    This is the undisputed go-to guide to Rust, written by two members of the Rust core team, with feedback and contributions from 42 members of the community. The book assumes that you’ve written code in another programming language but makes no assumptions about which one, meaning the material is accessible and useful to developers from a wide variety of programming backgrounds.Known by the Rust community as "The Book," The Rust Programming Language includes concept chapters, where you’ll learn about a particular aspect of Rust, and project chapters, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned so far to build small programs.The Book opens with a quick hands-on project to introduce the basics then explores key concepts in depth, such as ownership, the type system, error handling, and fearless concurrency. Next come detailed explanations of Rust-oriented perspectives on topics like pattern matching, iterators, and smart pointers, with concrete examples and exercises--taking you from theory to practice.The Rust Programming Language will show you how to: Grasp important concepts unique to Rust like ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes Use Cargo, Rust’s built-in package manager, to build and maintain your code, including downloading and building dependencies Effectively use Rust’s zero-cost abstractions and employ your ownYou’ll learn to develop reliable code that’s speed and memory efficient, while avoiding the infamous and arcane programming pitfalls common at the systems level. When you need to dive down into lower-level control, this guide will show you how without taking on the customary risk of crashes or security holes and without requiring you to learn the fine points of a fickle toolchain.You’ll also learn how to create command line programs, build single- and multithreaded web servers, and much more.The Rust Programming Language fully embraces Rust’s potential to empower its users. This friendly and approachable guide will help you build not only your knowledge of Rust but also your ability to program with confidence in a wider variety of domains.

    We'll use the world's most popular functional programming language: JavaScript. Some may feel this is a poor choice as it's against the grain of the current culture which, at the moment, feels predominately imperative. However, I believe it is the best way to learn FP for several reasons:You likely use it every day at work.This makes it possible to practice and apply your acquired knowledge each day on real world programs rather than pet projects on nights and weekends in an esoteric FP language.We don't have to learn everything up front to start writing programs.In a pure functional language, you cannot log a variable or read a DOM node without using monads. Here we can cheat a little as we learn to purify our codebase. It's also easier to get started in this language since it's mixed paradigm and you can fall back on your current practices while there are gaps in your knowledge.The language is fully capable of writing top notch functional code.We have all the features we need to mimic a language like Scala or Haskell with the help of a tiny library or two. Object-oriented programming currently dominates the industry, but it's clearly awkward in JavaScript. It's akin to camping off of a highway or tap dancing in galoshes. We have to bind all over the place lest this change out from under us, we don't have classes[^Yet], we have various work arounds for the quirky behavior when the new keyword is forgotten, private members are only available via closures. To a lot of us, FP feels more natural anyways.That said, typed functional languages will, without a doubt, be the best place to code in the style presented by this book. JavaScript will be our means of learning a paradigm, where you apply it is up to you. Luckily, the interfaces are mathematical and, as such, ubiquitous. You'll find yourself at home with swiftz, scalaz, haskell, purescript, and other mathematically inclined environments.

    

    

    These are challenges I met while building products at Laravel and others collected while supporting the framework users for the past four years.But before the challenges—and because every good technical book includes a crash course—we will explore the key components of a queue system, see how queues are used in Laravel, and understand why we need to use them.Keep GoingI wrote this book with three goals in mind; I wanted it to be:Practical; more code than talk.Short; comprehensive yet concise.Good looking.We studied differential equations in high school, but because we couldn't see any use case for them, they were forgotten minutes after the final exam, right? To fix that, I covered every queue configuration and technique by using it to solve a real-world problem.I also show you the rough edges by hitting them. We'll sit in a flight simulator and let our plane crash before I explain why we crashed and how to avoid that.Regarding the good looking part. You will get the book PDF in two versions; light and dark. I put a lot of effort into making both versions nice to look at. Because I believe a technical book doesn't have to look boring.

    The readers will first learn individual practices (TDD, Refactoring, Pair Programming, simple design and more). Afterwards they will focus on principles of Software Design, their relationships and systemic reasons, ending with a business oriented and sociotechnical perspective.

    With few exceptions, existing books are overly technical, only dedicate a single chapter to website vulnerabilities or don't include any real world examples. This book is different.Using publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, Web Hacking 101 explains common web vulnerabilities and will show you how to start finding vulnerabilities and collecting bounties. With over 30 examples, the book covers topics like:HTML InjectionCross site scripting (XSS)Cross site request forgery (CSRF)Open RedirectsRemote Code Execution (RCE)Application Logicand more...Each example includes a classification of the attack, a report link, the bounty paid, easy to understand description and key takeaways. After reading this book, your eyes will be opened to the wide array of vulnerabilities that exist and you'll likely never look at a website or API the same way.

    An effective test suite guides you towards maintainable code. It allows you to make major changes to your application and be confident that everything still works.Testing Rails is a practical approach to learning testing.

    On top of lexical scope, closure empowers functions with memory, preserving variables across calls. Modules leverage scope and closures to encapsulate data and behavior.

