Book SynopsisSpringboard your journey into web application development and discover how much fun building web applications with Ruby on Rails can be. This book has been revised to cover what''s new in Rails 6 including features such as WebPack, advanced JavaScript integration, Action Mailbox, Action Text, system and parallel testing, Action Cable testing, and more.  Beginning Rails 6 gently guides you through designing your application, writing tests for the application, and then writing the code to make your application work as expected. It is a book that will guide you from never having programmed with Ruby, to having a Rails 6 application built and deployed to the web.   After reading and using this book, you''ll have the know-how and the freely available source code to get started with your own Rails-based web development in days.   What You Will Learn Create Ruby on Rails 6 web applications froTable of Contents1. Introducing the Rails Framework2. Getting Started3. Getting Something Running4. Introduction to the Ruby Language5. Working with a Database: Active Record6. Advanced Active Record: Enhancing Your Models7. Action Pack: Working with the View and the Controller8. Advanced Action Pack9. JavaScript and CSS10. Sending and Receiving Email11. Testing Your Application12. Internationalization13. Deploying Your Rails ApplicationsA. Databases 101B. The Rails CommunityC. Git NOTES below: for Planned Revisions for Beginning Rails 6 Chapter 1: Introducing the Rails Framework The majority of chapter 1 is still relevant, needing only minor, superficial changes. This may also be a good place to address the “is rails dead?” question. In short, no -- Rails is not dead, it’s mature. Chapter 2: Getting StartedThis chapter needs to be updated to include more recent installation instructions and screenshots for more recent versions of technologies involved. The general idea is the same, though.Chapter 3: Getting Something Running This chapter needs minor updates to:Reflect the new directory structure created by RailsReflect that Rails 6 now uses webpack instead of the asset pipelineChapter 4: Introduction to the Ruby LanguageThis chapter needs little, if any revision, as the basics of Ruby which it covers haven’t changed much.Chapter 5: Working with a Database: Active RecordThis chapter needs little, if any revision.Chapter 6: Advanced Active Record: Enhancing Your ModelsThis chapter seems like it would need only minor revisions. It is a dense chapter, though, with lots of code samples that need to be verified.Chapter 6.5: ActiveModelWe could add this chapter, showing readers how they can create objects very similar to ActiveRecord models described in the previous chapter, but which aren’t directly backed by the database. We would explain why this can be useful, and include an example of usage that fits in with the sample application being developed throughout the app.Chapter 7: Action Pack: Working with the View and the Controller Like the previous chapter, this chapter is still mostly relevant, but has a lot of code samples and screenshots which need verification and updating.Also, the following sections have some changes in Rails 6 that should be updated:“Using Form Helpers” (`form_with` was added, and is the preferred way going forward.)“Rendering a Collection of Partials” ( Rails 6 has a newer, more performant way of rendering a collection of partials which should be described)Also, a section on Caching could be added, though it’s not new, and may not be appropriate for a “Beginning” book.Chapter 7.5: ActionTextIn this chapter, we would introduce ActionText, which gives the developer a simple path for adding a WYSIWYG editor to their application. This would be a short chapter, and we would show how to add a WYSIWYG editor to the sample application.Chapter 8: Advanced Action PackThis section only needs minor updates to verify code samples are still correct, and to update screenshots. Chapter 8.5: ActiveStorageActiveStorage facilitates the attaching of files to records. (e.g., product images, downloadable pdfs, etc.) We would explain why this is useful, how to configure it, and then provide code samples for how to enhance the sample application with images for each article, or something like that.)Chapter 9: JavaScript and CSSThis chapter needs significant revision. The structure of the chapter is good, but the underlying technologies have changed significantly, and all code samples need to be replaced. Thankfully this is a relatively short chapter. Chapter 10: Sending and Receiving E-Mail The existing content is mostly still relevant. Hower, the following