Python for Secret Agents - Volume II
Gather, analyze, and decode data to reveal hidden facts using Python, the perfect tool for all aspiring secret agentsAbout This Book• Discover the essential features of Python programming: statements, variables, expressions, and many of the built-in data types• Use Python's standard library to do more sophisticated data gathering and analysis• Written by a Python programming expert, with over 35 years' experience as a consultant, teacher, author and software developerWho This Book Is ForThis book is for Secret Agents who have some exposure to Python. Our focus is on the Field Agents who are ready to do more sophisticated and complex programming in Python. We'll stick to simple statistics for the most part. A steady hand with a soldering iron is not required, but a skilled field agent should be able to assemble a working Arduino circuit to gather their own sensor data.What You Will Learn• Upgrade Python to the latest version and discover its latest and greatest tools• Use Python libraries to extract data from log files that are designed more for people to read than for automated analysis• Summarize log files and extract meaningful information• Gather data from social networking sites and leverage your experience of analyzing log files to summarize the data you find• Extract text and images from social networking sites• Parse the complex and confusing data structures in a PDF file to extract meaningful text that we can analyze• Connect small, intelligent devices to our computer to use them as remote sensors• Use Python to analyze measurements from sensors to calibrate them and use sensors efficientlyIn DetailPython is easy to learn and extensible programming language that allows any manner of secret agent to work with a variety of data. Agents from beginners to seasoned veterans will benefit from Python's simplicity and sophistication. The standard library provides numerous packages that move beyond simple beginner missions. The Python ecosystem of related packages and libraries supports deep information processing.This book will guide you through the process of upgrading your Python-based toolset for intelligence gathering, analysis, and communication. You'll explore the ways Python is used to analyze web logs to discover the trails of activities that can be found in web and database servers. We'll also look at how we can use Python to discover details of the social network by looking at the data available from social networking websites.Finally, you'll see how to extract history from PDF files, which opens up new sources of data, and you'll learn about the ways you can gather data using an Arduino-based sensor device.Style and approachEach chapter will include a background briefing that covers an essential Python technology. After some in-depth exploration of the features, the chapter will conclude with a mission that is a concrete application of the Python tools and techniques covered.

R Object-oriented Programming
This book is designed for people with some experience in basic programming practices. It is also assumed that they have some basic experience using R and are familiar using the command line in an R environment. Our primary goal is to raise a beginner to a more advanced level to make him/her more comfortable creating programs and extending R to solve common problems.

Introduction to Infrastructure as Code
Get inspired to explore the depths of the DevOps field. In today’s rapidly transforming world, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has emerged as an effective approach to maintain, scale, and deploy software systems. This book offers a mixture of foundational IaC concepts and practical examples to give you hands-on experience.You will first gain an understanding of DevOps culture as well as how to adapt to IaC. Introduction to Infrastructure as Code begins by reviewing the innovative features that DevOps in general, and IaC in particular, have to offer for adoption and growth for different verticals. With this solid base established, you will then learn the importance, processes, and outcome of building infrastructure solutions.Authors Sneh Pandya and Riya Guha Thakurta then provide hands-on examples utilizing IaC platforms, open source tools, and essential considerations such as security, scalability, and deployments. Each chapter focuses on one vertical (i.e., foundations, architecture patterns, securing infrastructure, preparing for deployment), how it impacts the DevOps toolchain in a holistic manner, and how it can be used to build solutions specific to that vertical, with a detailed walkthrough of code, environments, and other tools. After completing this book, you’ll have launched your own infrastructure solution through an open source stack consisting of platforms and tools such as Terraform, Chef, and Puppet.What You Will LearnUnderstand the fundamentals of DevOps and Infrastructure as CodePrepare for the ever-evolving ecosystem of modular infrastructure and the needs of the futureAvoid potential pitfalls and breakdowns while working with infrastructureBuild scalable and efficient IaC solutions that work at a small, medium, and large scale in a real-life environmentUnderstand and be responsibly aware of security concerns related to the domain, and how to address themWho Is This Book ForBeginners interested in building a career in DevOps as well as professionals looking to gain expertise and advance their career with greater knowledge of IaC. including Technical Product Managers, and Architects.
