Der Zufall in Physik, Informatik und Philosophie
Zufall als Fundament der Welt, aus der Buchreihe "Die blaue Stunde der Informatik".Der Zufall ist uns unheimlich. Wir dachten, es gäbe ihn nicht, hinter allem stehe Gott oder eine vernünftige Erklärung. Aber wir wissen heute: Es gibt ihn. Wir wissen, dass vieles dessen, was uns umgibt und das wir nicht durchschauen, trotzdem kausal abläuft. Anders als zu Zeiten der Aufklärung gedacht, ist der Zufall um uns eher die Regel als die gesetzmäßige Ordnung. Die Wolken sind Fraktale, die Wellen auf dem Meer sind eine reine Zufallsmaschinerie. Der Philosoph Charles Peirce hat genau in diesem Sinn noch vor Quanten- und Chaostheorie die fundamentale Bedeutung des Zufalls erkannt und der Lehre ihren Namen gegeben: Tychismus.Ohne Zufall gäbe es nichts Neues, kein Leben, keine Kreativität, keine Geschichte.Dieses Buch betrachtet den Zufall aus Sicht der Physik, der Informatik und der Philosophie. Es spannt den Bogen von der Antike zur Quantenphysik und zeigt, dass der Zufall fest in die Welt eingebaut ist und es sie ohne Zufall nicht gäbe.Dr. Walter Hehl ist vielseitiger Physiker und Autor recht verschiedener Bücher zu IT, Management, Religion, Philosophie und zur Geschichte der Wissenschaft. Sein Buch über Galilei erhielt 2019 den Preis der Woitschach-Stiftung für das beste kritische, aber faire Wissenschaftsbuch.

Technology was changing fast and Gunnard rode the wave from 1200 to 56k baud modems. Logging in to BBSs, Prodigy, Compuserve, Delphi and IRC he could see the world changing and he wanted to be a part of it. He soon got involved in the ansi/demo scene, making several application generators for many groups in the 90’s. Visual Basic was the next language of choice allowing him to develop “tools” for online systems such as AOL. This introduced many aspects of development, security and UI while they were still in their infancy. Once the WWW arrived via Mindspring in Atlanta, Ga. Gunnard quickly joined in the race for the web. Learning HTML, PERL and Linux (Slackware at the time) he began to build his skill-set which lead to a full-time Sysadmin position at the age of 20 (2000) at Activegrams/Silverpop. Gunnard has moved around the IT industry from SAN/NAS storage at IBM to custom Wordpress sites for marketing companies, but one thing has stayed the same, a passion for learning and problem solving.

MySQL Concurrency
Know how locks work in MySQL and how they relate to transactions. This book explains the major role that locks play in database systems, showing how locks are essential in allowing high-concurrency workloads. You will learn about lock access levels and lock granularities from the user level as well as table locks to record and gap locks. Most importantly, the book covers troubleshooting techniques when locking becomes a pain point.Several of the lock types in MySQL have a duration of a transaction. For this reason, it is important to understand how transactions work. This book covers the basics of transactions as well as transaction isolation levels and how they affect locking. The book is meant to be your go-to resource for solving locking contention and similar problems in high-performance MySQL database applications.Detecting locking issues when they occur is the first key to resolving such issues. MySQL Concurrency provides techniques for detecting locking issues such as contention. The book shows how to analyze locks that are causing contention to see why those locks are in place. A collection of six comprehensive case studies combine locking and transactional theory with realistic lock conflicts. The case studies walk you through the symptoms to look for in order to identify which issue you are facing, the cause of the conflict, its analysis, solution, and how to prevent the issue in the future.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Understand which lock types exist in MySQL and how they are used* Choose the best transaction isolation level for a given transaction* Detect and analyze lock contention when it occurs* Reduce locking issues in your applications* Resolve deadlocks between transactions* Resolve InnoDB record-level locking issues* Resolve issues from metadata and schema locksWHO THIS BOOK IS FORDatabase administrators and SQL developers who are familiar with MySQL and want to gain a better understanding of locking and transactions as well as how to work with them.

Patterns in the Machine
Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robust firmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches. In the authors’ experience, traditional embedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their target hardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully integrated software and hardware. Patterns in the Machine focuses on creating loosely coupled implementations that embrace both change and testability.This book illustrates how implementing continuous integration, automated unit testing, platform-independent code, and other best practices that are not typically implemented in the embedded systems world is not just feasible but also practical for today’s embedded projects.After reading this book, you will have a better idea of how to structure your embedded software projects. You will recognize that while writing unit tests, creating simulators, and implementing continuous integration requires time and effort up front, you will be amply rewarded at the end of the project in terms of quality, adaptability, and maintainability of your code.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Incorporate automated unit testing into an embedded project* Design and build functional simulators for an embedded project* Write production-quality software when hardware is not available* Use the Data Model architectural pattern to create a highly decoupled design and implementation* Understand the importance of defining the software architecture before implementation starts and how to do it* Discover why documentation is essential for an embedded project* Use finite state machines in embedded projectsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORMid-level or higher embedded systems (firmware) developers, technical leads, software architects, and development managers.John Taylor has been an embedded developer for over 29 years.

SAP, The Agile Way
Praxisbewährte Tipps für die erfolgreiche agile Arbeit mit weltweit verteilten SAP-Teams.Der weltweit tätige SAP-Berater und Agile Coach Klaus Wybranietz zerlegt in diesem Buch das hartnäckige Vorurteil: »Ja, Scrum ist toll, aber mit SAP funktioniert das nicht.« Er beweist nämlich seit Jahren das Gegenteil: Scrum und SAP können auf einen Nenner gebracht werden – und das sogar sehr erfolgreich. Denn in seinen Projekten für internationale Großkonzerne hat Klaus Wybranietz immer wieder die Erfahrung gemacht: Selbst über den Globus verteilte SAP-Teams können mit Scrum in der halben Zeit dreimal so effektiv sein.In diesem Buch erklärt der Autor die Entwicklungsstufen, über die er SAP-Teams aus dem klassischen Wasserfalldenken heraus und stattdessen hinein in die agile Performance führt. Das fängt beim Teambuilding trotz Superstars an, führt über den Aufbau von gezielten Kompetenzen und hilfreichen Regelwerken bis hin zum Schaffen echter Kundenwerte durch die Anwendung von Kanban-Metriken. Das alles funktioniert seit vielen Jahren auch mit weltweit verteilten SAP-Teams – »Ja, aber …« hat als Argument somit ausgedient.AUS DEM INHALT //- SAP und Scrum – das geht doch nicht?- Die Grundlagen von Scrum- Mit verteilten SAP-Teams remote arbeiten- Mit agilen SAP-Teams starten- Skalierung mit dem Agile Working Model 4 SAP- Praktiken für fortgeschrittene agile SAP-Teams
