This book provides practical guidance for adopting a high velocity, continuous delivery process to create reliable, scalable, Software-as-a-Service (Saa S) solutions that are designed & built using a microservice architecture, deployed to the Azure cloud, & managed through automation. Microservices, Io T, & Azure offers software developers, architects, & operations engineers' step-by-step directions for building Saa S applications-applications that are available 24x 7, work on any device, scale elastically, & are resilient to change--through code, script, exercises, & a working reference implementation. The book provides a working definition of microservices & contrasts this approach with traditional monolithic Layered Architecture. A fictitious, homebiomedical startup is used to demonstrate microservice architecture & automation capabilities for cross-cutting & business services as well as connected device scenarios for Internet of Things (Io T). Several Azure Paa S services are detailed including Storage, SQL Database, Document Db, Redis Cache, Cloud Services, Web API's, API Management, Io T Hub, Io T Suite, Event Hub, & Stream Analytics. Finally the book looks to the future & examines Service Fabric to see how microservices are becoming the de facto approach to building reliable software in the cloud. In this book, you'll learn: * What microservices are & why are they're a compelling architecture pattern for Saa S applications * How to design, develop, & deploy microservices using Visual Studio, Power Shell, & Azure * Microservice patterns for cross-cutting concerns & business capabilities* Microservice patterns for Internet of Things & big data analytics solutions using Io T Hub, Event Hub, & Stream Analytics* Techniques for automating microservice provisioning, building, & deployment * What Service Fabric is & how it's the future direction for microservices on Microsoft Azure ...

Microscopy: A Very Short Introduction

Microscopy is a dynamic area of science, incorporating both basic classroom microscopes and sophisticated research style instruments that can be driven by light, electrons, or X-rays. The rate of advance in the area over the last 50 years has led to a number of technological advances. In this Very Short Introduction Terence Allen, an established expert on microscope techniques, describes the scientific principles behind the main forms of microscopy, and the exciting new developments in the field. Focusing on the main underlying principles, and introducing the power of what is achievable today using microscopes, Allen demonstrates how microscopy impinges on almost every aspect of our daily lives; from medical diagnosis to quality control in manufacture. Beginning with a brief
history of the early stages of microscopy development, Allen then concludes with a comprehensive account of the diverse spectrum of microscopy available today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
