Network engineers are finding it harder than ever to rely solely on manual processes to get their jobs done. New protocols, technologies, delivery models, and the need for businesses to become more agile and flexible have made network automation essential. The updated second edition of this practical guide shows network engineers how to use a range of technologies and tools, including Linux, Python, APIs, and Git, to automate systems through code. This edition also includes brand new topics such as network development environments, cloud, programming with Go, and a reference network automation architecture. Network Programmability and Automation will help you automate tasks involved in configuring, managing, and operating network equipment, topologies, services, and connectivity. Through the course of the book, you'll learn the basic skills and tools you need to make this critical transition. Should Network Engineers Learn to Code? Unfortunately, you aren’t getting a definitive yes or no from us. Clearly, we have a full chapter on Python and another on Go, and plenty of examples throughout the book on how to use Python or Go to communicate to network devices via network APIs and extend DevOps tools like Ansible and Terraform, so we definitely think learning the basics of any programming language is valuable.

Buckle up for a fascinating journey through layers of insight and metaphors that explain the past, present, and future of the Web. Readers from all walks of life will learn something ancient, something novel, and something practical. Those who give it careful consideration will never see the Web the same way again. This book proclaims into existence decentralized public space above the webpage that enables the shift from personal to collective computing. The Web's next frontier is the Metaweb, a hyper-dimensional web over Today's Web that connects people and information silos, with accountability and fair value exchange. The Metaweb can drastically reduce false information, abuse, and scams, as well as enable the unprecedented level of collaboration needed to address humanity's global challenges. The book posits a symbiotic relationship between AI and the Metaweb, where AI assists in generating, organizing, and curating content, while the Metaweb provides the necessary data and context for AI to function effectively, transparently, and in alignment with humanity. The AI-assisted collaboration among humans on the Metaweb will enable a vast collective intelligence and the capture of tremendous untapped value.

Intelligent Approach to Cyber Security provides details on the important cyber security threats and its mitigation and the influence of Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Blockchain technologies in the realm of cyber security. As the internet is a very open and unprotected method of communication, it has attracted numerous miscreants with nefarious purposes. These criminals have made repeated attempts to get information and misuse it. Hence, the number of cyber-attacks and cybercrimes has increased exponentially with the growth of high-speed internet users. Cyber security is a significant issue in this setting that needs in-depth research and analysis. The advent of technologies like Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain have brought about a paradigm shift in the way security issues are handled. Incorporating these technologies in different aspects of cyber security has increased the robustness of various security mechanisms. Hence, the main aim of the book is to study the impact of these technologies on cyber security.
