Develop and Operate Your LoRaWAN IoT Nodes
LoRaWAN has developed excellently as a communication solution in the IoT. The Things Network (TTN) has contributed to this. The Things Network was upgraded to The Things Stack Community Edition (TTS (CE)). The TTN V2 clusters were closed towards the end of 2021.In this book, I will show you the necessary steps to operate LoRaWAN nodes using TTS (CE) and maybe extend the network of gateways with an own gateway. Meanwhile, there are even LoRaWAN gateways suitable for mobile use with which you can connect to the TTN server via your cell phone.I present several commercial LoRaWAN nodes and new, low-cost and battery-powered hardware for building autonomous LoRaWAN nodes.Registering LoRaWAN nodes and gateways in the TTS (CE), providing the collected data via MQTT and visualization via Node-RED, Cayenne, Thingspeak, and Datacake enable complex IoT projects and completely new applications at very low cost.This book will enable you to provide and visualize data collected with battery-powered sensors (LoRaWAN nodes) wirelessly on the Internet. You will learn the basics for smart city and IoT applications that enable, for example, the measurement of air quality, water levels, snow depths, the determination of free parking spaces (smart parking), and the intelligent control of street lighting (smart lighting), among others.Dr. Claus Kühnel studied information technology at the Technical University of Dresden. He has developed embedded systems for laboratory diagnostic devices, among others. In this interdisciplinary field he came in touch with the maker scene. Passionate about new technologies around microcontrollers, he is the author of numerous articles and books on microcontroller hardware and software in Germany and abroad.
The Definitive Guide to Security in Jakarta EE
Refer to this definitive and authoritative book to understand the Jakarta EE Security Spec, with Jakarta Authentication & Authorization as its underlying official foundation. Jakarta EE Security implementations are discussed, such as Soteria and Open Liberty, along with the build-in modules and Jakarta EE Security third-party modules, such as Payara Yubikey & OIDC, and OmniFaces JWT-Auth.The book discusses Jakarta EE Security in relation to SE underpinnings and provides a detailed explanation of how client-cert authentication over HTTPS takes place, how certifications work, and how LDAP-like names are mapped to caller/user names. General (web) security best practices are presented, such as not storing passwords in plaintext, using HTTPS, sanitizing inputs to DB queries, encoding output, and explanations of various (web) attacks and common vulnerabilities are included.Practical examples of securing applications discuss common needs such as letting users explicitly log in, sign up, verify email safely, explicitly log in to access protected pages, and go direct to the log in page. Common issues are covered such as abandoning an authentication dialog halfway and later accessing protected pages again.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Know what Jakarta/Java EE security includes and how to get started learning and using this technology for today's and tomorrow's enterprise Java applications* Secure applications: traditional server-side web apps built with JSF (Faces) as well as applications based on client-side frameworks (such as Angular) and JAX-RS* Work with the daunting number of security APIs in Jakarta EE* Understand how EE security evolvedWHO THIS BOOK IS FORJava developers using Jakarta EE and writing applications that need to be secured (every application). Basic knowledge of Servlets and CDI is assumed.

Introducing Charticulator for Power BI
Create stunning and complex visualizations using the amazing Charticulator custom visuals in Power BI.Charticulator offers users immense power to generate visuals and graphics. To a beginner, there are myriad settings and options that can be combined in what feels like an unlimited number of combinations, giving it the unfair label, “the DAX of the charting world”. This is not true.This book is your start-to-finish guide to using Charticulator, a custom visualization software that Microsoft integrated into Power BI Desktop so that Power BI users can create incredibly powerful, customized charts and graphs. You will learn the concepts that underpin the software, journeying through every building block of chart design, enabling you to combine these parts to create spectacular visuals that represent the story of your data.Unlike other custom Power BI visuals, Charticulator runs in a separate application window within Power BI with its own interface and requires a different set of interactions and associated knowledge. This book covers the ins and outs of all of them.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Generate inspirational and technically competent visuals with no programming or other specialist technical knowledge* Create charts that are not restricted to conventional chart types such as bar, line, or pie* Limit the use of diverse Power BI custom visuals to one Charticulator custom visual* Alleviate frustrations with the limitations of default chart types in Power BI, such as being able to plot data on only one categorical axis* Use a much richer set of options to compare different sets of data* Re-use your favorite or most often used chart designs with Charticulator templatesWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThe average Power BI user. It assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader other than being able to open Power BI desktop, import data, and create a simple Power BI visual. User experiences may vary, from people attending a Power BI training course to those with varying skills and abilities, from SQL developers and advanced Excel users to people with limited data analysis experience and technical skills.ALISON BOX is a director of Burningsuit Ltd and an IT trainer and consultant with over 30 years of experience delivering computer applications training to people at all skill levels, from basic users to advanced technical experts. Currently, she specializes in delivering training in Microsoft Power BI Service and Desktop, Data Modeling, DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), and Excel. Alison also works with organizations as a DAX and Data Analysis consultant. Part of her job entails promoting Burningsuit as a knowledge base for Power BI and includes writing regular blog posts on all aspects of Power BI that are published on her website. When Charticulator was incorporated into Power BI in April 2021, she felt there was a need for more detailed documentation that takes the learner from no knowledge to being able to design complex and challenging visuals. With this in mind, she started to write a series of blog posts but soon realized the sheer weight of information regarding Charticulator had outgrown the blog post approach and that writing a book might be more helpful as a means to understanding Charticulator. This book is the result of her own journey of discovery in learning how to use Charticulator.Chapter 1 – Introduction to CharticulatorChapter 2 – Marks, Symbols & LinesChapter 3 – Binding DataChapter 4 – Using SymbolsChapter 5 – 2D Region Plot SegmentsChapter 6 – Using Two Categorical AxesChapter 7 – Using Numerical AxesChapter 8 – Charticulator ExpressionsChapter 9 – Scales & LegendsChapter 10 – Guides & AnchoringChapter 11 – Working with Multiple 2D Region Plot SegmentsChapter 12 – Horizontal & Vertical Line ScaffoldsChapter 13 – Polar ScaffoldsChapter 14 – Plotting Multiple MeasuresChapter 15 – Links & Data LinkingChapter 16 – The Line Plot SegmentChapter 17 – Templates & Nested ChartsChapter 18 – Integrating with Power BIChapter 19 – Taking it to the Next Level
