Introducing Cisco Unified Computing System
The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) can be found in the majority of data centers across the world. However, getting hands-on practice to learn this infrastructure can be difficult, as many companies will push to have it production-ready as soon as possible. Home-labs are also cost-prohibitive, cumbersome, electricity-hungry, and noisy.So, how do you get hands-on experience? With Unified Computing System Platform Emulator (UCSPE) and this book. UCSPE is free and can run on a laptop. Using it along with this book, you will learn how to set up, manage and troubleshoot a UCS, including the fabric interconnects, chassis and IOMs, and servers through the GUI and the CLI. All from the comfort of your own home. Introducing Cisco Unified Computing System will show you how to set up a UCS (comparing the UCSPE to a real-world deployment), customize the hardware, configure the UCS system, and secure it.You'll start by creating an organization and then the policies to control storage, networking, boot options, maintenance policies, and server pools. Once you have the required policies you'll use them to create service profiles (using the policies) and templates and assign these to the blade and rack-mount servers in the virtual environment. You'll also be looking at real-life scenarios such as upgrades (and downgrades), northbound networking, and Storage Area Networking (SAN) connectivity. Using the GUI and the CLI you'll look at real-world examples that data center engineers may encounter.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Set up the Cisco UCSPE on VMWare* Create UCS service profiles* Secure the UCS system* Troubleshoot the UCSWHO THIS BOOK IS FORDatacenter and network engineers and individuals studying for the CCNA and CCNP Cisco data center qualification.STUART FORDHAM, CCIE 49337, is the Network Manager and Infrastructure Team Leader for SmartCommunications SC Ltd, which is the only provider of a cloud-based, next-generation customer communications platform.

This book will help you build complete solutions that often involve storing data in SharePoint, creating a front-end application in Power Apps or Forms, adding additional functionality with Power Automate, and effective reports and dashboards in Power BI.This new edition greatly expands the focus on Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate, and Teams, along with SharePoint and Microsoft Forms. It starts with the basics of programming and shows how to build a simple email application in .NET, HTML/JavaScript, Power Apps on its own, and Power Apps and Power Automate in combination. It then covers how to connect Power Apps to SharePoint, create an approval process in Power Automate, visualize surveys in Power BI, and create your own survey solution with the combination of a number of Microsoft 365 tools. You’ll work with an extended example that shows how to use Power Apps and SharePoint together to create your own help ticketing system.This book offers a deep dive into Power BI, including working with JSON, XML, and Yes/No data, as well as visualizing learning data and using it to detect inconsistencies between Excel files. You’ll also see how to connect to Remedy and to the help system you will have created. Under author Jeffrey Rhodes’s guidance, you’ll delve into the Power Apps collection to learn how to avoid dreaded "delegation" issues with larger data sets. Back on applications, you will create a training class sign-up solution to only allow users to choose classes with available seats. Digging deeper into Teams, you’ll learn how to send chats, posts, and "adaptive cards" from Power Automate. Rounding things out, you’ll save Forms attachments to SharePoint with Power Automate, create your own "Employee Recognition" app with all of the Power Platform and Teams, add or edit weekly status reports, and learn how to create reservation and scoring applications.After reading the book, you will be able to build powerful applications using Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, SharePoint, Forms, and Teams.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Create productivity-enhancing applications with Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, Forms, and/or Teams* Transform and visualize data with Power BI to include custom columns, measures, and pivots* Avoid delegation issues and tackle complicated Power Apps issues like complex columns, filtering, and ForAll loops* Build scheduled or triggered Power Automate flows to schedule Teams Meetings, send emails, launch approvals, and much moreWHO THIS BOOK IS FORBusiness and application developers.

He also co-wrote The ToolBook Companion. He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife Sue and is the proud father of his sons Derek and Michael.CHAPTER 1. PROGRAMMING IN THE POWER PLATFORMIn this chapter, we will cover the basics of programming: properties, methods, and events. We will then look at how their implementation differs between in each of the Power Platform applications compared with traditional environments like .NET (Windows Forms and ASP.NET) and JavaScript. For Power Apps, we will see how you can set the properties of other objects directly but instead need to make the value of what you want to change (such as the text of a button) a variable and then change the value of that variable elsewhere in the application. We will also explore its Visual Basic-like syntax. In Power Automate, we will look at the different types of actions (variables, loop, parallel branches, conditions, etc.). Finally, in Power BI we will look at the Power Query M formula language.CHAPTER 2. UPDATING A SHAREPOINT LIST USING POWER APPSCHAPTER 3. CREATING AN APPROVAL PROCESS WITH POWER AUTOMATECHAPTER 4.

