Explore the concepts and techniques that are essential for designing, optimizing, and maintaining SSD (solid state drive) firmware. This book discusses the role of firmware in the functioning of SSDs and the importance of keeping firmware up to date to ensure optimal performance and security. The book starts with an introduction to SSD firmware and its role in SSDs. You will then learn basic NAND operations and common firmware features, followed by various design considerations and best practices for optimizing and maintaining SSD firmware. Moving ahead, you will learn some of the advanced features that are included in modern SSD firmware, such as wear leveling algorithms, garbage collection algorithms, error prevention and correction methods, and algorithms to reduce write amplification. User data flow and exception handling are discussed next, along with performance and debugging. To wrap things up, you will gain insight into possible future developments and innovations in SSD firmware. For SSDs to work properly and help us with tasks, they rely on both hardware and firmware. The hardware consists of the physical components of the device, such as the processor, memory, and storage. The firmware, meanwhile, is the software that runs on the device and controls the hardware. It is responsible for ensuring that the device performs its designated tasks and functions properly.

This book provides a deep understanding of the relationship between machine learning and causal inference. It covers a broad range of topics, starting with the preliminary foundations of causal inference, which include basic definitions, illustrative examples, and assumptions. It then delves into the different types of classical causal inference methods, such as matching, weighting, tree-based models, and more. Additionally, the book explores how Machine Learning can be used for causal effect estimation based on representation learning and graph learning. The contribution of causal inference in creating trustworthy machine learning systems to accomplish diversity, non-discrimination and fairness, transparency and explainability, generalization and robustness, and more is also discussed. The book also provides practical applications of causal inference in various domains such as natural language processing, recommender systems, computer vision, time series forecasting, and continual learning. Each chapter of the book is written by leading researchers in their respective fields.

This book is my answer to the question: how to teach React to a complete beginner, in as little time as possible? Need to learn the basics quickly? This is your book. React is a library for the web, written in the jаvascript language. The purpose of this library is to code the UI of our websites. To be more efficient working with React, I highly recommend installing React Developer Tools in your browser of choice. If you’re starting this book, I expect you at least have Node.js and NPM installed on your machine. I’m also assuming that you did use a code editor before, and that you’re comfortable, or at least familiar with VS Code. Still, a level of knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JS will go a long way. The more you know the above three technologies, the easier this book will be. Specifically, here is the minimum HTML, CSS, and jаvascript that you need to understand for this book to really be useful to you. In Chapter 4, I’ll be coding a Bootstrap layout, so it would be beneficial for you to either know the Bootstrap framework or read through the documentation at the official Bootstrap website. React is built on top of jаvascript. Thus, in order to be able to code in React, the more jаvascript you know, the better.

Learn how to implement smaller, more secure public key protocols with this accessible guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography. Elliptic Curve Cryptography for Developers introduces a powerful alternative to the prime number-based RSA encryption standard based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. This book empowers anyone who knows basic calculus to implement state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols that are smaller and more secure than RSA-based systems. It gradually introduces the concepts and subroutines you’ll need to master with diagrams, flow charts, and accessible language. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is the powerful security protocol used for everything from credit card transitions to the blockchain. The results are amazing; ECC delivers zero knowledge proofs and aggregated multi-signatures with smaller key sizes than the prime number-based RSA standard. This reader-friendly book guides you step-by-step until you’re ready to write embedded systems code with advanced mathematical algorithms. Each chapter covers new mathematical concepts, all clearly illustrated with graphics, example code, and exercises to build your understanding of the complex ideas. Finally, you’ll put all your ideas into action by building two hands-on blockchain software projects. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll know the basics and be ready to take the step to more advanced capabilities.

Python has so many libraries that people often forget to take their time to learn about all the really interesting and useful features that Python offers. The Pydon'ts teach you these core features of Python, with plenty of code examples to show you how these features are used in real code in the real world. Python was not my first programming language, and I remember picking it up as a friend of mine recommended it to me. Now, many years later, I still enjoy writing Python code, whether for work-related reasons or for my own projects. In programming, much like in mathematics – my main area of expertise –, there is a sense of elegance in the code (or proofs) we write. As I learned more and more about programming in general and Python in particular, I developed a sense for what I consider to be elegant Python programs. This is one of the things I intend to share in this book: tips on how to write beautiful Python programs. Of course, the notion of elegance is a subjective one, so it may very well be the case that what I find elegant is not what you find elegant, and that is perfectly fine. In general, neither one of us will be wrong. Tied to my effort of sharing my interpretation of what elegant Python programs look like, I also want you to learn about all the nooks and crannies of the core language. Python is a very, very, rich language, and the more you learn about it, the more well equipped you will be to use it to its full potential. That is why every chapter focuses on exploring a single feature of the core language of Python, which is always accompanied by usage examples of said feature. Some times we will look at how Python’s own Standard Library makes use of that feature, other times I will show some of my own code, and other times I will even come up with random examples.
