One spare computer can run a Linux server, a Windows desktop and a handful of small services at the same time, and this book shows you how to set it up without prior experience. You will install a bare-metal hypervisor, create your first virtual machines, turn a good one into a template, and add lightweight containers for the small jobs. Then you will choose storage on purpose, build a home network with a safe corner for experiments, and set up scheduled backups. Every setting is explained...

People partway through an isotretinoin course (the drug long sold as Accutane) keep saying some version of the same thing: nobody told them it would be like this. Not the acne clearing up — the paperwork, the chapped-everything, the joints that suddenly ache, the mood swings nobody warned them about, and the mistake they made three months after finishing that undid half the progress. Isotretinoin Side Effects Month by Month is the walkthrough that general acne books only mention in a cauti...

A debugger is useless against a bug that only shows up live, scattered across hundreds of requests a second with no reliable way to reproduce it, and most tools engineers know were built for a different problem. This book teaches the skill that replaces the debugger: reading evidence from metrics, logs, thread dumps, heap snapshots, and traces, then building hypotheses you can test cheaply without making things worse. It works through incidents covering memory leaks, deadlocks, performance...

It's 2am, the mask is on the pillow instead of your face, and you're doing the math on whether this was a mistake. Most people who quit CPAP don't quit because the treatment fails, they quit over fixable things: a mask that leaks, a jaw that drops open, a stomach full of swallowed air, numbers on an app nobody explained. This book walks through the first ninety days in the order problems actually arrive, finding a mask that fits, triaging leaks, stopping dry mouth and rainout, and reading ...

The machine is sitting there on the table, or still in its box, or in the closet in the case your aunt left it in. You know it can do something wonderful. You also know the last time you tried to thread it the thread fought back, and the stitches looked like a dotted line. Sewing Machine for Beginners is a calm, step-by-step guide to the machine itself, written for people starting from zero. It is not a clothing or pattern book and it does not assume you already know what a bobbin is. It w...

Logging, security, transactions, caching, retries — these concerns cut across every service method in every enterprise application, and implementing them manually produces the same boilerplate in hundreds of places. Aspect-Oriented Programming removes that duplication. This book teaches AOP on both sides of the enterprise divide. It covers AspectJ, the reference implementation whose vocabulary shaped every AOP framework after it. It covers Spring AOP, the proxy-based framework used by most...
