Torch for Machine and Deep Learning Training Course

This is an advanced course on Lua, where basic knowledge of the programming language is already assumed. Therefore, this course gives the participant a more profound understanding of Lua internals and the "why" behind the used Lua idioms.

These advanced topics are demonstrated by plenty of examples and in-class exercises.

Lua is an easy to use scripting language that is used as an embedded plugin/extension language in different products. For example, it is the embedded scripting language of network applications like nmap and wireshark, and can also be found as a scripting language in World of Warcraft, Orbiter and other games.

Lua can also be used as a standalone language. It is a lightweight, multi-paradigm programming language and therefore the course teaches various concepts that students will find useful in other areas of software engineering as well.

This course covers everything out there to know about Lua. We build up from the basic programming constructs, learn about advanced techniques and finally talk about embedding of Lua into other programming languages and embedding other programming languages into Lua. The course contains a lot of programming exercises, so that newcomers can gain proficiency with the language, starting from scratch.

After completing the course the students will be able to write middle sized standalone Lua programs and script software products where Lua is the embedded language.

OpenResty is a full-fledged web platform that integrates Nginx, LuaJIT, and Lua libraries. It allows for the construction of high-performance web applications capable of handling 10K ~ 1000K+ connections in a single box. OpenResty is used by Alibaba, CloudFlare, and Tumblr, among others.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use OpenResty to build a number of demo solutions, including a web application, web service, and a dynamic web gateway.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Turn an nginx web server into a web application server
• Use the Lua programming language to script nginx C modules and Lua modules
• Run server-side web applications completely inside the Nginx server
• Integrate OpenResty with remote backends such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Memcached, and Redis

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

The purpose of the training is to provide a basis for programming from the ground up to the general syntax of programming paradigms. The training is supported by examples based on programming languages ​​such as C, Java, Python, Scala, C #, Closure and JavaScript. During the training, participants gain a general understanding of both the programming patterns, best practices, commonly used design and review of the implementation of these topics through various platforms. Each of the issues discussed during the course are illustrated with examples of both the most basic and more advanced and based on real problems.

This course is addressed to junior software developers. After the course completion, the trainees will be able to understand the architecture of well-known web servers such as Apache or Nginx, and implement their own network programs.

The course is 67% lectures, 33% hands-on exercises.

Why do we need Clean Code? Programs evolve, therefore the code is continuously updated it can be very, very difficult to go back through unclean code to find and update the source code on average, the cost of writing the original code is only 40% of the total cost of a system; 60% of the cost, on average, is spent maintaining and updating code. Bad code dramatically increases that 40/60 ratio, bordering on 20/80 in the worst cases; the more unclean the code is, the more time we just spend updating it.

This course teaches the practical use of Hibernate for persisting Java objects in a relational database.

Applications for the Android platform are developed primarily in Java. This course was developed for software programmers with a strong OOP background (whether in PHP, Scala, C++, C# or Objective C) that plan to learn how to develop Java applications for the android platform. This course covers the Java programming language grammar and focuses on those specific Java capabilities the android platform uses more than others.

JUnit is a framework to write repeatable tests and do unit testing for Java language.

During the training participant will know the specific use of selected issues, the basic problems encountered when using them, and the role of the application model. The training also includes a basic knowledge of the language standard library functions. Training requires knowledge of the development environment IDE used to build Java applications (e.g.. Eclipse, Netbeans). Training does not include a user interface issues.

The course covers the basics of Java development and introduces the Apache Maven software project management and comprehension tool.

Description

The Java language and the Runtime Environment (JRE) was designed to be free from the most problematic common security vulnerabilities experienced in other languages, like C/C++. Yet, software developers and architects should not only know how to use the various security features of the Java environment (positive security), but should also be aware of the numerous vulnerabilities that are still relevant for Java development (negative security).

The introduction of security services is preceded with a brief overview of the foundations of cryptography, providing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and the operation of the applicable components. The use of these components is presented through several practical exercises, where participants can try out the discussed APIs for themselves.

The course also goes through and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws of the Java language and platform, covering both the typical bugs committed by Java programmers and the language- and environment-specific issues. All vulnerabilities and the relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by the recommended coding guidelines and the possible mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security and secure coding
• Learn Web vulnerabilities beyond OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn to use various security features of the Java development environment
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn about typical coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Get information about some recent vulnerabilities in the Java framework
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices
