Running software isn't all about code, some buttons, and some user interaction. There is much more to it. One of the key elements is data. Data is always data; information a user can see and manage. But also something you, the developer, can work with. But the way we can save that data is a whole different story. Where do you save information? How do you retrieve it again? How do you make sure the data is saved? How can my mobile app reach data all over the world? For this, we use (SQL) databases. While Entity Framework is really popular these days I believe it is important to know and understand the basics of the underlying system of Entity Framework Core. That is why we explore SQL before heading to the main guest: Entity Framework Core. This book is for those who want to learn how to use Entity Framework from zero or those who want to learn a little bit extra about this subject. Don't expect 100% coverage on the whole Entity Framework Core subject, because that's impossible. I will give you enough information to work with in a way you can implement Entity Framework in your own application(s). To help you with the practical side, I have included examples and a project which you can download from my GitHub. With this project, you can type along as we are building more aspects of Entity Framework Core in a console application and API. In the end, a developer's time is 75% searching on the internet. Do know that you need to know the basics of C#! Know what variables are, how to create classes and methods, how dependency injection works, how to make decisions, how unit testing works, etc.

Membrane computing is a class of distributed and parallel computing models inspired by living cells. Spiking neural P systems are neural-like membrane computing models, representing an interdisciplinary field between membrane computing and artificial neural networks, and are considered one of the third-generation neural networks. Models and applications constitute two major research topics in spiking neural P systems. The entire book comprises two parts: models and applications. In the model part, several variants of spiking neural P systems and fuzzy spiking neural P systems are introduced. Subsequently, their computational completeness is discussed, encompassing digital generation/accepting devices, function computing devices, and language generation devices. This discussion is advantageous for researchers in the fields of membrane computing, biologically inspired computing, and theoretical computer science, aiding in understanding the distributed computing model of spiking neural P systems. In the application part, the application of spiking neural P systems in time series prediction, image processing, sentiment analysis, and fault diagnosis is examined. This offers a novel method and model for researchers in Artificial Intelligence, data mining, image processing, natural language processing (NLP), and power systems. Simultaneously, it furnishes engineering and technical personnel in these fields with a powerful, efficient, reliable, and user-friendly set of tools and methods.

Architectural thinking is about seeing things with an architect’s eye—in other words, from an architectural point of view. Understanding how a particular change might impact overall scalability, paying attention to how different parts of a system interact, and knowing which third-party libraries and frameworks would be most appropriate for a given situation are all examples of thinking architecturally. Being able to think like an architect first involves understanding what software architecture is and the differences between architecture and design. It then involves having a wide breadth of knowledge to see solutions and possibilities that others do not see; understanding the importance of business drivers and how they translate to architectural concerns; and understanding, analyzing, and reconciling trade-offs between various solutions and technologies. This book provides the first comprehensive overview of software architecture's many aspects. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics. Mark Richards and Neal Ford-hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years-focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks. You'll explore software architecture in a modern light, taking into account all the innovations of the past decade.

This book discusses the role of proofs in mathematics and Computer Science. In mathematics, a proof involves validating a proposition through logical deductions from axioms. Computer scientists focus on demonstrating program accuracy, given the increasing error susceptibility of software. A community of specialists aims to enhance program precision, extending to verifying computer processor chips for leading manufacturers. Creating mathematical models to affirm program validity is an active study area. A proof, in this context, involves a sequence of logical deductions from axioms and established statements, leading to the desired proposition. While crafting proofs may seem daunting, standard templates offer a framework. Some templates can be interconnected, providing both high-level structure and detailed guidance. The Principle of Mathematical Induction is applied to validate algorithms without computer reliance. Sets underpin modern mathematics and software engineering, introduced with language and typical tasks. Primary set operations' understanding enables proof techniques for functions, relations, and graphs, validating algorithms for specific tasks. The book delves into language describing element collections and sets, providing proof templates for comprehension and construction. The book covers common set operations, introduces additional proof templates, and addresses numbering elements and the Principle of Mathematical Induction. This exploration deepens the understanding of mathematical proofs and their role in Computer Science applications.
