A Complete Guide to Docker for Operations and Development, Test-Prep for the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) Exam
Published By Apress Springer Nature
The power of Docker lies in containerizing your code with all its libraries and file systems to be able to run anywhere consistently. If you do not know what these terms mean, do not worry. This book is your source for learning all about them in step-by-step, hands-on labs. It’s divided into two units and focuses on the topics that the Docker Certified Associate exam covers.
Unit 1 covers the Docker fundamentals, Docker Enterprise for Operations, Docker Enterprise for Developers, Swarm, and introduction to Kubernetes. You will learn how to install Docker Community Edition and Docker Enterprise Edition with Kubernetes and CLI. Also, you will learn the Docker cycle, container lifecycle, develop applications in any language, wrap, build, ship, and deploy them for production. Finally, you will learn how to create a Swarm cluster, deploy an app to it, and manage it with the best practices according to the current technologies.
The DCA exam format and the question style have changed since Mirantis acquired Docker. To accommodate this, the quizzes in Unit 2 of the book mirror these changes and will help you prepare faster for the certification exam.
You will:
- Understand the difference between containerization and virtualization
- Install Docker CE on various platforms and manage the resources
- Write Dockerfile, Docker Compose YAML, and Kubernetes manifest YAML files
- Compare microservices and monolithic applications
- Containerize monolithic applications

Learn Data Science Using SAS Studio: A Quick-Start Guide (Amazon Best Seller book)
Published By Apress Springer Nature
Do you want to create data analysis reports without writing a line of code? This book introduces SAS Studio, a free data science web browser-based product for educational and non-commercial purposes. The power of SAS Studio comes from its visual point-and-click user interface that generates SAS code. It is easier to learn SAS Studio than to learn R and Python to accomplish data cleaning, statistics, and visualization tasks.
The book includes a case study about analyzing the data required for predicting the results of presidential elections in the state of Maine for 2016 and 2020. In addition to the presidential elections, the book provides real-life examples, including analyzing stocks, oil and gold prices, crime, marketing, and healthcare. You will see data science in action and how easy it is to perform complicated tasks and visualizations in SAS Studio.
You will learn, step-by-step, how to do visualizations, including maps. In most cases, you will not need a line of code as you work with the SAS Studio graphical user interface. The book includes explanations of the code that SAS Studio generates automatically. You will learn how to edit this code to perform more complicated advanced tasks. The book introduces you to multiple SAS products such as SAS Viya, SAS Analytics, and SAS Visual Statistics.
You will:
- Become familiar with SAS Studio IDE
- Understand essential visualizations
- Know the fundamental statistical analysis required in most data science and analytics reports
- Clean the most common data set problems
- Use linear progression for data prediction
- Write programs in SAS
- Get introduced to SAS-Viya, which is more potent than SAS Studio

Co-Author with Ahmed Abdelhamid, Dina Said, and Rowaa Mostafa
These are notes written by Egyptian travelers; travelers who have not reached their destinations yet! These travelers believe that life is not measured by the number of years you live, but by the depth and value of the feelings and experiences that people go through. These travelers trotted through Germany, Canada, Belgium, America, Somalia, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, and many other countries. Their time to return home has not come yet. Their flights are always departing, and none have made it to their final destination. When and if a final destination is reached, these travelers will arrive as completely different individuals. Their vision, dreams, and maybe even core values will have significantly changed. They will wish that they knew all what they know now, They will wish that they could change so many things about Egypt, After coming to these realizations, they realize, they cannot wait until they return home. Changes must begin now, with the power of their pens. As they continue on their journey, they began to jot down their thoughts, experiences, and tales. They decided to look back to that long road they have walked, to study their own footprints and record how they have changed and how their path has changed. They wanted to document their experiences so others can read them and realize change can be made. Until they return, this group of travelers is unable to change things with their own hands but believe they can change things with their pens. Here are tales of four travelers from the Mn Europa El Balad group who are on the road; in constant travel among cities and ideas.
