Learn the many design decisions that must be made before starting to build a large Oracle Application Express (APEX) application for the cloud or enterprise. One of APEX's key strengths is the fact that it is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool. This is also a major weakness when it tempts developers to start coding too soon. Small applications that consist of tens of pages can be coded without a lot of design work because they can be re-factored quickly when design flaws are discovered. Design flaws in large cloud and enterprise applications that consist of hundreds or thousands of pages are not so easy to re-factor due to the time needed to redevelop and retest the application, not to mention the risk of breaking functionality in subtle ways. Designing a large application before coding starts is a profitable exercise because a thoughtful design goes a long way in mitigating cost overruns and schedule slippage while simultaneously enhancing quality. This book takes into account perspectives from other non-developer stakeholders such as maintenance developers, business analysts, testers, technical writers, end users, and business owners. Overlooking these perspectives is one of the chief causes of expensive rework late in the development cycle. Oracle Application Express by Design illustrates APEX design principles by using architecture diagrams, screen shots, and explicit code snippets to guide developers through the many design choices and complex interrelationship issues that must be evaluated before embarking on large APEX projects. This book: Guides you through important, up-front APEX design decisions Helps you to optimize your design by keeping all stakeholders in mind Explicit code examples show how design impacts cost, schedule, and quality What You Will Learn Pick and choose from the list of designs before coding begins Bake optimal quality into the underlying fabric of an APEX application Think and design from outside the developer’s narrow perspective Optimize APEX application designs to satisfy multiple stakeholder groups Evaluate design options through hands-on, explicit code examples Define and measure success for large cloud and enterprise APEX applications Who This Book Is For APEX developers and development teams

Mohan and Oliver have been very fortunate to have intimate views into the data challenges that face the largest organizations and institutions across every possible industry—and what they have been hearing about for some time is how the business needs to use data and analytics to their advantage. They continually hear the same issues, such as: We're spending valuable meeting time wondering why everyone's data doesn't match up. We can't leverage our economies of scale while remaining agile with data. We need self-serve apps that let the enterprise experiment with data and accelerate the development process. We need to get on a more predictive curve to ensure long-term success. To really address the data concerns of today's enterprise, they wanted to find a way to help enterprises achieve the success they seek. Not as a prescriptive process—but a methodology to become agile and leverage data and analytics to drive a competitive advantage. You know, it's amazing what can happen when two people with very different perspectives get together to solve a big problem. This evolutionary guide resulted from the a-ha moment between these two influencers at the top of their fields—one, an academic researcher and consultant, and the other, a longtime analytics practitioner and chief product officer at Teradata. Together, they created a powerful framework every type of business can use to connect analytic power, business practices, and human dynamics in ways that can transform what is currently possible.

Nearly 7,000 new mobile applications appear every day, and a constant stream of data gives them life. Many organizations rely on a predictive analytics model to turn data into useful business information and ensure the predictions remain accurate as data changes. It can be a complex, time-consuming process. This book shows how to automate and accelerate that process using machine learning (ML) on a modern data warehouse that runs on any cloud. Product specialists from MemSQL explain how today’s modern data warehouses provide the foundations to implement ML algorithms that run efficiently. Through several real-time use cases, you’ll learn how to quickly identify the right metrics to make actionable business decisions. This book explores foundational ML and artificial intelligence concepts to help you understand: How data warehouses accelerate deployment and simplify manageability How companies make a choice between cloud and on-premises deployments for building data processing applications Ways to build analytics and visualizations for business intelligence on historical data The technologies and architecture for building and deploying real-time data pipelines This book demonstrates specific models and examples for building supervised and unsupervised real-time ML applications, and gives practical advice on how to make the choice between building an ML pipeline or buying an existing solution. If you need to use data accurately and efficiently, a real-time data warehouse is a critical business tool.

Moore’s law has finally run out of steam for CPUs. The number of x86 cores that can be placed cost-effectively on a single chip has reached a practical limit, making higher densities prohibitively expensive for most applications. Fortunately, for big data analytics, machine learning, and database applications, a more capable and cost-effective alternative for scaling compute performance is already available: the graphics processing unit, or GPU. In this report, executives at Kinetica and Sierra Communications explain how incorporating GPUs is ideal for keeping pace with the relentless growth in streaming, complex, and large data confronting organizations today. Technology professionals, business analysts, and data scientists will learn how their organizations can begin implementing GPU-accelerated solutions either on premise or in the cloud. This report explores: How GPUs supplement CPUs to enable continued price/performance gains The many database and data analytics applications that can benefit from GPU acceleration Why GPU databases with user-defined functions (UDFs) can simplify and unify the machine learning/deep learning pipeline How GPU-accelerated databases can process streaming data from the Internet of Things and other sources in real time The performance advantage of GPU databases in demanding geospatial analytics applications How cognitive computing—the most compute-intensive application currently imaginable—is now within reach, using GPUs
