Do you want to learn more about data analysis with Python? How about iOS 9 game development, Django, or Swift 2? Our latest batch of eBooks will teach you all you need to know about these topics and more.
What You’ll Learn
In the past couple of months we’ve made 16 new eBooks available for Envato Tuts+ subscribers to download. Here’s a selection of those eBooks, and a summary of what you can learn from them.
1. Mastering Ansible
Ansible provides a simple yet powerful automation engine. Beyond the basics of Ansible lie a host of advanced features which are available to help you increase efficiency and accomplish complex orchestrations with ease.
Mastering Ansible provides you with the knowledge you need to understand how Ansible works at a fundamental level and leverage its advanced capabilities. You’ll learn how to encrypt Ansible content at rest and decrypt data at runtime. You will gain detailed knowledge of Ansible workflows, explore use cases for advanced features, craft well thought out orchestrations, troubleshoot unexpected behaviour, and much more.
2. Getting Started With Python Data Analysis
With this book, we will get you started with Python data analysis and show you what its advantages are.
The book starts by introducing the principles of data analysis and supported libraries, along with NumPy basics for statistic and data processing. Next it provides an overview of the Pandas package and uses its powerful features to solve data processing problems.
Other subjects include a brief overview of the Matplotlib API, how to apply powerful packages in Python to process raw data into pure and helpful data using examples, and a brief overview of machine learning algorithms.
3. Arduino for Secret Agents
Q might have Bond’s gadgets, but he doesn’t have an Arduino (not yet at least). In Arduino for Secret Agents, find out how the tiny Arduino microcomputer can be used to build an impressive range of neat secret agent projects that can help you go undercover, and get to grips with the cutting-edge of the world of espionage.
This book isn’t simply an instruction manual—it helps you put your knowledge into action so you can build every single project to completion.
4. iOS 9 Game Development Essentials
Game development has always been a combination of programming and art, and mobile game development is no exception to this rule.
Whether you are new to iOS and game development as a whole, or are an experienced programmer wanting to learn the latest features of the platform, iOS 9 Game Development Essentials will provide you with crucial insight into this widely used platform.
5. AngularJS Directives Cookbook
If you’re already using Angular, you probably recognize the power of directives to transform the way you understand and build your projects—but customizing and creating your own directives to harness AngularJS to its full potential can be more challenging. This cookbook shows you how to do just that. It’s a valuable resource that demonstrates how to use directives at every stage in the workflow.
Whether you’re looking for guidance to dive deeper into AngularJS directives, or you want a reliable resource, relevant to today’s web development challenges, AngularJS Directives Cookbook delivers everything you need in an easily accessible way.
6. Mastering Swift 2
Swift 2 features exciting enhancements to the original iteration of Swift, acting, as Apple put it, as “a successor to the C and Objective-C languages.” Mastering Swift 2 demonstrates how to get the most from these new features, and gives you the skills and knowledge you need to develop dynamic iOS and OS X applications.
7. Node.js Essentials
Node.js is simply a tool that lets you use JavaScript on the server side. But it actually does much more than that—by extending JavaScript, it allows for a much more integrated and efficient approach to development.
With Node.js Essentials, you’ll find everything you need to create a complete full-stack application with Node.js. It will help you harness JavaScript much more effectively—and in doing so, expand your confidence and capabilities as a developer.
8. Django by Example
Django is a powerful Python web framework designed to develop web applications quickly, from simple prototypes to large-scale projects. Django encourages clean, pragmatic design, and provides developers with a comprehensive set of tools to build scalable web applications.
Django by Example will walk you through the creation of four professional Django projects, teaching you how to solve common problems and implement best practices. After reading this book, you will have a good understanding of how Django works and how to integrate it with other technologies to build practical, advanced web applications.
