The advent of serverless technologies and infrastructure as code has changed how we build and deploy security services, empowering teams to create low-cost, scalable, and secure services to protect organizations. Drawing on their real-world experiences, Jack Naglieri and Austin Byers explore tools and techniques for successfully building, deploying, and debugging serverless security applications.

Michael Nygard demonstrates how to design and architect systems that admit changebending and flexing through time. Using a blend of information architecture, technical architecture, and some process change, Michael walks you through examples of rigid systems to show how to transform them into more maneuverable architecture.

Terran Melconian explores an organized process for observing a misbehaving complex system, reasoning about possible causes, and isolating the fault. While it is not generally taught, all the successful senior engineers with operational experience Terran has talked to use a variant of this process.

Nikita Shamgunov discusses the future of databases for fast-learning adaptable applications.

Engaging, teaching, mentoring, and advising mature, mostly employed, often enthusiastic and ambitious adult learners at University of Toronto has taught Jerrard Gaertner more about analytics in the real world than he ever imagined. Jerrard shares stories he learned about everything from hyped-up expectations and internal sabotage to organizational streamlining and creating transformative insight.

Engaging critically with data is now a required skill for students in all areas, but many traditional data science programs arent easily accessible to those without prior computing experience. Gunjan Baid and Vinitra Swamy explore UC Berkeley's Data Science program2,000 students across 50 majorsexplaining how its pedagogy was designed to make data science accessible to everyone.

While Jupyter notebooks are a boon for computational science, they are also a powerful tool in the digital humanities. Matt Burton offers an overview of the digital humanities community, discusses defactoringa novel use of Jupyter notebooks to analyze computational researchand reflects upon Jupyters relationship to scholarly publishing and the production of knowledge.

Demba Ba discusses two new signal processing/statistical modeling courses he designed and implemented at Harvard, exploring his perspective as an educator and that of the students as well as the steps that led him to adopt the current cloudJHub architecture. Along the way, Demba outlines the potential of architectures such as cloudJHub to help to democratize data science education.

Music engages and delights. Carol Willing explains how to explore and teach the basics of interactive computing and data science by combining music with Jupyter notebooks, using music21, a tool for computer-aided musicology, and Magenta, a TensorFlow project for making music with machine learning, to create collaborative narratives and publishing materials for teaching and learning.

User story mapping gives you strategies to view features alongside the problems they solve, allowing you to prioritize features regardless of your technical expertise. Emily Stamey walks you through user story mapping, teaching you how to plan your project as if it were a vehicle and deliver the most valuable features to the customer by answering the question, "Whats your skateboard?"

Michael Nygard demonstrates how to design and architect systems that admit changebending and flexing through time. Using a blend of information architecture, technical architecture, and some process change, Michael walks you through examples of rigid systems to show how to transform them into more maneuverable architecture.

Daphne Koller explains how Coursera is using large-scale data processing and machine learning in online education. Building on Coursera's wealth of online learning data, Daphne discusses the role of automation in scaling access to education that is personalized and efficient at connecting people with skills and knowledge throughout their lives.
