| "Mastering Go Programming" |
| "Go has moved from the state of tentative to mass adoption. Its C-like speed, simplicity, and power for a growing number of systems level programming domains make it an attractive option for programmers working with older cumbersome, statically typed languages. Golang has entered the space as an entirely viable language for accomplishing a huge array of low level programming and service infrastructure tasks.This video course not only gives you a deep insight into the fundamental mechanics behind the language, but also covers extensive practical topics on Go for modern software architectures. It shows you how to write Go in an intelligent, idiomatic way. After a brief re-acquaintance with the key building blocks of Go, we will also explore how we can build upon the unique capabilities of the language to write effective, powerful code you can employ to develop software. We look at packages, object-oriented programming, concurrency and reflection among other things. Moreover, you will learn about Gos awesome built-in testing support feature. Along the way, build your skills in File handling techniques, Go packages for databases, data serialization approaches, message communications between Go services, and Go web applications. Get your hands on with a plenty of illustrative code samples, exercises and real-world scenarios that will help you build your own application.By the end of this course, you will be taught how to put this enhanced knowledge to build a real-world Spaceship application all by yourself with amazing features.About The AuthorMina Andrawos is an experienced Engineer who has developed deep experience in Go from using it personally and professionally. He regularly authors articles and tutorials about the language, and also shares Gos open source projects. He has written numerous Go applications with varying degrees of complexity. He is also the author of an upcoming course for Packt called Go in Production.Other than Go, he has skills in C#, Java, Python, and C++. He has worked with various databases and software architectures and has skills with the agile methodology in software development. Besides software development; he has working experience of scrum mastering, sales engineering, and software product management."

| "Are you interested in understanding machine learning concepts and building real-timeprojects with R, but dont know where to start? Then, this is the perfect course for you!The aim of machine learning is to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, and find useful information from data. In addition to this, through incorporation with data analysis, machine learning can be used to perform predictive analysis. With machine learning, the analysis of business operations and processes is not limited to human scale thinking; machine scale analysis enables businesses to capture hidden values in big data.Machine learning has similarities to the human reasoning process. Unlike traditional analysis, the generated model cannot evolve as data is accumulated. Machine learning can learn from the data that is processed and analyzed. In other words, the more data that is processed, the more it can learn.R, as adialect of GNU-S, is a powerful statistical language that can be used to manipulate and analyze data. Additionally, R provides many machine learning packages and visualization functions, which enable users to analyze data on the fly. Most importantly, R is open source and free.Using R greatly simplifies machine learning. All you need to know is how each algorithm can solveyour problem, and then you can simply use a writtenpackage to quickly generate prediction models on data with a few command lines.By taking this course, you will gain a detailed and practical knowledge of R and machine learning concepts to build complex machine learning models. What details do you cover in this course?We start off with basic R operations, reading data into R, manipulating data, forming simple statistics for visualizing data. We will then walk through the processes of transforming, analyzing, and visualizing the RMS Titanic data. You will also learn how to perform descriptive statistics.This course will teach you to use regression models. We will then see how to fit data in tree-based classifier, Naive Bayes classifier, and so on.We then move on to introducing powerful classification networks, neural networks, and support vector machines. During this journey, we will introduce the power of ensemble learners to produce better classification and regression results.We will see how to apply the clustering technique to segment customers and further compare differences between each clustering method.We will discover associated terms and underline frequent patterns from transaction data.We will go through the process of compressing and restoring images, using the dimension reduction approach and R Hadoop, starting from setting up the environment to actual big data processing and machine learning on big data.By the end of this course, we will build our own project in the e-commerce domain.This course will take you from the very basics of R to creating insightful machine learning models with R.We have combined the bestof the following Packt products:R Machine Learning Solutions by Yu-Wei, Chiu (David Chiu)Machine Learning with R Cookbook by Yu-Wei, Chiu (David Chiu)R Machine Learning By Example by Raghav Bali and Dipanjan SarkarTestimonials:The source content have been received well by the audience.

| "Learning Path: Application Development and Testing with Java" |
| "Whats great about the Cloud 9 online IDE is that your environment is running on a virtual machine in the cloud and is fully configured for you by default in under a minute! Everything is provisioned for you in Cloud 9 with proven, compatibility-tested versions of everything, across the board.Packts Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. In this course we'll discover how Cloud 9 works, how we can get access to an environment, and how to get a workspace setup for Java application development. By leveraging the Cloud 9 online development environment we're on the cutting edge of application development and deployment. Test automation, a formalized testing process, can automate repetitive but necessary tasks that would be difficult to do manually. The next video is a practical step-by-step guide to developing UI test automation frameworks from scratch. Well explore Web Driver, Appium (for mobile applications), and Cucumber-JVM. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have a vision of what a framework is, what it looks like, and what items should be covered at the beginning of test automation development. About the Authors: For this course, we have combined the best works of these extremely esteemed authors: Brett Hooper is a well-seasoned software engineer, entrepreneur, teacher, and all-around techno-surfer.