changes should be made:We could add a section on “Previewing Emails” (https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#previewing-emails), a new feature which aids development of emails sent by a Rails app.We could add a small section on “Action Mailer Callbacks” The section on “Receiving E-Mail” should be updated to reflect the new “ActionMailbox” featureChapter 10.5: ActiveJobIn this chapter, we would explain the concept of background jobs, explain why they’re useful, and then provide a working sample which ties into the sample application. (Namely, as a way of sending the email developed in the previous chapter.)Chapter 11: Testing Your ApplicationThis chapter will need some more significant updates, as Rails 6 has changed some concepts and introduced new ones:“Parallel testing” is new, and should be introduced -- it can dramatically increase the speed of running the test suite“Functional Testing Your Controllers” needs to be revised to reflect new technology“System Testing” could be added to introduce readers to the concept of browser-based testingSmall sections for testing ActiveJob and ActionMailer, and ActionCable could be addedChapter 12: InternationalizationThis chapter is still mostly relevant, and would only need small revisions. Additionally, we could introduce the concept of “lazy lookup”, allowing developers to rely on convention to make their usage of internationalization keys throughout their code more concise.Chapter 12.5: ActionCableWe could add a chapter to introduce this concept to the reader, explaining how it could be used to add “real-time” functionality to their application. (The easiest to understand example is a chat system, where you want to see messages from another user as soon as they are submitted without having to refresh the page.)We could add sample code to add something like a chat system to the application, though it seems like a stretch. I may try to think of a more relevant feature to add to the sample application.Chapter 13: Deploying Your Rails Applications This short chapter is still mostly relevant, but needs minor revisions to reflect newer technologies and software versions.Appendix A: Databases This appendix needs little (or no) revision.Appendix B: The Rails CommunityThis appendix is mostly fine as-is; I would just want to make sure links are still valid, and that we’re not overlooking any new sources.Appendix C: GitThis appendix is still mostly relevant. I would just want to update links and references to version numbers, and make sure that example output and function listings are up-to-date.

Book SynopsisElixir and Phoenix are generating tremendous excitement as an unbeatable platform for building modern web applications. Make the most of them as you build a stateful web app with Elixir and OTP. Model domain entities without an ORM or a database. Manage server state and keep your code clean with OTP Behaviours. Layer on a Phoenix web interface without coupling it to the business logic. Open doors to powerful new techniques that will get you thinking about web development in fundamentally new ways. Elixir and OTP give us exceptional tools to build stateful back-end applications that really scale, with rock-solid reliability. In this book, you'll build a web application in ways that are radically different from the norm. The back end will be stateful, not stateless. Use persistent connections with Phoenix Channels instead of HTTP's request-response, and create the full application in distinct, decoupled layers. In Part 1, start by building the business logic as a separate application, without Phoenix. Model the application domain with Elixir Agents and simple data structures. By keeping state in memory instead of a database, you can reduce latency and simplify your code. Then add OTP Behaviours such as gen_server and gen_fsm that make managing in-memory state a breeze. Create a supervision tree to boost fault tolerance while separating error handling from business logic. Phoenix is a modern web framework you can layer on top of business logic while keeping the two completely decoupled. In Part 2, you'll do exactly that as you build a web interface with Phoenix. Bring in the application from Part 1 as a dependency to a new Phoenix project. Then use ultra-scalable Phoenix Channels to establish persistent connections between the stateful server and a stateful front-end client. You're going to love this way of building web apps! What You Need: You'll need a computer that can run Elixir version 1.3 or higher and Phoenix 1.2 or higher. Some familiarity with Elixir and Phoenix is recommended.

