A friendly, fully-illustrated introduction to the most important computer programming algorithms.

The algorithms you'll use most often as a programmer have already been discovered, tested, and proven. This book will prepare you for those pesky algorithms questions in every programming job interview and help you apply them in your day-to-day work. And if you want to understand them without slogging through dense multipage proofs, this is the book for you.

In Grokking Algorithms, Second Edition you will discover:

The first edition of Grokking Algorithms proved to over 100,000 readers that learning algorithms doesn't have to be complicated or boring! This new edition now includes fresh coverage of trees, NP complete problems, and code updates to Python 3. With easy-to-read, friendly explanations, clever examples, and exercises to sharpen your skills as you learn, you’ll actually enjoy learning these important algorithms.

Broad and up-to-date coverage of the principles and practice in the fast moving area of Distributed Systems. Distributed Systems provides students of computer science and engineering with the skills they will need to design and maintain software for distributed applications. It will also be invaluable to software engineers and systems designers wishing to understand new and future developments in the field.From mobile phones to the Internet, our lives depend increasingly on distributed systems linking computers and other devices together in a seamless and transparent way. The fifth edition of this best-selling text continues to provide a comprehensive source of material on the principles and practice of distributed computer systems and the exciting new developments based on them, using a wealth of modern case studies to illustrate their design and development. The depth of coverage will enable students to evaluate existing distributed systems and design new ones.

“For an engineer determined to refine and secure Internet operation or to explore alternative solutions to persistent problems, the insights provided by this book will be invaluable.”

—Vint Cerf, Internet pioneer

TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, Second Edition, is a detailed and visual guide to today’s TCP/IP protocol suite. Fully updated for the newest innovations, it demonstrates each protocol in action through realistic examples from modern Linux, Windows, and Mac OS environments. There’s no better way to discover why TCP/IP works as it does, how it reacts to common conditions, and how to apply it in your own applications and networks.

Building on the late W. Richard Stevens’ classic first edition, author Kevin R. Fall adds his cutting-edge experience as a leader in TCP/IP protocol research, updating the book to fully reflect the latest protocols and best practices. He first introduces TCP/IP’s core goals and architectural concepts, showing how they can robustly connect diverse networks and support multiple services running concurrently. Next, he carefully explains Internet addressing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Then, he walks through TCP/IP’s structure and function from the bottom up: from link layer protocols–such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi–through network, transport, and application layers.

Fall thoroughly introduces ARP, DHCP, NAT, firewalls, ICMPv4/ICMPv6, broadcasting, multicasting, UDP, DNS, and much more. He offers extensive coverage of reliable transport and TCP, including connection management, timeout, retransmission, interactive data flow, and congestion control. Finally, he introduces the basics of security and cryptography, and illuminates the crucial modern protocols for protecting security and privacy, including EAP, IPsec, TLS, DNSSEC, and DKIM. Whatever your TCP/IP experience, this book will help you gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of the entire protocol suite so you can build better applications and run more reliable, efficient networks.

Acing the CCNA Exam is a comprehensive, detailed guide to passing the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam and kickstarting your career in IT, networking, and systems administration. It's written by Jeremy McDowell, a much-loved Cisco tutor who's amazing courses have helped hundreds of thousands of students pass their exams.

About the technology:

The CCNA is the gold standard entry-level certification for success in an IT career. Covering a range of networking technologies, the exam proves you know just what's needed to secure an entry-level job or advance your career. It certifies you as skilled in the fundamentals of networking, a vital skill across the tech industry, along with how to apply that knowledge on common Cisco hardware. It's the perfect stepping stone for a career in systems administration, server engineering, or cyber security.

Almost 50 years ago, the C language defined modern computer programming. This book shows you why C is still as powerful and popular as ever, with an inside look at the new C23 standard.For programs that need to be small, fast, and unfailingly reliable, C is still the gold standard. Whether you're writing embedded code, low-level system routines, or high-performance applications, C is up to the challenge. This unique book by Jens Gustedt, a member of the ISO C standards committee, gets you up to speed with C23.In Modern C, Third Edition you'll:

C powers more software than any other language—from embedded devices to distributed systems. In Modern C, Third Edition you'll learn to harness C's full potential using the latest tools and techniques. After a quick review of the fundamentals perfect for beginners or coders who haven't used C in a while, this book guides you to mastery of C23, the latest ISO standard.

As the sophistication of cyber-attacks increases, understanding how to defend critical infrastructure systems-energy production, water, gas, and other vital systems-becomes more important, and heavily mandated. Industrial Network Security, Third Edition arms you with the knowledge you need to understand the vulnerabilities of these distributed supervisory and control systems.Author Eric Knapp examines the unique protocols and applications that are the foundation of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and provides clear guidelines for their protection. This comprehensive reference gives you thorough understanding of the challenges facing critical infrastructures, new guidelines and security measures for infrastructure protection, knowledge of new and evolving security tools, and pointers on SCADA protocols and security implementation.

Concrete tools, techniques, and processes to align software architecture with your business domains, organizational design, team topologies, and corporate strategy.

Written for anyone who makes decisions about software architecture or organization design, including architects, CTOs, principal engineers, and tech leads.

In Architecture Modernization: Socio-technical alignment of software, strategy, and structure you'll learn how to:

About the technology

You can't safely separate an organization's software architecture from its business objectives, corporate strategy, or team structure. Architecture Modernization shows you how to turn the practice of designing software into a transformative process for your entire company. This unique guide reveals a collaborative holistic approach to software design that identifies the value modernization can bring to your business's domains. You'll quickly reduce ineffective dependencies and empower your teams to make fast decisions and even faster production deployments.

Are you ready to challenge the ways you have always approached networking? The IT world has undergone a transformation, and fast solutions just aren’t fast enough anymore. A platform-based approach with automated processing of data is no longer a dream of the future—it's a requirement of the present.

In Cisco Meraki Fundamentals, you will learn how to “think” platform: end-to-end control, management, and visibility of operations, all with less complexity. As you embrace this thinking, the possibilities for producing optimized solutions to problems now and in the future become constraints merely of your imagination.

Cisco Meraki Fundamentals provides everything you need to get started forging a platform-centric journey. From the basics of cloud architecture and building the Dashboard, through automation, best practices, and a look at the Meraki admin experience, Cisco Meraki Fundamentals provides a powerful foundation from which to forge a digital operation for the future.
