Title : Hadoop Explained Edition :  Year : 2014 Authors :  Aravind Shenoy Publisher :  Packt Preface With the almost unfathomable increase in web traffic over recent years, driven by millions  of connected users, businesses are gaining access to massive amounts of complex,  unstructured data from which to gain insight.  When Hadoop was introduced by Yahoo in 2007, it brought with it a paradigm shift in how  this data was stored and analyzed. Hadoop allowed small- and medium-sized companies to  store huge amounts of data on cheap commodity servers in racks. This data could thus be  processed and used to make business decisions that were supported by ‘Big Data’.  Hadoop is now implemented in major organizations such as Amazon, IBM, Cloudera,  and Dell to name a few. This book introduces you to Hadoop and to concepts such as  MapReduce, Rack Awareness, YARN, and HDFS Federation, which will help you get  acqu...

Title : Mastering Bitcoin Edition :  Year : 2010 Authors :  Andreas M Antonopoulus Publisher :  O'Rielly Preface I first stumbled upon bitcoin in mid-2011. My immediate reaction was more or less  “Pfft! Nerd money!” and I ignored it for another 6 months, failing to grasp its impor tance. This is a reaction which I have seen repeated among many of the smartest people  I know, which gives me some consolation. The second time I came across bitcoin in a  mailing list discussion, I decided to read the white paper written by Satoshi Nakamoto,  to study the authoritative source and see what it was all about. I still remember the  moment I finished reading those 9 pages, when I realized that bitcoin was not simply a  digital currency, but a network of trust that could also provide the basis for so much  more than just currencies. That realization: “This isn’t money, it’s a de-centralized trust  network,” started me on a fo...

Title : Automated Quality: Six Steps to Success Edition :  Year : 2017 Authors :  Verint Publisher :  Verint Preface There is no activity in quality monitoring more time consuming  than manually scoring evaluations. With thousands of calls  to evaluate — and limited resources — quality staff may  struggle to accurately assess agents’ skill gaps and find  time for the one-on-one coaching that can help improve  agent performance. By introducing automated components — such as scoring  — you can revolutionize how your organization approaches  quality, shifting resources from identifying opportunities to  improve agent performance to actually improving it, and in  turn helping to make every agent your best agent. But your success in using automation is not dependent  on the technology alone — how you introduce the technology  into your organization can be just as important to your  success. A grad...

Title : Go Programming Blueprints Edition :  Year : 2015 Authors :  Mat Ryer Publisher :  Packt Preface I decided to write Go Programming Blueprints because I wanted to expel the myth that  Go, being a relatively young language and community, is a bad choice for writing  and iterating on software quickly. I have a friend who knocks out complete Ruby  on Rails apps in a weekend by mashing up pre-existing gems and libraries; Rails  as a platform has become known for enabling rapid development. Since I do the  same with Go and the ever-growing buffet of open source packages, I wanted to  share some real-world examples of how we can quickly build and release software  that performs great from day one and is ready to scale when our projects take off  in a way that Rails cannot compete with. Of course, most scalability happens outside  the language, but features like Go's built-in concurrency mean you can get some v...
