Businesses own more data than ever before, but it’s of no value if you don’t know how to use it. Data governance manages the people, processes, and strategy needed for deploying data projects to production. But doing it well is far from easy: Less than one fourth of business leaders say their organizations are data driven. In Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up, you’ll build a cross-functional strategy to create roadmaps and stewardship for data-focused projects, embed data governance into your engineering practice, and put processes in place to monitor data after deployment. In the last decade, the amount of data people produced grew 3,000 percent. Most organizations lack the strategy to clean, collect, organize, and automate data for production-ready projects. Without effective data governance, most businesses will keep failing to gain value from the mountain of data that’s available to them. There’s a plethora of content intended to help DataOps and DevOps teams reach production, but 90 percent of projects trained with Big Data fail to reach production because they lack governance.

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Fourth Edition introduces concepts, principles, and methods for mining patterns, knowledge, and models from various kinds of data for diverse applications. Specifically, it delves into the processes for uncovering patterns and knowledge from massive collections of data, known as knowledge discovery from data , or KDD . It focuses on the feasibility, usefulness, effectiveness, and scalability of data mining techniques for large data sets. After an introduction to the concept of data mining, the authors explain the methods for preprocessing, characterizing, and warehousing data. They then partition the data mining methods into several major tasks, introducing concepts and methods for mining frequent patterns, associations, and correlations for large data sets; data classificcation and model construction; cluster analysis; and outlier detection. Concepts and methods for deep learning are systematically introduced as one chapter. Finally, the book covers the trends, applications, and research frontiers in data mining.

Take a deep dive into the Azure SQL Database Hyperscale Service Tier and discover a new form of cloud architecture from Microsoft that supports massive databases. The new horizontally scalable architecture, formerly code-named Socrates, allows you to decouple compute nodes from storage layers. This radically different approach dramatically increases the scalability of the service. This book shows you how to leverage Hyperscale to provide next-level scalability, high throughput, and fast performance from large databases in your environment. The book begins by showing how Hyperscale helps you eliminate many of the problems of traditional high-availability and disaster recovery architecture. You’ll learn how Hyperscale overcomes storage capacity limitations and issues with scale-up times and costs. With Hyperscale, your costs do not increase linearly with database size and you can manage more data than ever at a lower cost.

This is the story of Microsoft Windows, but told in a different way and from a different perspective. It is the story of the aspirations that Microsoft had for the platform over time. Object-Oriented Programming in the era of “Cairo.” The brief moment when the .NET craze engulfed the company. The touch-first mania of Windows 8. And so much more. The history of Windows can be seen as a series of reactions to competitors, market trends, and internal forces that were seeking change. Along the way, Microsoft worked to improve and adapt Windows to an incredible variety of new uses cases, form factors, and competition. From a milestone perspective, most normally think of the history of Windows as a series of product version releases starting in 1985. That history is well-documented, I think, but since it’s important to our alternate history of application development technologies, it’s perhaps worth considering briefly.

Data Science is a new discipline of research that is gaining growing interest in both industry and academia. As a result, demand is increasing for Data Science programs for a variety of learners from a variety of disciplines (Data Science, Computer Science, statistics, engineering, life science, social science and humanities) and a variety of levels (from school children to academia and industry). While significant efforts are being invested in the development of Data Science curricula, or in other words, in what to teach, only sporadic discussions focus today on the Data Science pedagogy, that is, on how to teach. This is the focus of this guide. This book provides a variety of pedagogical discussions and specific teaching methods and frameworks, as well as includes exercises, and guidelines related to many Data Science concepts (e.g., data thinking and the Data Science workflow), main Machine Learning algorithms and concepts (e.g., KNN, SVM, Neural Networks, performance metrics, confusion matrix, and biases) and Data Science professional topics.

A service-oriented architecture is fundamental to many new IT applications, from web development to social software and cloud computing. The same principles can be applied to every aspect of the service-oriented enterprise – not just in IT. In this book, you’ll explore how an enterprise architecture and viable services can link together to create a simpler yet far more powerful view of the enterprise, as a dynamic, unified whole. You can use the ideas, principles and methods described here in business transformation, workflow mapping, system design and much else besides, in every type of enterprise - including those in which there may be little or no IT at all. Step by step, you’ll walk through the basics of service-oriented architectures, the four key categories of services and how they connect, and how all of this comes together in real-world service design, implementation and operations. By the end of this book, you’ll learn how to construct function models and service models of your enterprise as a base for service-mapping, and how to pinpoint and map the information flows you need for service-management and service-performance, to keep everything on-track to purpose.

What Is Data Mesh? Data mesh is a concept that ensures data access, governance, federation, and interoperability across distributed teams and systems. It is a new approach for designing modern data architectures, based on four principles. The software industry has always been susceptible to trends. Some stick, some pass, but all vie for the limelight in one way or another. Agile, SOA, cloud, data lakes, microservices, DevOps, and event streaming have all had a fundamental effect on the software we build today. Data mesh may well be the next innovation we can add to this list. I see it as a kind of microservices for data architecture. Part technology and part practice, this socio-technical theory aims to let large, interconnected organizations avoid putting all their data into one single place: a pattern that can lead to paralysis. In a data mesh, different applications, pipelines, databases, storage layers, etc., are instead connected through self-service data products, creating a network, or “mesh,” of data that has no central point where teams are forced to wait in line or step on each other’s toes. Such problems plague the monolithic application and the monolithic data warehouse alike.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a query language for relational database management. In this book, you will discover the basics of its organization and its characteristics. Using the PhpMyAdmin environment, you will learn how to create a database, tables, columns, constraints, keys (primary and foreign), joins and many other specificities. SQL has a small set of statements and enables you to select records from one or more tables using the universal SELECT command. Other expressions like UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE will help you to update, insert or delete records. You will also study several functions that manipulate text, dates and numbers. Thanks to the exercises in this book, you will understand how a small set of statements can perform accurate actions and enhance your skills.
