Low-level user-mode programming for Windows usually involves working with the documented Windows API, exported from subsystem DLLs, such as Kernel32.dll, user32.dll, advapi32.dll, kernelbase.dll, and more. Lurking beneath most of these APIs are system calls, invoked under the covers to access the kernel. Anything worthwhile in Windows (or any other OS for that matter) must talk to the kernel to get system-level things done, such as allocating memory, creating processes and threads, performing I/O operations, and more. The native API, implemented in a couple of DLLs is used to make the transition to the kernel. The most important one is NtDll.dll - a system wide user-mode DLL that serves this critical role. This book is about this DLL’s API, as it pertains to invoking system calls that transition the processor to kernel-mode to perform the requested operation. Other APIs discussed are not system calls per-se, but are still part of NtDll, and are interesting to get to know. Most of these functions start with Rtl (Runtime Library). As a simple example, the CreateFile documented Windows API (provided by kernel32.dll) invokes NtCreateFile in NtDll.Dll to ask the kernel to perform the operation. Most of the native APIs are undocumented - hence this book. The sample code for this book can be found on Github. The book is for anyone interested in learning about the Windows native API provided by NtDll.dll. The reader should have a solid understanding of the foundations of Windows, such as processes, threads, virtual memory, and DLLs. Also recommended is a good familiarity of the Windows documented API.

This book gives many examples which help you to write clean code. For more information like principles, patterns, techniques, and tools have a look at my book Clean Code Fundamentals. Nothing affects the work of a team as much as bad, illegible, sloppy, and quickly written code that has not been designed carefully. Team dynamics can be improved, requirements can be redefined, and the schedule can be modified. However, if bad code takes over, it becomes more and more a burden for the team. Programmers should develop all the time. Even if they think that they have sufficient skills and knowledge to move around in current projects, they should not stop there, and it is worthwhile for them to learn new concepts, approaches, language, and frameworks from time to time. Learning should be a journey and not a destination. This book discusses the best practices of writing better code. It also contains many code examples in Java of increasing complexity. The book will use the latest Java version for the examples provided.

LangChain and LlamaIndex introduce new paradigms for developing software by blending together Large Language Models and conventional software written in Python. LangChain is a framework for hooking large language models like GPT-4 together, and adding processing steps that might be web search, database lookups, calling APIs, etc. This is a tutorial on effectively using LLMs and a projects book that will provide you with ideas and projects to get you started. Most book examples require either an OpenAI or Hugging Face API keys (free tiers are sufficient). New examples (added 2024) include running local models using Ollama. Large language models are a subset of Artificial Intelligence that use Deep Learning and neural networks to process natural language. Transformers are a type of neural network architecture that can learn context in sequential data using self-attention mechanisms. LangChain is a framework for building applications with large language models (LLMs) through chaining different components together. Some of the applications of LangChain are chatbots, generative question-answering, summarization, data-augmented generation and more. LangChain can save time in building chatbots and other systems by providing a standard interface for chains, agents and memory, as well as integrations with other tools and end-to-end examples.

If you're going to move up, you need master the art of source control, code reviews, DevOps, monitoring, reporting, project management, and, oh yeah, other people. I got you. There is a rush that comes over you when you're responsible for shipping software for your client or boss. You have delivered, brought value, and made an impact. This is why we do this job: building software and changing the lives of the users that use it. Sure, coding is fun, but shipping is magical. It takes more than just drive and determination. As a senior developer or project lead, you have to know your tools and processes. Source control management, Agile practices, container orchestration, how to test correctly, and how to debug a crashing application in a very short amount of time. These skills are cultivated over time, and if you're lucky, you have a lead who is showing you how to do these things, hopefully the right way. If you're unlucky, like I was, you're teaching yourself, learning on the fly. If that's you, then this book is for you. I’m going to start at the very beginning, discussing source control and the nuances of using it and, as you might expect, I’ll be focusing on Git. It’s become the de facto source control provider and even if you disagree and hate it, it’s still something you’ll need to know if you’re going to work on a team in the software industry. The power of Docker lies in its speed and simplicity. You can create a container to do just about anything, from running Node, Python or Ruby scripts to housing your application data. In fact, you can do it all at once! Each service can do its thing and communicate with other services using some kind of message transport. This practice is called microservices, and I’m getting ahead of myself talking about it right now. We’ll discuss it in a later chapter, but I felt it was a good example of how Docker has upended software development and created entirely new ways to build an application. And it all starts with the idea of orchestrating these containers together. That’s what we’ll get into in this chapter, and we’re going to start out gracefully using Docker Compose and then ramp it up to more industrial strength solutions, including Kubernetes and “cloud native” offerings from the Big Cloud Providers. Welcome to the wild, fun world of DevOps!

This allows you to obtain a basic knowledge of coding practices without having to obsess over smaller details that are often important in other languages. Let’s suppose you want to get some information from a website? Let’s say an article from the geeksforgeeks website or some news article, what will you do? The first thing that may come in your mind is to copy and paste the information into your local media. But what if you want a large amount of data on a daily basis and as quickly as possible. In such situations, copy and paste will not work and that’s where you’ll need web scraping. In this book, we will discuss how to perform web scraping using the requests library and Beautiful Soup library in Python.
