Still chugging along with a monolithic enterprise system that’s difficult to scale and maintain, and even harder to understand? In this concise book, Lightbend CTO Jonas Bonér explains why microservice-based architecture that consists of small, independent services is far more flexible than the traditional all-in-one systems that continue to dominate today’s enterprise landscape.

You’ll explore a microservice architecture, based on Reactive principles, for building an isolated service that’s scalable, resilient to failure, and combines with other services to form a cohesive whole. Specifically, you’ll learn how a Reactive microservice isolates everything (including failure), acts autonomously, does one thing well, owns state exclusively, embraces asynchronous message passing, and maintains mobility.

Bonér also demonstrates how Reactive microservices communicate and collaborate with other services to solve problems. Get a copy of this exclusive report and find out how to bring your enterprise system into the 21st century.

'Getting Things Done' van David Allen is een klassieker op het gebied van productiviteitsmanagement. Arjan Broere en Ruben Verzijl, beiden ervaren GTD-trainers, vatten in 'De kleine Allen' de speerpunten van de methode voor je samen. GTD is het antwoord op het probleem waar velen mee worstelen: te veel te doen in te weinig tijd. De methode helpt je snel informatie te filteren en te prioriteren. Bovendien is het een waterdicht systeem om alleen dat wat je nu moet doen op de radar te hebben en tóch niets te vergeten. Zo ben je weer bezig met wat echt belangrijk is, en met volledige focus. Doordat je voor meer controle en focus in je leven zorgt, krijg je meer ruimte voor creativiteit - want je hoofd is om over dingen na te denken en niet om aan dingen te denken. 'Een waardevolle toevoeging aan ieders collectie op het gebied van persoonlijke productiviteit'.

Software is everywhere today, but countless software products and projects die a slow death without ever making any impact. The result is a tremendous amount of time and money wasted due to wrong assumptions, lack of focus, poor communication of objectives, lack of understanding and misalignment with overall goals. There has to be a better way to deliver!

This handbook is a practical guide to impact mapping, a simple yet incredibly effective method for collaborative strategic planning that helps organisations make an impact with software. Impact mapping helps to create better plans and roadmaps that ensure alignment of business and delivery, and are easily adaptable to change. Impact mapping fits nicely into several current trends in software product management and release planning, including goal-oriented requirements engineering, frequent iterative delivery, agile and lean software methods, lean startup product development cycles, and design thinking.

It’s pretty common for a modern developer to have a database console, web server, and a text editor running at the same time. Switching between these with the mouse takes up valuable time and can break your concentration. By using tmux, you can improve your productivity and regain your focus. This book will show you how.

You’ll learn how to manage multiple terminal sessions within tmux using only your keyboard. You’ll see how to manage and run programs side-by-side in panes, and you’ll learn how to create the perfect development environment with custom scripts so that when you’re ready to work, your programs are waiting for you. Then you’ll discover how to manipulate text with tmux’s copy and paste buffers. Once you’ve got the basics down, you’ll discover how easy it is to use tmux to collaborate remotely with others. Finally, you’ll explore more advanced usage as you manage multiple tmux sessions, add custom scripts into the tmux status line, and integrate tmux with your system.

Whether you’re an application developer or a system administrator, you’ll find many useful tricks and techniques to help you take control of your terminal.

What would it be like to program in a language without the frustrating concept of null? In our new book, Maybe Haskell, we explore exactly this. Haskell takes the idea that some values may not be present and makes it a first-class concept in the type system. In this book, you'll learn just enough Haskell to really see how this idea works in practice.
