Mastering Git: A Beginner's Guide (Mastering Computer Science)
by Sufyan Bin UzayrMastering Git: A Beginner’s Guide introduces developers of all ages to the wonderful and useful world of Git. As far as software development is considered, the advent of Git has truly proven to be a milestone. If you are a software developer, you have probably already heard of Git. Its importance and functionality in the world of coding merits very high praise for a variety of reasons. Computers now have become very amenable machines. You can remove a significant section of the text from your work accidentally, but there is no need to panic. Simply use the Undo option and you’re good. This, however, was not the case in the early days of development. Back then, developers did not have access to any such technology, and it was only one person who used to own the master copy of a work. This person would divide the code into specific parts, which would subsequently be divided between developers, who would work on their part and make their completed submissions independent of each other. This was followed by a standard check, after which the old version was completely replaced by the new version. This was a very tedious process—unless someone had beenvery proactive with making copies of the code, the previous versions of a file were often effectively lost. Thankfully, a significant breakthrough came in 1972 when developer Marc Rochkind invented the Source Code Control System (SCCS), which was the very first form of Version Control System (VCS). It was limited in terms of its functionality, and could allow only one person to work on it at a time, while concurrent management had to be handled using locks. But we have come a long way since then. Today, Git is the single most-used VCS out there. Its influence on coding and development, in particular, the innovative use of "branches" in order to facilitate collaboration for projects, cannot be over-emphasized. Version Control has become an indispensable part of our lives, and being familiar with the functioning of Git is something employers deem highly important. Mastering Git will prove to be of tremendous help to developers of all spheres in learning Git and Version Control. This book offers information on a wide array of subjects pertaining to Git, and even briefly touches upon its history, advantages, and disadvantages. Mastering Git also offers tips on installation and different elements involved in its functioning, such as Repositories, Remotes, Aliases, Tagging, and Branches. Popular services and hosts for such Git projects as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket are also discussed in detail. This book will prove to be a handy guide for both newbie learners and trained professionals.

Mastering GitHub Pages: A Beginner's Guide (Mastering Computer Science)
by Sufyan Bin UzayrWhy should you read Mastering GitHub Pages: A Beginner’s Guide? Because this book offers you a concise guide so that you can quickly navigate the terrains of GitHub Pages sites in a fairly smooth manner. But why use GitHub Pages if it can only make static websites? Why should you go for static websites when you could get a dynamic one made for your organization? Again, why not?! Having a static website is a sure-shot strategy to save a lot of money, keep the website secure, and ensure built-in backups. In addition, you can serve it over HTTPS and make sure that it is fast and SEO-ready. Mastering GitHub Pages delves into static (and dynamic) websites as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Static websites tend to be incredibly fast since they have no processing time for databases and other stuff. Additionally, because you are committing a code base of static assets to a Git repository, the rolling back of changes is simply an issue involving reversion to a commit that was made previously. So backups are a mere git push away, and you are basically serving your entire website from a cache. This means that your server will never need to process a request again. This book helps you master the art of static site generation in no time. Furthermore, Mastering GitHub Pages also discusses in great length Jekyll, a popular static site generator. When working with Jekyll, all you do is give it liquid templates as well as Markdown content, and it is adept at combining them both into a static website. It requires no-on-the-fly processing, and your blog will display at a significantly faster speed. This workflow proves useful for GitHub Pages because they tend to support the Jekyll builds. As such, your blog posts can be contributed using pull requests, and all your content gets stored within version control. Non-developers could also contribute posts in Markdown. Mastering GitHub Pages is an immensely useful book that all developers can use for the creation of websites on the free GitHub Pages platform. So, go ahead, grab a copy of the book for a proper GitHub Pages primer! Learn more about our other Mastering titles at: https://www.routledge.com/Mastering-Computer-Science/book-series/MCS

by Sufyan Bin UzayrMastering GoLang helps readers quickly understand the core concepts and then move on to practical projects using the Go programming language. GoLang is often dubbed a game-changer in the world of programming languages. Instead of starting from scratch, Go was created using the C programming language. GoLang inherits C’s disciplined grammar but with specific tweaks and enhancements to properly manage memory. This lessens the memory leakage problems that developers tend to face with C. Go borrows and adapts notions from various programming languages while skipping characteristics that result in complicated, insecure, and unpredictable code. Go’s concurrency features are well-suited to build the infrastructure for gigantic projects such as networking systems and distributed hardware. Go is also often employed in domains such as visuals, mobile applications, and Machine Learning. Even though GoLang is a relatively new language, it has been adopted by several major organizations owing to its benefits, which include code clarity, custom libraries, adaptability, multithreading, and a simple build process. Because Go is gaining traction in the development community, learning GoLang can open up new avenues across various fields and career trajectories. Since it is still a relatively newer language, quality literature pertaining to Go is often hard to find. This particular book covers all the bases that you might need, and is an ideal companion for beginner-level developers looking to master Go programming. With Mastering GoLang, learning GoLang becomes an easy task, and learners can use their skills to create innovative projects. The Mastering Computer Science series is edited by Sufyan bin Uzayr, a writer and educator with over a decade of experience in the computing field.
