Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics. Mark Richards and Neal Ford—hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years—focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks.

It's challenging to assess and understand how to learn a new skill, mainly when the subject appears vast. There can be so much data available that it is difficult to know where to begin. Even worse, you start learning and soon find there are so many definitions, commands, and complexities not clarified. This book is helpful even if you have never used Linux before but want to master it.

Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind. Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks.

In this updated edition, the authors show you how zero trust lets you focus on building strong authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout, while providing compartmentalized access and better operational agility. You'll learn the architecture of a zero trust network, including how to build one using currently available technology.

After discussing what an algorithm does and how its effectiveness can be measured, Louridas covers three of the most fundamental applications areas: graphs, which describe networks, from eighteenth-century problems to today's social networks; searching, and how to find the fastest way to search; and sorting, and the importance of choosing the best algorithm for particular tasks. He then presents larger-scale applications: PageRank, Google's founding algorithm; and neural networks and deep learning.

A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams. Many of our software-to-systems initiatives fail, though, and when they do, we double down on traditional linear approaches. But linear thinking cannot resolve systems challenges. We need to shift to systems thinking.

In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, computer scientist John Kelleher offers an accessible and concise but comprehensive introduction to the fundamental technology at the heart of the artificial intelligence revolution.

全部読み直してみて、その1割を集めた。さきに『先物の世界 相場難儀道』を14年ぶりに
復刻版として、出版。絶版復活のご要望があまりにも強かった。『先物の世界 相場戒律』とした。
戒律は組織を維持し守るためのもので、相場戒律とは、相場にたずさわる人がいきのこるため、
自分のために守らなければならないという意味で題名にした。

不朽の名著・今蘇る！ 鏑木 繁著

この本は相場の心理面のことを書いたもので技術的な入門の書ではない。
心の置きどころというものであろうか。人間の弱さ、もろさを補う方法である。
あまた相場に関する本は数え切れぬほど出版されている。

しかし、いかに儲けるか―の面は親切に説かれているが、相場の地獄編は書かれていない。
多くの投資家、投機家。そして銀行、証券界者の第一戦のディーラは、
相場とはまさに地獄図であることをご承知である。

本書が、その地獄から抜け出せる本であるなどとは言わない。
ただ、地獄を随分永いあいだ経験し、相場の苦しみを知った人間が書いたというだけである。

But developing these new systems brings its own host of problems. This expanded second edition takes a holistic view of topics that you need to consider when building, managing, and scaling microservices architectures. Through clear examples and practical advice, author Sam Newman gives everyone from architects and developers to testers and IT operators a firm grounding in the concepts.

鏑木ファンは多い。特に、ベテランからの圧倒的な支持を受けている。言葉を換えて言えば、ベテランほど鏑木本を読んでいる印象を受ける。相場の世界に入ったばかりの人は「魚(儲かる銘柄)」を欲しがる。相場がわかってきた人たちは「釣り方(儲けるノウハウ)」を知りたがる。そして、相場の達人の領域にまでたどり着いた人たちは「釣りをするときの心構え(心のコントロール)」を手に入れたいと思うようになる、ようだ。達人の領域に近づけば近づくほど「心構え→ノウハウ→銘柄」の優先順位になる。初心者の優先順位が「銘柄→ノウハウ→心構え」であるのとは対照的だ。鏑木本はこの「達人たちが痛感している心構えの重要性」についてを、エピソードを交えながら紹介している。しかも、机上の話ではなく実践している者の話として、耳に痛くなく、それでいてときには手厳しい示唆を込めて紹介している。ここに、ベテランに受ける理由があるのだろう。(C)Sigeru Kaburagi 2005
