Learn the fundamentals of serverless applications and how to take advantage of time-tested Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build scalable apps. This book shows you how to work with the key features of your applications with minimum code, simple CLI commands and one-click deployments. You'll see how to manage authentication, standard UI components, database storage, filesystem, CI/CD pipeline and more. You'll also examine the architecture, strengths, scalability, and limitations of serverless, and how to use AWS Amplify effectively. You will use tools including React, Cognito, GraphQL, DynamoDB, Kinesis, and Sagemaker. AWS Amplify is the fastest and easiest way to build serverless web and mobile apps at scale, comprising tools and services that work independently and can be wired together to build scalable apps. What You'll Learn Build GraphQL and REST APIsModel data with Amplify DatastoresSet up a CI/CD pipeline with AmplifyRecord and make sense of user data analytics with KinesisBoost your application with AI/ML capability using Sagemaker Who This Book Is ForDevelopers who have worked on web technologies and want to learn how to build serverless applications and developers interested in making powerful applications using AWS that can then be wired using AWS Amplify.

Get to grips with the fundamentals of the Ruby programming language and learn how to build your own applications with the help of real-world examples and hands-on activitiesKey FeaturesLearn the fundamentals of Ruby object-oriented programming (OOP)Use the Ruby on Rails framework to build interactive web applicationsDiscover how to quickly build complex programs with fewer lines of codeBook DescriptionThe beauty of Ruby is its readability and expressiveness. Ruby hides away a lot of the complexity of programming, allowing you to work quickly and 'do more' with fewer lines of code. This makes it a great programming language for beginners, but learning any new skill can still be a daunting task. If you want to learn to code using Ruby, but don't know where to start, The Ruby Workshop will help you cut through the noise and make sense of this fun, flexible language.You'll start by writing and running simple code snippets and Ruby source code files. After learning about strings, numbers, and booleans, you'll see how to store collections of objects with arrays and hashes. You'll then learn how to control the flow of a Ruby program using boolean logic.The book then delves into OOP and explains inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. Gradually, you'll build your knowledge of advanced concepts by learning how to interact with external APIs, before finally exploring the most popular Ruby framework ? Ruby on Rails ? and using it for web development.Throughout this book, you'll work on a series of realistic projects, including simple games, a voting application, and an online blog. By the end of this Ruby book, you'll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively tackle your own ambitious projects with Ruby.What you will learnMaster the syntax and features of Ruby to build useful applicationsUse common design patterns to simplify code and improve efficiencyUnderstand how to implement object-oriented programming with RubyExplore ways to fetch, process, and output dataWork with public APIs and create reusable RubyGemsDebug code to troubleshoot application behaviorCreate interactive web applications with Ruby on RailsWho this book is forThe Ruby Workshop is designed for anyone who is new to Ruby and wants a practical introduction to the language. Whether you're completely new to programming, or have experience in another language and want to broaden your skillset, this book will quickly get you up and running.

Develop native iOS and Android apps with ease using React Native. Learn by doing through an example-driven approach, and have a substantial running app at the end of each chapter. This second edition is fully updated to include ES7 (ECMAScript 7), the latest version of React Native (including Redux), and development on Android. You will start by setting up React Native and exploring the anatomy of React Native apps. You'll then move on to Redux data flow, how it differs from flux, and how you can include it in your React Native project to solve state management differently and efficiently. You will also learn how to boost your development by including popular packages developed by the React Native community that will help you write less; do more. Finally, you'll learn to how write test cases using Jest and submit your application to the App Store. React Native challenges the status quo of native iOS and Android development with revolutionary components, asynchronous execution, unique methods for touch handling, and much more. This book reveals the the path-breaking concepts of React.js and acquaints you with the React way of thinking so you can learn to create stunning user interfaces. What You'll LearnBuild stunning iOS and Android applicationsUnderstand the Redux design pattern and use it in your projectInteract with iOS and android device capabilities such as addressbook, camera, GPS and more with your appsTest and launch your application to the App StoreWho This Book Is ForAnyone with JavaScript experience who wants to build native mobile applications but dreads the thought of programming in Objective-C or Java.