Book SynopsisThis book presents core concepts in computational biology in an accessible, jargon-free manner and offers a complete foundation course in the Python language, with entry points for novices and experienced programmers alike. Material covers traditional bioinformatics and many topics beyond, with practical examples for Python versions 2 and 3.Trade Review'As a long-time advocate of Python as the language of choice for both the bulk of biological data analysis and for teaching computer programming to molecular life scientists, I am delighted to see this book. [It] provides a well-focused introduction to Python programming but then goes on to use the clarity of the Python language to demystify a wide range of commonly applied data processing and analysis techniques that arise in modern cell and molecular biology. The integration of straightforward introductions to sequence analysis, image processing and statistical analysis (amongst others) into a book on Python is inspired. The clarity of the Python language helps to show that often 'yes it really is that simple', in a way that staring at a mathematical expression often fails to, and the programming element allows the reader to become actively involved.' Jeremy Craven, University of Sheffield'Python Programming for Biology is an excellent introduction to the challenges that biologists and biophysicists face. The choice of Python is appropriate; we use it in most research in our laboratories at the interface between biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics. The book takes us through programming principles for a beginner with a biological background, introducing the basics. It has useful tips for improving code and some specific examples, for example in sequence analysis, macromolecular structures, image processing and databases. I was pleased to see that there is a substantive section on machine learning which in the era of 'big data' is becoming central to much of the software developed for biomedical and agri-biotech research.' Tom Blundell, University of Cambridge'Stevens and Boucher tear down barriers to programming and bioinformatics, for biologists and medics alike … this is the book that I wish I could have read years ago. Serving as both a straightforward tutorial and plain-English reference, the key programming, biology and bioinformatics concepts necessary to build programs for practical, real-world applications are explained in a logical and easy-to-follow order, helping the reader to get from zero to results faster. Unlike many programming books and resources, information is presented in the right amount of detail and jargon is demystified, giving a gentle but thorough and practical introduction to programming with Python, while providing useful tips and encouraging good practices. This introduction is built on with 'from the ground up' explanations of basic, intermediate and advanced computational biology methodologies through Python implementations, resulting in a well-rounded text for programming to solve biological challenges.' Harry Jubb, University of Cambridge'As an increasingly valuable and important skill, programming can be daunting for those new to it. Python Programming for Biology provides the perfect introduction into the world of coding. Stevens and Boucher gently guide the reader through the basics and into practical examples that will aid the reader into incorporating Python into their research activities. I would not hesitate to recommend it as a valuable teaching aide or to people keen to expand their horizons into bioinformatics.' David Ascher, University of Cambridge'Python has become a programming and scripting language of utmost importance in scientific computing, in particular in biology. Major, widely used software packages make use of Python, and libraries offering powerful functionalities are available. Many if not most research projects in biology benefit from computational techniques. Although it is incredibly simple to write small scripts in Python, for a novice in programming, the first steps may seem daunting. In contrast to many other books on Python, this book is specifically aimed at an audience that has little or no experience with programming. After a step-by-step introduction to programming in Python, it describes concrete examples from different areas in biology, with code examples from data analysis to modelling. [It] is a highly valuable addition to the literature on Python, and recommended to any biologist who is interested in using computers in his research.' Michael Nilges, Institut Pasteur, France'[Stevens and Boucher's] understanding of the needs of the target audience for this book (primarily bench scientists with minimal programming experience) is complete. They have accurately customized the book, to meet those specific requirements which are so distinct from those of students aspiring to be specialist programmers. They have achieved this difficult objective without 'dumbing down' the content or omitting any relevant aspect of Python. The book provides an easy and comprehensive introduction for the complete novice as well as offering plenty to engage the more experienced reader. This work is exactly what is required for us to build new training events upon.' David Judge, University of CambridgeTable of ContentsPreface; Acknowledgements; 1. Prologue; 2. Beginners' guide; 3.

Book SynopsisBuild APIs and web apps based on Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI). This book provides a comprehensive explanation of using Pydantic models to construct the request/response objects in a FASTAPI path operation.You'll start by reviewing type hints in Python and the asynchronous processing concepts. One of the highlights of FastAPI is its auto generation of API docs. Pydantic library is the main pillar on top of which FastAPI is built. You'll see that ASGI has a far better performance compared to most of the other popular Python frameworks as they implement Web server Gateway Interface (WSGI), which is synchronous in nature and hence having slower response time.This book thoroughly explains how FastAPI interacts asynchronously with relational as well as NOSQL databases. Modern web apps use template engines to interact with the front-end. In this book, you will learn to use jinja2 templates and static assets. Swagger UI and OpenAPI standards are also covered in detail. Finally,Table of ContentsBuild High Performance Web Apps with FastAPIChapter 1. Introduction to FastAPI Chapter 2.
