database Performance Tuning Using Amazon EC2/S3 as a Data Warehouse Solution

Pro Single Page Application Development
by Gil Fink Ido FlatowOne of the most important and exciting trends in web development in recent years is the move towards single page applications, or SPAs. Instead of clicking through hyperlinks and waiting for each page to load, the user loads a site once and all the interactivity is handled fluidly by a rich JavaScript front end. If you come from a background in ASP. NET development, you ll be used to handling most interactions on the server side. Pro Single Page Application Development will guide you through your transition to this powerful new application type. The book starts in Part I by laying the groundwork for SPA development. You ll master some JavaScript techniques that will come in useful later on, and get to know the building blocks of a single page application, including modules, routing and MV* frameworks. In Part II, you ll build the client for your application. This is where the magic happens, as the authors take you through the process step by step. Backbone. js is the ideal library for demonstrating SPA development in practice, but you can apply the same principles with other frameworks in your future applications. Part III takes you through the process of building the server side of your application using ASP. NET Web API, and hooking up the two parts of your application to create a working whole. SPA development also comes with its own particular challenges, including tracking history, user interface performance, and how to handle search engine optimization. In the final chapters, the authors guide you through some of these issues and advanced techniques and finish by showing you how to deploy your application. As SPAs become the de facto standard of web application development, the in-depth Pro Single Page Application Development will be your one-stop shop for creating fluid, modern applications on the web.

This book is a no-nonsense guide with case studies of increasing complexity throughout the book. Pro Spring Boot is written by Felipe Gutierrez, a Spring expert consultant who works with Pivotal, the company behind the Spring Framework. Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based applications that you can almost "just run". The goal is to allow you to get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration. Spring Boot provides a radically faster and widely accessible getting started experience for all Spring development and provides a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects (e. g. embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, externalized configuration); and with absolutely no code generation nor requirements for XML configuration. After you read and use this book, you'll be able to develop complex Spring applications and microservices with minimal fuss on things like configurations. This book will let you fully leverage the Spring Boot productivity suite of tools and show you how to apply them through the use of a few case studies as well. What you'll learn What is Spring Boot and how to write your first Spring Boot application How to configure Spring Boot How to use the Spring Boot Actuator How to do web development with Spring Boot How to build microservices with Spring Boot How to handle databases and messaging with Spring Boot How to test and deploy with Spring Boot How to extend Spring Boot and its available plug-ins Who this book is for This book is for experienced Spring and Java developers seeking increased productivity gains and decreased complexity and development time in their applications and software services writing.
