An exciting new book for all students taking the Higher Information Systems course, focusing on two core units - Database Systems and Using Information. Database Systems explores the fundamentals of relational database systems and their analysis, design, implementation and evaluation. Techniques for describing database structures and the requirements of good database design are discussed fully. Using Information is looked at in terms of the need for information, the characteristics of information used for business processes, and the way planning, control and decision-making are used within organisations. The use of computer applications for information processing and the social, ethical, and legal implications of Information Systems are considered in detail. Questions are interspersed throughout the text to engage students and to ensure that they have understood the content covered.

Take a deep dive into Kubernetes inner components and discover what really powers a Kubernetes cluster. This in-depth guide shines a light on Kubernetes' murky internals, to help you better plan cloud native architectures and ensure the reliability of your systems.\nIn Core Kubernetes you will learn about:\nKubernetes base components 
Kubernetes networking 
Storage and the Container Storage Interface 
External load balancing and ingress 
Kubernetes security 
Different ways of creating a Kubernetes cluster 
Configuring Kubernetes to use a GPU\nTo build and operate reliable Kubernetes-based systems, you need to understand what’s going on below the surface. Core Kubernetes is an in-depth guide to Kubernetes’ internal workings written by Kubernetes contributors Chris Love and Jay Vyas. It’s packed with experience-driven insights and advanced techniques you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll understand the unique security concerns of container-based applications, minimize costly unused capacity, and get pro tips for maximizing performance. Diagrams, labs, and hands-on examples ensure that the complex ideas are easy to understand and practical to apply.\nPurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.\nAbout the technology 
Real-world Kubernetes deployments are messy. Even small configuration errors or design problems can bring your system to its knees. In the real world, it pays to know how each component works so you can quickly troubleshoot, reset, and get on to the next challenge. This one-of-a-kind book includes the details, hard-won advice, and pro tips to keep your Kubernetes apps up and running.\nAbout the book 
This book is a tour of Kubernetes under the hood, from managing iptables to setting up dynamically scaled clusters that respond to changes in load. Every page will give you new insights on setting up and managing Kubernetes and dealing with inevitable curveballs. Core Kubernetes is a comprehensive reference guide to maintaining Kubernetes deployments in production.\nWhat's inside\nKubernetes base components

Leverage the full potential of the web to make your web sites better than native applications for every platform. Key FeaturesExplore different models and patterns required to develop progressive web applicationsCreate applications requiring shorter runtime for attracting more usersStudy different projects to understand the fundamentals of progressive web applicationsBook DescriptionAre you a developer that wants to create truly cross-platform user experiences with a minimal footprint, free of store restrictions and features customers want? Then you need to get to grips with Progressive Web Applications (PWAs), a perfect amalgamation of web and mobile applications with a blazing-fast response time.Progressive Web Application Development by Example helps you explore concepts of the PWA development by enabling you to develop three projects, starting with a 2048 game. In this game, you will review parts of a web manifest file and understand how a browser uses properties to define the home screen experience. You will then move on to learning how to develop and use a podcast client and be introduced to service workers. The application will demonstrate how service workers are registered and updated. In addition to this, you will review a caching API so that you have a firm understanding of how to use the cache within a service worker, and you'll discover core caching strategies and how to code them within a service worker.Finally, you will study how to build a tickets application, wherein you’ll apply advanced service worker techniques, such as cache invalidation. Also, you'll learn about tools you can use to validate your applications and scaffold them for quality and consistency. By the end of the book, you will have walked through browser developer tools, node modules, and online tools for creating high-quality PWAs.What you will learnExplore the core principles of PWAs Study the three main technical requirements of PWAs Discover enhancing requirements to make PWAs transcend native apps and traditional websites Create and install PWAs on common websites with a given HTTPS as the core requirementGet acquainted with the service worker life cycle Define service worker caching patternsApply caching strategies to three different website scenariosImplement best practices for web performanceWho this book is forProgressive Web Application Development by Example is for you if you’re a web developer or front-end designer who wants to ensure improved user experiences. If you are an application developer with knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, this book will help you enhance your skills in order to develop progressive web applications, the future of app development.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Progressive Web Apps Creating a Home Screen Experience with a Web ManifestMaking Your Website Secure Service Workers-Notification, Synchronization, and Our Podcast App The Service Worker Life Cycle Master the Cache API- Manage Web Assets in a Podcast ApplicationService Worker Caching Patterns  Applying Advanced Service Worker Cache Strategies Optimizing for Performance Service Worker Tools
