This book presents the development of a classification scheme to organize and represent ransomware threat knowledge through the implementation of an innovative methodology centered around the semantic annotation of domain-specific source documentation. By combining principles from Computer Science, document management, and semantic data processing, the research establishes an innovative framework to organize ransomware data extracted from specialized source texts in a systematic classification system. Through detailed chapters, the book explores the process of applying semantic annotation to a specialized corpus comprising CVE prose descriptions linked to known ransomware threats. This approach not only organizes but also deeply analyzes these descriptions, uncovering patterns and vulnerabilities within ransomware operations. The book presents a pioneering methodology that integrates CVE descriptions with ATT&CK frameworks, significantly refining the granularity of threat intelligence. The insights gained from a pattern-based analysis of vulnerability-related documentation are structured into a hierarchical model within an ontology framework, enhancing the capability for predictive operations. This model prepares cybersecurity professionals to anticipate and mitigate risks associated with new vulnerabilities as they are cataloged in the CVE list, by identifying recurrent characteristics tied to specific ransomware and related vulnerabilities. With real-world examples, this book empowers its readers to implement these methodologies in their environments, leading to improved prediction and prevention strategies in the face of growing ransomware challenges.

This book is a tutorial on MongoDB customized for developers working in Microsoft .NET 6, .NET 7, and beyond. It explains the differences between relational database systems and the document model supported by MongoDB, and shows how to build .NET applications that run against a MongoDB database, especially one in the cloud. Author Luce Carter kicks things off by teaching you how to determine when to use a document database versus a relational engine. After that, she walks you through building a Microsoft .NET project combining the MongoDB Atlas cloud database as a service solution with a .NET. application. In the process, you will learn how to create, read, update, and delete data in MongoDB from any .NET project. You will come away from this book with a solid understanding of MongoDB’s Developer Data Platform and how to use it from your .NET applications. You’ll be able to connect to MongoDB in the cloud and take advantage of the flexibility and scalability that MongoDB’s document storage model provides, and you’ll understand how to craft your applications to run using document storage and the MongoDB database engine. For .NET developers who are looking for an alternative to relational databases, and those looking for a flexible and scalable document storage solution for use from .NET applications. Additionally, anyone wanting to learn MongoDB in the context of .NET and C# will benefit from this book.

If you need to understand concurrency, this book is your guide to the fundamentals behind the advanced software you seek to implement to achieve highly responsive and scalable code. Support for parallel computation is an essential part of concurrency. Concurrency is an advanced concept and solutions are not straightforward. Many developers have been burned by it and are still being burned by it. This book aims to simplify the concept for C# developers. It tries to simplify the concept using the Task Parallel Library (TPL), Concurrent Collections, Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), Asynchronous Programming Patterns, and related topics. The book starts with an overview of TPL and discusses Tasks. Understanding these areas is necessary to learn the concepts that follow in the book. You will go through special scenarios, such as handling exceptions and cancellations, followed by demonstrations of synchronization techniques and concurrent collections. You will see demonstrations of parallel loops to speed up the computations. And you'll understand PLINQ in detail. Asynchronous programming with async and await keywords is discussed. The book contains “Q&A sessions”, review questions, and exercises (in .NET 8 and C#12). After reading the book, you will be able to understand advanced concepts in parallel programming and implement them in your code. For developers familiar with C# but are absolute beginners for parallel programming.

This is the fourth edition of the popular computer science textbook Java Methods. The book offers a thorough introduction to the concepts and practices of object-oriented programming in Java. It also introduces the most common data structures and related algorithms and their implementations in the Java collections framework. Chapters 1-14 follow the syllabus of the AP Computer Science course. They will prepare you well for the AP CS exam. Chapters 15-18 on file input and output, graphics, graphical user interfaces, and events handling in Java will give you a better sense of real-world Java programming; this material also makes case studies, labs, and exercises more fun. Chapter 19 revisits recursion at a deeper level. Chapter 20 introduces the concepts of look-up tables, sets, and maps, and their implementation in the Java Collections Framework. The last chapter, Computing in Context, discusses creative, responsible, and ethical computer use. The book follows four main threads: Java syntax and style, OOP concepts and techniques, algorithms, and Java libraries. As in the software engineering profession itself, these threads are interwoven into an inseparable braid. Working through this book will not make you a Java expert right away, but it will bring you to the level of an entry-level Java programmer with a better than average understanding of the fundamental concepts. We also emphasize good programming style, an element not mandated by formal Java language specifications but essential for writing readable and professional code. Our labs and case studies aim to demonstrate the most appropriate uses of the programming techniques and data structures we cover.
