This book takes an Infrastructure engineer with PowerShell and Bash coding experience through learning Python. It goes through how Python can be used to code Cloud Automation within products like CloudBolt's CMP or use standalone code to provision cloud-based infrastructure in Private and Public clouds. There are other software options within the market, and of course, you, as a Cloud Automation Engineer are free to develop it all yourself, although that is a daunting task considering all of the touch points. Join us as we unravel the tapestry of Cloud Automation, unveiling its transformative potential in driving efficiency, agility, and scalability across VMware, OpenStack, AWS, Azure, and GCP landscapes. Many Infrastructure engineers may have worked within environments where they are siloed into departments who specialize e.g. Linux engineering or Windows Administrators where the exposure to only Bash with Unix/Linux or PowerShell with Windows. Understanding these scripting languages not only unlocks the potential for system administration but also lays the groundwork for transitioning to more advanced languages like Python for cloud automation. Python is known for its versatility and ease of use, making it an ideal language for a wide range of tasks, including automation. With CloudBolt, where automation plays a pivotal role in managing diverse cloud resources, Python's flexibility allows users to create custom integrations, plugins, and automation scripts tailored to specific needs. Python's extensive libraries and modules facilitate seamless integration with various APIs, tools, and services—essential components when working within a CMP like CloudBolt.

Whatever version of Java you are using, Core Java, Volume I: Fundamentals, Thirteenth Edition, will help you achieve a deep and practical understanding of the language and APIs. With hundreds of realistic examples, Java Champion Cay S. Horstmann demonstrates the most powerful and effective ways to get the job done. The book that you are reading right now is the first volume of the thirteenth edition of Core Java. Each edition closely followed a release of the Java Development Kit, and each time, I rewrote the book to take advantage of the newest Java features. This edition has been updated to reflect the features of Java 21. As with the previous editions, this book still targets serious programmers who want to put Java to work on real projects. I think of you, the reader, as a programmer with a solid background in a programming language other than Java. I assume that you don't like books filled with toy examples (such as toasters, zoo animals, or "nervous text"). You won't find any of these in the book. My goal is to enable you to fully understand the Java language and library, not to give you an illusion of understanding. In this book you will find lots of sample code demonstrating almost every language and library feature. The sample programs are purposefully simple to focus on the major points, but, for the most part, they aren't fake and they don't cut corners. They should make good starting points for your own code.

In this book I write about 100 mistakes that professional software engineers (including myself) have made in their careers. The main purpose of the book is to give you practical and useful knowledge about the decisions that professional face every day and how to avoid the bad decisions. Imagine having at your disposal 100 things that seasoned engineers went through and getting their advise first hand on what you should do. Embarking on a software project without conducting code reviews is a bit like painting with your nose right up against the canvas. You're so focused on the details that you miss the broader strokes that might be going awry. Regularly stepping back, or better yet, having another set of eyes to observe your work, ensures that the final masterpiece is exactly that—a masterpiece. However, like all rules, there are exceptions, and the effectiveness of code reviews can hinge on the structure and trust level within your team. For most projects, skipping code reviews is a guaranteed way to invite trouble. They're a valuable checkpoint, not just for catching bugs but for maintaining a cohesive and readable codebase, sharing knowledge among the team, and ensuring that everyone's coding to the same standards. Think of it as quality control, fresh perspectives, and a learning opportunity all rolled into one.
