Data Engineering with Google Cloud Platform
There is too much information – too many options and plans. Things are complicated. We live in a world where there is more and more information, which can be as problematic as too little information, and I’m aware that this condition applies when people want to start doing data engineering in the cloud, specifically Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in this book.

C++17 Standard Library Quick Reference
The C++ Standard Library is a collection of essential classes and functions used by millions of C++ programmers on a daily basis. Being part of the ISO Standard of the C++ Programming Language, an implementation is distributed with virtually every C++ compiler. Code written with the C++ Standard Library is therefore portable across compilers and target platforms.

Data Labeling in Machine Learning with Python
In today’s data-driven era, where more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced daily in various forms such as text, image, audio, and video, data stands as the cornerstone of the AI revolution. However, the majority of real-world data available for training supervised machine learning models lacks labels, or we encounter limited labeled data. This presents a significant challenge, as labeled data is essential for training any supervised machine learning model and fine-tuning large language models in the age of generative AI.To address the scarcity of labeled data and facilitate the preparation of labeled data for training supervised machine learning models and fine-tuning large language models, this book introduces various methods for programmatic data labeling using Python libraries and methods, including semisupervised and unsupervised learning.

Defending APIs
In today’s hyper-connected digital world, APIs are ubiquitous in providing the connecting tissue between systems and services. The growth of APIs continues at an exponential pace, with almost every developer either responsible for creating APIs of their own or consuming APIs as part of their solution. Unfortunately, attackers have shifted their focus to attacking APIs first, and the alarming rise in API incidents and breaches is testimony to the challenges developers face in producing APIs that are secure and robust.

Designing Hexagonal Architecture with Java
Sometimes, solving problems and expressing our ideas through code is challenging. What looks like an obvious solution in our minds may look unnecessarily complex in the minds of others. But that’s alright if we are open to new ideas and perspectives because we set our minds to learning unexpected things when we have a persistent attitude and a willingness to embrace everything that comes.I was not expecting it when I was first introduced to hexagonal architecture.