OVERCOMING POWER APPS DELEGATION ISSUES WITH SHAREPOINT DATA SOURCESIn this chapter, we look at how to use the technique described in https://tinyurl.com/twzvbgl to overcome delegation limits in Power Apps using a SharePoint data source. We also implement a corresponding Power Automate Flow to copy the ID value to a numeric column each time we create a record.CHAPTER 12. CREATING A CLASS SIGN-UP SOLUTION IN SHAREPOINT AND POWER APPSCHAPTER 13. VISUALIZING LEARNING MANAGEMENT DATA FROM SQL SERVER USING POWER BIThis chapter gives several examples of connecting to multiple tables in a SQL Server database in order to visualize test score, completion, assignments and similar learning management data. It demonstrates custom columns, merging tables, slicers, and much more.CHAPTER 14. DYNAMIC INFORMATION IN POWER APPS AND SENDING AN ADAPTIVE CARD TO TEAMS USING POWER AUTOMATEIn this chapter, we create linked SharePoint lists that display status levels, colors, and associated steps. We then read these lists from PowerApps to create a status display that we display in a tab in Teams. Finally, we create a Power Automate flow so that each time the status changes, we automatically post that to our Teams channel.CHAPTER 15. DYNAMICALLY SETTING OBJECT PROPERTIES IN POWER APPS BASED ON A SHAREPOINT LISTIn this chapter, we explore how to approximate dynamic object references/reflection in Power Apps. We take an "Actions" list in SharePoint and use it to set Text, Tooltip, and Visible properties of each corresponding button in Power Apps.CHAPTER 16. UPLOADING FILES FROM POWERAPPS TO SHAREPOINT AND EMAILING LINKS USING POWER AUTOMATEIn this chapter, we see how to upload multiple attachments from Power Apps to a SharePoint document library using Power Automate. While we are in Power Automate, we create an email of links to these documents and email it to the designated recipient.CHAPTER 17. WORKING WITH SHAREPOINT LOOKUP COLUMNS IN POWER BIIn this chapter, we explore how to use the FieldValuesAsText functionality in Power BI to get the data from within a SharePoint Lookup column. We also explore creating custom columns and filtering by Content Type.CHAPTER 18. JOINING SHAREPOINT/EXCEL TABLES IN POWER BIThis chapter shows two different examples on how to join data in Power BI to make effective visualizations. The first example shows how to access lookup columns in SharePoint lists by doing a join on the lists once you bring them into Power BI. The second one is an extended example on how to verify data between two Excel spreadsheets that share a common value. We first show how to accomplish the task with Microsoft Access with a join query and a set of custom columns that reflect whether columns between the two spreadsheets actually match. We then show how it is easier and more reproducible with later data to do the same thing with Power BI using a merge query.CHAPTER 19. COPYING MICROSOFT FORMS ANSWERS TO SHAREPOINT USING POWER AUTOMATE AND THEN SHOWING THE MOST CURRENT SUBMISSION IN POWER BIIn this chapter, we take a simple Microsoft Form, copy each entry to SharePoint with Power Automate, and then visualize the data in Power BI. The main insight on the Power BI side is to show only the most recent form submission by grouping within Power BI, creating a MaxDate column, and then filtering.CHAPTER 20. COPYING MICROSOFT FORMS ATTACHMENTS TO A SHAREPOINT LIST ITEM USING POWER AUTOMATEIn this chapter, we see how to create a group form in Microsoft Forms, create an associated SharePoint List to hold the data, use Power Automate to copy the form responses to the list, and, most importantly, copy each file uploaded with the form and attach it to the corresponding list item.CHAPTER 21. CREATING AN EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION APP IN POWER APPS, POWER AUTOMATE, POWER BI, TEAMS, AND SHAREPOINTIn this chapter, we demonstrate how to create a Power Apps and Power Automate employee recognition solution that can post the recognition to a Teams channel, send a Teams chat, and/or send via email. We try to make it optional for submitters to include their information, finding it works for chats and email but not posts. We store the information in SharePoint and then use Power BI to visualize the values demonstrated and other data.CHAPTER 22. CREATING A RESERVATIONS BOOKING SOLUTION IN POWER APPS AND SHAREPOINTIn this chapter, we demonstrate how to create a SharePoint list of available appointments and then use Power Apps to allow users to select an available appointment and make that not available to anyone else. It also shows how to allow users to edit or delete their appointments (or those created on their behalf).CHAPTER 23. CREATING A SCORING APPLICATION IN POWER APPS AND SHAREPOINTIn this chapter, we create a scoring application where we patch three different SharePoint records at the same time. Along the way, we use cascading drop-down lists, collections, data tables, and variables.

Modern Concurrency on Apple Platforms
Build solid software with modern and safe concurrency features. Concurrency is one of the hardest problems in computer science. For years, computer scientists and engineers have developed different strategies for dealing with concurrency. However, the original concurrency primitives are complicated and difficult to understand, and even harder to implement.Using the new async/await APIs in Swift, this book will explain how your code can abstract a lot of the complexity with a simpler interface so you never have to deal with concurrency primitives such as semaphores, locks, and threads yourself. This will allow you to write concurrent code that is easier to read, easier to write, and easier to maintain. These new APIs are deeply ingrained into Swift, offering compile-level features that will keep you from writing dangerous concurrent code.You’ll start by exploring why concurrency is hard to implement in a traditional system. Explaining the definition of concurrency and what its primitives are will help you understand why they are hard to use correctly. These concepts will become clearer as you work through the sample projects. The book’s focus then shifts exclusively to the new APIs, helping you understand how the integration of the system with the language itself makes it easier for you to write concurrent code without overstepping the bounds of the concurrency safe zone.By the end of the book, you’ll have a solid foundation for working safely with concurrent code using the new async/await APIs.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Understand concurrency and its traditional problems * Work with the new async/await API and all its features, from the basic usage and await keywords, to task groups and async sequences.* Implement modern and safe concurrent code that you can start using right awayWHO THIS BOOK IS FORExperienced iOS developers at a semi-senior or senior level. Knowledge on the Grand Central Dispatch is a bonus, but not required.ANDRÉS “ANDY” IBAÑEZ started writing iOS apps as a young college student in 2011. His first introduction to concurrency programming and its common pitfalls was in an Operating Systems class that introduced the importance (and complexity) of writing concurrent code. Since then, he has studied how this problem is solved in Apple’s platforms, including iOS. Andy has worked in institutions that make use of concurrent technologies to keep their services running for their costumers, including banks, applying the concepts to their mobile applications.
