Eureka Math Grade 5 Succeed Workbook #1 (Modules 1-2)


Book Description

Eureka helps students to truly understand math, connect it to the real world, and prepare them to solve problems they haven't encountered before. The team of teachers and mathematicians who created Eureka Math believe that it is not enough for students to know the process for solving a problem; they need to know why that process works. Eureka presents math as a story, one that develops from grades PK through 12. In A Story of Units, our elementary curriculum, this sequencing has joined with the methods of instruction that have been proven to work, in this nation and abroad.




Learn Microservices with Spring Boot


Book Description

Build a microservices architecture with Spring Boot, by evolving an application from a small monolith to an event-driven architecture composed of several services. This book follows an incremental approach to teach microservice structure, test-driven development, Eureka, Ribbon, Zuul, and end-to-end tests with Cucumber. Author Moises Macero follows a very pragmatic approach to explain the benefits of using this type of software architecture, instead of keeping you distracted with theoretical concepts. He covers some of the state-of-the-art techniques in computer programming, from a practical point of view. You’ll focus on what's important, starting with the minimum viable product but keeping the flexibility to evolve it. What You'll Learn Build microservices with Spring Boot Use event-driven architecture and messaging with RabbitMQ Create RESTful services with Spring Master service discovery with Eureka and load balancing with Ribbon Route requests with Zuul as your API gateway Write end-to-end rests for an event-driven architecture using Cucumber Carry out continuous integration and deployment Who This Book Is For Those with at least some prior experience with Java programming. Some prior exposure to Spring Boot recommended but not required.
