Full Color: Figures and code appear as they do in Visual Studio Windows Phone 7.5 Unleashed is the first comprehensive, start-to-finish developer’s guide to Microsoft’s brand-new Windows Phone 7.5. Written by Microsoft MVP and leading WPF/Silverlight innovator Daniel Vaughan, this full-color guide covers everything developers need to rapidly build highly competitive Windows Phone 7.5 mobile apps. Vaughan teaches through complete sample apps that illuminate each key concept with fully explained code and real-world context. He presents real-world best practices for building highly functional and attractive Metro interfaces; integrating touch, rich media, and data; testing; profiling; and more. Throughout, he shares expert insights available in no other book, drawing on his exceptional access to the Windows Phone development team through the elite Microsoft Silverlight and WPF Insiders group. Along the way, he presents exceptionally practical and thorough coverage of many powerful new Windows Phone 7.5 platform enhancements--including full chapters on sensors, the camera, XNA graphics, local databases, scheduled actions, and background file transfers. Detailed information on how to... Get started fast with Silverlight Windows Phone development in Visual Studio Master the Capabilities Model, threading, and the Execution Model Create attractive Metro interfaces using Windows Phone’s rich set of controls, including the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit Make the most of the application bar and other interface elements Enhance user experience with advanced support for touch, gesture, and sensors Build location-aware apps that use Bing Maps and location services Quickly internationalize apps for global markets Leverage Windows Phone 7.5’s improved camera support Connect apps to online services via SOAP, REST, and ODATA Validate user input on the client side or via Web services Use Windows Phone 7.5’s powerful new local database support Implement background actions, file transfers, and audio playback Incorporate game-style XNA graphics Unit test to find defects earlier, saving time and money

Cloud native development gives you the power to rapidly build, secure, and scale software. But you still need to navigate many potential pitfalls along the way. Through practical examples, this book demonstrates how to use Google Cloud as a laboratory to enable rapid innovation, a factory to automate build and testing, and a citadel to operate applications at scale securely.

Author Daniel Vaughan shows you how to take applications from prototype to production by combining Google Cloud services, a cloud native programming model, and best practices. By following an example project from start to finish, developers, architects, and engineering managers working with the Google Cloud Platform will learn how to build and run cloud native applications on Google Cloud with confidence.

With this book, you will:

Understand cloud native development concepts including microservices, containerization, and event-driven architectureLearn Google Cloud services that specifically support this development style: compute, persistence, messaging, DevOps, security and networking, and observabilityConfidently build cloud native applications on Google CloudLearn how to address nonfunctional requirements such as security, observability, and testingSuccessfully make the transition from initial proofs of concept and prototypes to production systems

This practical guide provides a collection of techniques and best practices that are generally overlooked in most data engineering and data science pedagogy. A common misconception is that great data scientists are experts in the "big themes" of the discipline—machine learning and programming. But most of the time, these tools can only take us so far. In practice, the smaller tools and skills really separate a great data scientist from a not-so-great one.

Taken as a whole, the lessons in this book make the difference between an average data scientist candidate and a qualified data scientist working in the field. Author Daniel Vaughan has collected, extended, and used these skills to create value and train data scientists from different companies and industries.

With this book, you will:

Understand how data science creates valueDeliver compelling narratives to sell your data science projectBuild a business case using unit economics principlesCreate new features for a ML model using storytellingLearn how to decompose KPIsPerform growth decompositions to find root causes for changes in a metric
