\"This book will teach you everything you need to build and deploy kubernetes native microservices in a super productive fashion: a must!\" - Alain Lompo Build fast, efficient Kubernetes-based Java applications using the Quarkus framework, MicroProfile, and Java standards. Most popular Java frameworks, like Spring, were designed long before the advent of Kubernetes and cloud-native systems. A new generation of tools, including Quarkus and MicroProfile have been cloud-native and Kubernetes-aware from the beginning. Kubernetes Native Microservices: With Quarkus and MicroProfile teaches you how to create efficient enterprise Java applications that are easy to deploy, maintain, and expand. In Kubernetes Native Microservices: With Quarkus and MicroProfile you\'ll learn how to: Deploy enterprise Java applications on KubernetesDevelop applications using the Quarkus runtime frameworkCompile natively using GraalVM for blazing speedCreate efficient microservices applicationsTake advantage of MicroProfile specifications about the technologyModern enterprise Java applications have embraced microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and a cloud-native approach. The Quarkus framework, developed at Red Hat, is designed for this deployment model, making cloud-native application development in Java much easier than it is on Spring or other older platforms. Quarkus applications compiled natively to GraalVM can deliver extremely fast runtimes, potentially improving performance by 100x or more. about the bookKubernetes Native Microservices: With Quarkus and MicroProfile introduces a modern approach to enterprise Java development using new tools designed for cloud-native applications. This book begins by exploring the impact Kubernetes and cloud systems have on your application design. Then, it quickly guides you through setting up an application using MicroProfile APIs, Kubernetes, and Quarkus. Using carefully selected examples and crystal-clear explanations, it guides you step by step from design to deployment. Written by veteran Java developers John Clingan and Ken Finnigan, this book oozes with experience and insight. You\'ll look past the ideal-but-untested advice you find in many books on new technologies and see how Kubernetes-native development with Quarkus and MicroProfile work in the real world. about the readerWritten for intermediate Java developers comfortable with Java EE, Jakarta EE, or Spring. Assumes some prior exposure to Docker and Kubernetes. No experience with Quarkus or MicroProfile required. about the authorJohn Clingan is a senior principal product manager at Red Hat. At Red Hat John works on next generation platforms including Quarkus. He is a co-founder of Eclipse MicroProfile, MicroProfile committer, and MicroProfile co-lead. Ken Finnigan is a senior principal software engineer and Eclipse MicroProfile technical architect at Red Hat. He\'s the co-founder of Eclipse MicroProfile and a MicroProfile committer.

This book presents cutting-edge research on adult attachment together with a complete overview of the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP), the authors\' validated developmental assessment. In addition to identifying attachment classification groups, the AAP yields important information about dimensions--including defensive processes--not evaluated by other available measures. Detailed case illustrations show what the AAP looks like in action and what it reveals about individuals\' early experiences, sense of self, and capacity to engage in close, protective relationships. The AAP can be used in clinical or research settings; the concluding chapter discusses promising applications to studying the neurobiology of attachment. Σελίδες: 304, Διαστάσεις: 15.2x15.2cm

Georg Baselitz enters a dialogue with the Old Masters - invited by Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, the acclaimed German painter and sculptor engages in a visual conversation. Baselitz himself curated this selection of works, focusing exclusively on nude painting. Both the exhibition and the catalogue revolve around this elemental human state, and its fundamental role in European art. From the beginning of his career, Baselitz’s work has been informed by a pronounced awareness of art history, above all he was inspired by Mannerism’s break with classical rules. Insights into the history of nude painting, as well into the topicality of painting itself, emerge from this encounter of Baselitz’s works with historical paintings of an idealized beauty from Kunsthistorisches Museum. The carefully chosen juxtapositions open up a space in which one can reflect and experience the essence of painting anew. Σελίδες: 160, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0901, Διαστάσεις: 26x26cm
