Lynda – Architecting Big Data Applications – Real-Time Application Engineering
English | Size: 103.64 MB
Category: Tutorial


Real-time systems have guaranteed response times that can be sub-seconds from the trigger. Meaning that when a user clicks a button, your app better respond-and fast. Architecting applications under real-time constraints is an even bigger challenge when you’re dealing with big data. Excessive latency can cost you money, in terms of system resources consumed and customers lost. Luckily, big data technology and efficient architecture can provide the real-time responsiveness your business needs. In this course, you can learn about use cases and best practices for architecting real-time applications with technologies such as Kafka, Hazelcast, and Apache Spark.

Lynda – After Effects CC 2018: Editors and Post Essential Training
English | Size: 1.3GB
Category: Tutorial


In this course, Alan Demafiles covers the core aspects of After Effects commonly used in editing and post production: masks, shapes, type, logos, stills, animating, rendering, and exporting. To begin, Alan compares After Effects to Premiere Pro so you can see the similarities and differences. Then he dives into hands-on demonstrations of how to limit effects with masks, create elements with shape layers, use text templates, animate a logo, and create a 3D type extrusion. Next he shows you how to work with imported pictures, create a Z-space camera montage, change the speed of animations, and more. He wraps up by walking through outputting steps and then kicks off a challenge exercise where you can put your skills into practice. [Read more…]

Learn how to create effective graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with minimal code using Python. Burkhard Meier starts by showing how to create a GUI form, add widgets, manage the resulting layout, and customize the look and feel of the interface. Then, he takes you through working with data, classes, and making charts using the 2D Python plotting library, Matplotbil. Next, he discusses how threading and networking impact the performance of your code. Later in the course, he advances on to working with databases, testing application GUIs, extending a GUI using the wxPython library, and creating 3D GUIs by using PyOpenGL and Pyglet. As you follow along with Burkhard throughout this course, you will develop an entire application’s GUI. [Read more…]
