Python has had type hinting support since Python 3.5, over TEN years ago! However, Python’s type annotations have changed repeatedly over the years. In Python Typing: Type Checking for Python Programmers, you will learn all you need to know to add type hints to your Python applications effectively. You will also learn how to use Python type checkers, configure them, and set them up in pre-commit or GitHub Actions. This knowledge will give you the power to check your code and your team’s code automatically before merging, hopefully catching defects before they make it into your products. Support the Book! You…

Network analysis in Python usually starts with a single script. You load a dataset, build a graph, calculate metrics, and visualize relationships. For many developers and students, this first step already feels powerful. But once the initial script works, a new question appears almost immediately: what comes next? How do you rerun the analysis on new data, share results, or keep experiments reproducible without constantly relying on a local machine? Let’s focus on that next stage, which is what happens after you write your first network analysis script in Python. What Happens After You Write Your First Network Analysis Script…

Enhance Gemini CLI with new hooks to customize AI assistant workflows without code changes. Improve control and optimize AI for development teams.
A survey of 418 DevOps professionals finds that while DevOps teams closely monitor and observe the performance of applications, not nearly as many are able to correlate the value of those efforts to the business. Conducted by Catchpoint, a unit of LogicMonitor, the survey finds more than two-thirds (67%) believe application degradations are either always […]
