The ability to deliver software quickly and efficiently is paramount to a company's success. This book is a comprehensive guide to continuous integration and continuous delivery, providing insights and practical strategies for streamlining the software delivery pipeline for speedy and efficient deployments. You'll start by reviewing the fundamentals of CI/CD, and how it enables teams to automate the building, testing, and deployment of software, for faster and more reliable releases. The book then examines CI/CD pipelines, tooling, caching, and how to leverage these tools to expedite delivery workflows, before highlighting the increased importance of testing and monitoring during that process. You'll also gain insights into various testing methodologies and learn how to implement them effectively within their CI/CD pipelines, while keeping QA engineers and other skeptical team members happy. However, the journey towards accelerated software delivery is not just about technology. It also requires a cultural shift within your software development team. The book accomplishes this by delving into strategies for getting apprehensive team members on board. CI/CD Unleashed provides the tools and techniques you need to ensure the quality and reliability of their software, while staying relatively agnostic regarding things like language and framework choices.You Will Learn To:  Understand the advantages continuous integration and continuous delivery provide. Automate the building, testing, and deployment of software for faster releases. See how CI/CD can aid a cultural shift within software development teams. Implement CI/CD best practices to deliver streamlined and more cost-effective deployments for your organization. Review WIP limits, small batch releases, and the importance of fostering a blame-free culture. Apply various testing methodologies such as unit testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing.

Ace your software engineering job interviews by preparing yourself for the concurrent programming rounds. This book fills the gap in practical resources designated for concurrency interview prep. It simplifies complex concepts in C++ and provides example questions to help you approach your interview with confidence.Today, interviews for software engineering roles typically include several different rounds: coding, system design, behavioral, and domain knowledge. The domain knowledge round can vary based on the job description, but one extremely common focus is concurrent programming. While not intended to be a comprehensive reference, this book distills the essential interview insights drawn from author Bonan Liu's personal experiences to stand out from the competition. Key topics include mutexes and locks, condition variables, thread abstraction, STL features, and lock-free implementations, with each concept reinforced through practical exercises like building a file handler cache and implementing read/write locks.Software interviews are more than just exams; they are hours-long conversations with real people. You'll not only develop a solid understanding of concurrency, but also learn how to best showcase your expertise to enhance your performance throughout the entire process, including general coding rounds.You will: Acquire foundational knowledge of concurrent programming in C++. Practice relevant interview questions for each section of this knowledge. Develop strategies for best demonstrating learned skills in the general coding round.

This book introduces the CAML model, a novel integration of Cellular Automata (CA) and Machine Learning (ML), designed to deliver e¿cient computation with minimal training data and low computing resources. CAML operates through two key perspectives: one where CA is enhanced by ML to handle complex non-linear evolution, and another where CA strengthens ML by leveraging linear CA evolution to process linear functions e¿ectively.The book focuses on real-world applications of CA, such as in Computational Biology, where CAML models protein chains to predict mutations linked to human diseases, using carefully designed CA rule sequences for each amino acid. Another signi¿cant application is in multi-language Sentiment Analysis, where the model analyzes text in ¿ve languages (Hindi, Arabic, English, Greek, and Georgian), without relying on pre-trained language models.CAML uses CA rules for Unicode character modeling, öering a transparent, interpretable prediction algorithm.Overall, CAML aims to drive industrial and societal applications of CA, with an emphasis on transparent results and e¿cient hardware design through CA's regular, modular, and scalable structure.
