DESCRIPTION
Data governance manages the people, processes, and strategy needed for deploying data projects to production. But doing it well is far from easy: Less than one-fourth of business leaders say their organizations are data-driven. In Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up, you’ll build a cross-functional strategy to create roadmaps and stewardship for data-focused projects, embed data governance into your engineering practice, and put processes in place to monitor data after deployment.

In the last decade, the amount of data people produced grew 3,000 percent. Most organizations lack the strategy to clean, collect, organize, and automate data for production-ready projects. Without effective data governance, most businesses will keep failing to gain value from the mountain of data that’s available to them.

There’s a plethora of content intended to help DataOps and DevOps teams reach production, but 90 percent of projects trained with big data fail to reach production because they lack governance.

This book shares six steps you can take to build a data governance strategy from scratch. You’ll find a data framework, pull together a team of data stewards, build a data governance team, define your roadmap, weave data governance into your development process, and monitor your data in production.

DESCRIPTION
Unlock the power of data-oriented programming with this groundbreaking guide ‘Data-Oriented Programming: Reduce software complexity‘, introducing a paradigm that revolutionizes software design by representing data through generic immutable structures. DOP simplifies state management, streamlines concurrency and eradicates common issues in object-oriented code, all while offering language-agnostic flexibility. In this GOTO Book Club episode, author Yehonathan Sharvit spoke to James Lewis about how you can change the way you look at programming where code is clearer, state-related bugs are history, and your applications are more robust.

This conversation-driven book is complete with code snippets and diagrams about DOP and the best part—it's not bound to a single programming language, making it adaptable to JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Clojure and traditional languages like Java or C#. Learn to design data models for business entities and implement state management systems without mutating data. Discover how to separate code from data, write data-oriented unit tests, and specify the shape of your data, all while gaining a deeper understanding of these exciting new concepts.

DESCRIPTION
Integrating privacy-enhancing technologies into software applications is an imperative step for safeguarding user data and adhering to regulatory requirements in the realm of software development. However, prior to implementation, it is vital for development teams to grasp the potential pitfalls associated with incorporating privacy technology. They must also appreciate the significance of iterative processes and the necessity of collaborative efforts to ensure compliance.
Furthermore, achieving the delicate equilibrium between privacy and utility is of paramount importance. Organizations must meticulously fine-tune privacy settings, tailoring them to suit specific use cases.
Additionally, alongside this core evaluation criterion, considerations such as speed and computational efficiency may enter the equation, demanding expertise in privacy engineering for successful implementation at scale.

Katharine Jarmul, the author of "Practical Data Privacy," spoke to Alyona Galyeva from PyLadies Amsterdam, during which she unveiled a slew of open-source libraries and practical examples for implementing privacy technology. Katharine also explored how developers can proactively guarantee that their data science projects prioritize security by design and uphold privacy by default.

DESCRIPTION
Software development in the 1990s was characterized as a chaotic period with projects often failing or delivering buggy software. The traditional approach involved lengthy requirement gathering, design and coding phases, fraught with issues, such as static requirements that didn't account for evolving business needs and poor assumptions about value and functionality. The rapid evolution of frameworks, tools and techniques in the software industry came as a blessing and fostered innovation. However, it was challenging for developers as they struggled to keep up with the constant changes.

In this GOTO Unscripted conversation, Dave Thomas, original signatory and author of The Manifesto for Agile Software Development and co-author of The Pragmatic Programmer, spoke to Hannes Lowette about the future of software development, focusing on the concept of immutability in code and databases. Immutability in code refers to the idea that once code is made shareable, it becomes unchangeable, and it is identified by a unique identifier rather than its name. This approach allows for frequent code changes without breaking interfaces used by others. Regarding databases, Dave highlights the advantages of immutable databases, which, when combined with unique identifiers, make it easier to manage and work with data. Tune in to get insights into the dynamic landscape of software engineering and the need for continuous self-improvement in an era of advanced AI tools.

DESCRIPTION
How will software development and operations have to change to meet the sustainability and green needs of the planet? And what does that imply for development organizations? In this eye-opening book, sustainable software advocates Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, and Sara Bergman provide a unique overview of this topic—discussing everything from the likely evolution of national grids to the effect those changes will have on the day-to-day lives of developers.

Ideal for everyone from new developers to CTOs, Building Green Software tackles the challenges involved and shows you how to build, host, and operate code in a way that's not only better for the planet, but also cheaper and relatively low-risk for your business. Most hyperscale public cloud providers have already committed to net-zero IT operations by 2030. This book shows you how to get on board.

You'll explore:
• How the energy transition is likely to change hosting on prem and in the cloud—and how your company can prepare
• The fundamental architectural principles of sustainable software development and how to apply them
• How to determine which parts of your system need to change
• The concept of extending hardware longevity and the part that software plays
