Over the last decade or so, the World Wide Web has grown in scope from being a relatively simple information repository to becoming the first stop for many people when seeking entertainment, education, news, or business resources.
Websites themselves need no longer be limited to a number of static pages containing text and perhaps simple images; the tools now available allow the development of highly interactive and engaging pages involving animations, visual effects, context-sensitive content, embedded productivity tools, and much more.

By picking up this book, there's a good chance that you fall into one of two categories: an existing WordPress user / hobbyist programmer who is interested in building your own plugins for the platform, or a seasoned developer who is new to WordPress and need to complete a project for a client.

Learn best practices for designing enterprise-grade software systems
Understand the importance of building reliable, maintainable, and scalable systems
Become a professional software architect by learning the most effective software design patterns and architectural concepts
Book Description
As businesses are undergoing a digital transformation to keep up with competition, it is now more important than ever for IT professionals to design systems to keep up with the rate of change while maintaining stability.

The Sound Effects Bible is a complete guide to recording and editing sound effects. The book covers topics such as microphone selection, field recorders, the ABCs of digital audio, understanding Digital Audio Workstations, building your own Foley stage, designing your own editing studio, and more.

This book is for developers who are looking for an overview of basic concepts in Natural Language Processing. It casts a wide net of techniques to help developers who have a range of technical backgrounds. Numerous code samples and listings are included to support myriad topics. The first chapter shows you various details of managing data that are relevant for NLP. The next pair of chapters contain NLP concepts, followed by another pair of chapters with Python code samples to illustrate those NLP concepts.

Heuristic local search algorithms are used to find “good” solutions to the NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems that cannot be solved using analytical methods. Chapter one discusses the characterization and computation of heuristic local search algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) from the perspective of dynamical systems. The purpose of chapter 2 is to show the practical application of CBIR technology in the security and protection of personal data, access to classified documents and objects, identification of illegal attacks that are part of the social life of the present and future of mankind. Continuous search space problems are difficult problems to solve because the number of solutions is infinite. Moreover, the search space gets more complex as we add constraints to the problem. In this context, chapter 3 aims to show the usage of the differential evolution algorithm for solving continuous search space problems using unconstrained functions and a constrained real-world problem.

New and seasoned users will benefit from this book’s step-by-step procedures on creating and modifying 3D models, working with cameras and lights, assigning materials to objects, rendering, and printing. It includes, in both metric and imperial units, 50 “mini-workshops” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will create full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2022. The companion CD sets up drawing exercises and projects and shows the book’s figures in color.

Modern systems are an intertwined mesh of human process, physical security, and technology. Many times, an attacker will leverage a weakness in one form of security to gain control over an otherwise protected operation.

Designing Secure Systems takes a theory-based approach to concepts underlying all forms of systems, from padlocks to phishing to enterprise software architecture. In this book, we will discuss similarities in how a weakness in one part of a process enables vulnerability to bleed into another by applying standards and frameworks used in the cybersecurity world to assess the system as a complete process including people, processes, and technology.

This contributed volume provides the state-of-the-art development on security and privacy for cyber-physical systems (CPS) and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). More specifically, this book discusses the security challenges in CPS and IIoT systems as well as how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can be used to address these challenges.  Furthermore, this book proposes various defence strategies, including intelligent cyber-attack and anomaly detection algorithms for different IIoT applications.

This is the first book organized around code clone analysis. To cover the broad studies of code clone analysis, this book selects past research results that are important to the progress of the field and updates them with new results and future directions.
