Eloquent JavaScript - a book on javascript programming.

EFF and McSweeney’s have teamed up to bring you The End of Trust (McSweeney’s 54). The first all-nonfiction McSweeney’s issue is a collection of essays and interviews focusing on issues related to technology, privacy, and surveillance.The collection features writing by EFF’s team, including...

This is a book about JavaScript, programming, and the wonders of the digital. You can read it online here, or get your own paperback copy of the second edition.

It's clear that microservices are the current hot architectural pattern, covered extensively on blogs, in the tech news at software conferences. Several times a week, InfoQ has a news item, podcast or presentation mentioning microservices.

But is it all just hype and a pattern useful at startups working on greenfield applications? And is the dreaded monolith, the antithesis of a microservices architecture, really dying a slow death, barely limping along until a complete replacement is built?

The reality looks closer to the compromises that any software architect will recognize. Both architectures come with pros and cons, and it is important to understand all the trade-offs before deciding that the monolith has to go, and microservices are the answer. A common theme is managing complexity, and successful solutions (with either architecture) strongly embrace concepts of Domain-Driven Design.

This eMag includes articles written by experts who have implemented successful, maintainable systems across the spectrum of microservices to monoliths.

Code is easy, State is hard. Learning how to deal with your monolithic relational databases in a microservices structure is key to keeping pace in a quickly changing workplace. There are many approaches and in this book, author Edson Yanaga, takes you through nine different strategies for integrating data from your monolithic application to a microservice architecture.

This book has been written for programmers, by a programmer. In order to understand it, you should already know object-oriented programming, for example, via a mainstream programming language such as Java, PHP, C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, Swift, C#, or Perl.

Thus, the book’s target audience is programmers who want to learn JavaScript quickly and properly, and JavaScript programmers who want to deepen their skills and/or look up specific topics.

Speaking JavaScript has four parts:

JavaScript Quick Start: Learn a safe subset of JavaScript in less than 30 pages.
Background: When, why, and how was JavaScript created? How is it related to other programming languages? What were the important steps that got us to where we are today?
JavaScript in Depth: This part is more of a reference: look for a topic that you are interested in, jump in, and explore. I still tried to make it fun to read.
Tips, Tools, and Libraries: This part gives tips for using JavaScript: best practices, advanced techniques, and learning resources. It also describes a few important tools and libraries.

This article selects the best open source books that will give readers a firm foundation in developing Go applications.

Hey there! This is Learn You Some Erlang for great good! This book is for you if you’ve got some programming experience and if you’re not too familiar with functional programming. It can still be useful if you’re too good for that, as we progressively go into more and more advanced topics.

Got another free #ebook from @PacktPub for review. Enjoying reading 'Mastering AngularJS Directives' by @JoshKurz http://t.co/eBWxrfXvNj