    Hyper-productive teams and organizations have always existed, both in the business and military fields. Naturally, they are rare statistical outliers. The main focus of this book is how one can build and manage a hyper-productive knowledge-work organization, by taking as a source of inspiration the experience matured in the field of software engineering. Software development organizations — like Microsoft, Google, Oracle; but also high profile open source organizations like Apache, Ubuntu, Drupal and others — can be considered as archetypal knowledge­based organizations, because the totality of artifacts produced by a software business is purely immaterial. Software development organizations were the first one to confront the challenges of completely immaterial processes, entirely based on knowledge. They were also the first organizations to experience the socio-technological impact of information technology (especially the development of computer networks) on their internal work processes and organizational structures. Due to its frantic and exponential pace of innovation, the field of software development also became a testbed for a variety of approaches and methods for managing immaterial knowledge work, typically under the form of software development processes and methodologies. Numerous alternatives evolved over a relatively short period, with a lot of healthy competition in between them; with vehement “holy wars” between proponents of one approach or another; and with many anecdotes about both successes and failures. Valuable insights can be gained by studying the organizational and managerial approaches successfully adopted by the industry that produced the information revolution — that is, those organizations that engage first hand in software development — and then by extrapolating those organizational and managerial processes to the more general case of knowledge­based organizations. Nowadays, the majority of organizations have become knowledge-based. Even the most resilient and traditional "brick­ and ­mortar" businesses are forced to become knowledge­based organizations. For instance, consider the impact of large­scale 3D printing on the construction industry ("Contour Crafting"), where bricks and mortar literally become software. Or nanoscale technologies, where manufacturing at the sub-atomic level becomes software. The key tenet of this book is that organizational hyper-productivity stems from the two Noble Patterns of "Unity of Purpose" and "Community of Trust." The leaders and the top executives of the organization play a critical role in creating the conditions for these patterns to become effective. Management must play an active role in leading the organization towards these conditions. In the case of software (and knowledge) organizations, management will have to gain a deep understanding of the nature of software or knowledge work; and that nature is rooted in empiricism. Top executives already have that understanding; though they might not be aware of it, and – unfortunately – do not act consequently. Management must create the conditions for the development of a learning organization. Financial responsibility must be exercised differently, and in way that is compatible with the empirical nature of knowledge work. Key roles must be nurtured, while each team needs to develop their own shared vision of their purpose. Practical help comes from many sources, and we will look specifically, into like: Kanban, Scrum and the Theory of Constraints. The Theory of Constraints nurtures Unity of Purpose and Community of Trust in many ways. In particular, the Theory of Constraints squarely addresses the need to arrive at common metrics by which all and everybody are driven; and overcomes the structural impediments (rooted in the use of cost accounting and efficiency metrics for management purposes) which are the sources of divergence of purpose and hidden agendas. Kanban and Scrum are widely used in modern knowledge work businesses. The Theory of Constraint can extend them in powerful ways, bringing more predictability of behavior of the system as a whole, as well as of the individuals. Their combination becomes a powerful breeding ground for the development of Unity of Purpose and Community of Trust. Both Kanban and Scrum can be extended with features of the Theory of Constraint, and help creating a hyper-productive organization. The book will present practical ways by which such combination might be realized.

    You’ll explore real-world scenarios where poor understanding of tradeoffs lead to major problems down the road, to help you make better design decisions. Plus, with a little practice, you’ll be able to avoid the pitfalls that trip up even the most experienced developers.about the technologyCode performance versus simplicity. Delivery speed versus duplication. Flexibility versus maintainability—every decision you make in software engineering involves balancing tradeoffs. Often, decisions that look good at the design stage can prove problematic in practice. This book reveals the questions you need to be asking to make the right decisions for your own software tradeoffs.about the bookSoftware Mistakes and Tradeoffs teaches you how to make better decisions about designing, planning, and implementing applications. You’ll analyze real-world scenarios where the wrong tradeoff decisions were made, and discover what could have been done differently. The book lays out the pros and cons of different approaches and explores evergreen patterns that will always be relevant to software design.You’ll understand the consequences of certain decisions, like how code duplication impacts the coupling and evolution speed of your systems and how simple-sounding requirements can have hidden nuances with respect to date and time information. Discover how to efficiently narrow your optimization scope according to 80/20 Pareto principles and ensure consistency in your distributed systems. You’ll soon be able to apply the author’s hard-won experience to your own projects to pre-empt mistakes and take a more thoughtful approach to decision making.

    The world is changing; we have to change, too. This book is dedicated to covering the issues that until recently were not very popular in software engineering: logic, monoids, algebraic structures, categories, and monads. All these topics are explained in the book, with no assumptions about the reader's educational background, with many examples. Most of the examples and explanations use two popular programming languages, JavaScript and Scala.The book has no theorems and almost no proofs. The purpose of the book is to expand the reader's imagination and to open the gates to the beautiful world of mathematics—at the same time keeping in mind the practical usability of its ideas and notions in our daily coding practice.
