Web Assembly – Free O’Reilly Book

book, free, oreilly, WASM, WebAssembly

Red Panda is currently making the O’Reilly book by Brian Sletten – WebAssembly the Definitive Guide free to download (well, the price of your email address).

So why is worth snagging a download? Well, WebAssembly (Wasm) is the new way to deliver browser-based solutions to a client without having to develop with JavaScript. As a result, you have the chance to reuse more of your existing code. It also has the benefit of having been precompiled to a binary form, offering code security and compact download. But Wasm also has been seeing adoption in back-end server solutions as well, particularly for feature extensions, etc.

On Line Training – API Driven Architecture

API, oreilly, Packt, Packt Publishing, training, video

In January we presented our 1st online training, looking at API Design and use of Apiary and Swagger. Things went well until near the end where for some reason voice and video dropped for no apparent reason. Our coordinator Lindsay kept the recording going and soon as we reconnected I continued the session and went through the Q&A.

So if you missed the end of the training, please do check back with the recording.

If you missed the training – we’ll be rerunning in March – go here.

For those on the training will have seen at the start of the training links to my social media profile, so happy to try to respond to any further questions.

We are also scheduled to run the session again in a month or so.

One of the questions received during the session I thought worth mentioning was when would Apiary support Open API 3.0. Well according to their blog very soon, looking forward to it as the OAS 3 does look a little cleaner.

eBook(lets) from O’Reilly

I received an email through the virtual Java User Group highlighting the availability of a couple of eBooks around Java published by O’Reilly. The details are below. The books are more booklets (nothing wrong with that). The key difference being that they are shorter and focused on one or two focused subjects (in this case Java 8’s Lambda’s & Streams) which is great because I don’t want a whole Java book again, I just want to get a handle on the key changes and language innovations. It is worth highlighting that these aren’t just ‘free chapters’ which is what you see happen sometimes as the goal of the book is described, doesn’t depend on prior chapters to work the illustrated material and structured with the appropriate cover material contents, index etc so works as a discrete entity.

This approach seems to be coming more common at O’Reilly at least as a marketing device, and we have seen this being done with the Dummies brand where the booklets have then been printed as conference give aways.

Some may argue that this is a reflection of our ever shortening attention span with books. This maybe the case for some, but I suspect it is more about providing some that is more digestible than a ‘free chapter’, but more importantly reflects the recognition that for books that are providing guides (as opposed to reference books – which I’d include patterns books) people don’t want to buy a latest edition of a book where the 1st chapters are exactly the same as the previous edition of the book and that the only significant change is a new section on Lambdas for example.

Any way the latest book details received are:

Introducing Java 8
by Raoul-Gabriel Urma
Offers a practical tutorial to some of the core Java 8 features and gets you programming quickly with Java 8.
Object Oriented vs Functional Programming
by Richard Warburton
Explains the similarities and differences between functional programming and object oriented programming with Java focused examples.

The other book(lets) that have drawn my attention to the trend include:

  • Static Site Generators
  • Migrating to Cloud-Native Application Architectures
  • Software Architecture Patterns
  • Little Book of HTML/CSS Coding Guidelines
  • Java the Legend – history of Java
  • Designing Great Web APIs
  • Modern Java Script
  • Hadoop with Python
  • Release Engineering How Google Builds and Delivers Software
  • Functional Programming in Python
  • 20 Python Libraries You Aren’t Using (But Should)
  • Monitoring Distributed Systems
  • Little Book of HTML/CSS Frameworks

In addition to these Book(let)s O’Reilly offer a range of ‘reports’ such as:

  • Mapping Big Data, Evaluating Machine Learning Models, Data Driven  (the full range can be seen at Free Data Reports)
  • Open by Design
  • Design for Voice Interfaces (Siri, Cortana etc)

 

In addition O’Reilly have a page on ‘Open Books’ (here) – covering significant texts O’Reilly have had some involvement in but published under licenses such as Create Commons.

 

  • [18-01-16 Update] New booklet added for Modern Java Script

Free eBook

 book 
Designers must understand user needs to create any product. But what type of data should you look at?While we’ve all heard about big data, talk of “thick” data remains scant. Generally speaking, big data is quantitative; it gives you the what, where, and when, while thick data provides the qualitative perspective—the how and the why.

Pamela Pavliscak, founder of design research firm Change Sciences, says you need all the data—both big and thick—to fully understand how users interact with websites, apps, and other products. In her new report, Data-Informed Product Design, she outlines a way to use data of all kinds to understand the relationship between people and technology.

Up until now, there hasn’t been much information on how to combine quantitative big data with qualitative thick data. That’s where this report can help. If you’re involved in any aspect of product design, this is indispensable reading. It’s useful, and we’re pleased to offer it to you, for free!

Get the free ebook now.
