This book will teach you how to create flexible modular frontends which are easier to maintain using micro frontends architecture. Micro frontends architecture is a way of avoiding the current industry trend of creating heavy monolith front-ends. These are monolith front-ends which are difficult to change and maintain because they have organically grown into intertwined large frontend applications. In this course, Micro Frontends Architecture, you will learn how to create flexible modular frontends which are easier to maintain using micro frontends architecture. First, you will learn what micro frontends architecture is and why there is a need for it. Next, you will discover the main design principles for micro frontends architecture. Finally, you will explore what technologies and techniques are available to implement micro frontends architecture. When you're finished with this course, you will have the knowledge of the micro frontends architectural style required to implement a modular, flexible frontend application thats easier to maintain and extend.

Three Flights Down is a pure work of fiction that bears little or no resemblance to events in real life. After all, which fiction novelist is going to say his book is based on a true story? I for example, clearly am not. But if you, the reader, have by chance picked up this book, know this. This book is about love. Not the kind of love that we see every day, but a different kind of love, a love that finds place in-between sheets and in between friendships. It is about a city and it is about a society that is yet to come to terms with the fact that its era has long gone while yet remaining hopeful for a future which is yet to come. It's a story about people who live in a city and get trapped by the sheer emotional whirlwind that comes with it. It also has jokes.

'And, she's from Jupiter' sketches three College-going girls, Anjali Mohanta, Aisha Fatima, and Amelia Sylvester, whose online profiles get tagged in weird posts. The tagging then continues with tags #YourTurnBabe, #NextYouMiss, #YouGettheSame These posts clue them in on a lot of things about their recent past.This Young Adult - Suspense Thriller fiction novel portrays the story of solving the mysterious hashtags, the reason behind the posts/hashtags.'And, she's from Jupiter' underlines the safety and security of teenage girls and women at the end of the story.

This book will explain how to apply domain-driven design concepts in a project with Spring Boot 2.0.6 and how to combine them with practices, such as unit testing (test driven development), relational databases and object relational mappers like JPA(Java Persistence API). We will see step by step how to grow an application from the very beginning to a full-fledged solution with DDD principles. Finally there will be two projects, one (static web project using jQuery & HTML) for user interface and another (Spring Boot + REST + JPA project) for API, logic and persistence.You will see the full process of building a software project using concepts such as entities, value objects, aggregates, repositories, bounded contexts, and domain events. In the way I will explain why we make one decision over another. You will learn what DDD concepts are applicable in which particular case and why it is so. We will see, how to apply the domain-driven design principles in a real world application.Book Outline and Prerequisites: IntroductionStarting with the First Bounded ContextIntroducing UI and Persistence LayersExtending the Bounded Context with AggregatesIntroducing RepositoriesIntroducing the Second Bounded ContextWorking with Domain EventsLooking Forward to Further EnhancementsBook Summary: Full application from scratchDomain modelingDDD concepts in practiceSpring BootDatabase and ORMUnit testingMVC

We will see the patterns, how things can go wrong, and how to deal with the situation. This book is divided into below mentioned modules. Introducing the Executor Pattern, Futures and CallablesUsing Locks and Semaphores for the Producer / Consumer PatternControlling Concurrent Applications Using Barriers and LatchesUnderstanding Compare and Swap (CASing) and Atomic VariablesLeveraging Concurrent Collections to Simplify Application DesignIf you follow me, at the end of this book, you will have a good idea of the ExecutorService Patterns and callables, and futures, what is interruptible or timed out lock acquisition, what are logs, semaphores, barriers, and latches, and what is CASing, and atomic variables. And at last, we will see the concurrent collections, copy and write release, concurrent hashmaps, and concurrent skip lists. But before you move on, you would like to be familiar with the Java language and the collection API. You also need some knowledge of concurrency and be able to write basic lambda expressions. Yes, this is an ambitious ride, but don't be afraid. Just let me guide you through all this, and you will see that from the other side, concurrencies, in fact, not that scary.

There are a lot of misconceptions around the CQRS pattern, especially when it comes to applying it in real-world software projects. In this book, CQRS, you will learn all about CQRS with event sourcing, database configuration for reads and writes, and more. First, you will learn exactly what CQRS is, the principles behind it, and the benefits it can provide for your project. Next, you will explore the common misconceptions and anti-patterns around CQRS. Finally, you will see a detailed, step-by-step implementation of this pattern in practice. The sample project you'll be working on is close to what you will find in the real world, and you will see each step on the way to CQRS in great detail. By the end of this book, you will have a foundational understanding of the CQRS pattern and how to implement it in your software projects.

In this book you will learn how to architect complex software using microservices architecture, so that it's flexible, scalable, and a competitive piece of software. And after completing this book, you will automatically start to think differently about software design and your architectural skills will become even stronger with a core set of design principles that will aid you to architect better software.Microservices architecture is a better way of implementing a service oriented architecture. After years of varying interpretations of a service oriented architecture, microservices is the conclusive design which provides all the advantages of the service oriented architecture approach. This book introduces microservices, discusses design, lists technology considerations, and highlights how to move forwards with microservices.This book is split up into four modules. This first module will focus on introducing microservices and on introducing the design principles associated with microservices architecture. The second module will then look at the design approach that can be taken in order to implement the microservices design principles. On completion of the second module, how to implement the microservice will become clear. The third module of the book will focus on the technology that can be used to implement microservices. Many types of technology are suggested because the architectural theory in this book can apply to any platform. The final module of the book covers how you can move forward with microservices, both in a brownfield situation and in a greenfield situation. A brown field situation is where you're going to move an existing system forward with microservices architecture. In a greenfield situation, you're basically developing a new system from scratch using microservices architecture.
