Use this comprehensive guide to get started with the Oracle Cloud Free Tier. Reading this book and creating your own application in the Free Tier is an excellent way to build familiarity with and expertise in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Even better is that the Free Tier by itself is capable enough and provides all the ingredients needed for you to create secure and robust, multi-tiered web applications of modest size. Examples in this book introduce the broad suite of Always Free options that are available from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You will learn how to provision autonomous databases and autonomous Linux compute nodes. And you will see how to use Terraform to manage infrastructure as code. You also will learn about networking options and application deployment, including how to create and deploy public-facing Application Express solutions and three-tier web applications on a foundation of Oracle REST Data Services. The book also includes a solid introduction to predictive analytics through Oracle Machine Learning Notebooks and Apache Zepplin. Cloud computing is a strong industry trend. Mastering the content in this book leaves you well-positioned to make the transition into providing and supporting cloud-based applications and databases. You will have the knowledge and skills that you need to deploy modest applications along with a growing understanding of Oracle’s Cloud platform that will serve you well as you go beyond the limits of the Always Free options and take full advantage of all that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure can offer. What You Will Learn Know which resources are available for free forever from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Host, manage, and monitor web applications using the freely available components Provision and manage Autonomous Databases and Autonomous Linux Compute Nodes Perform rudimentary predictive analytics using Oracle Machine Learning Notebooks Automate and manage your infrastructure as code using Terraform Monitor and manage costs when you grow beyond the Always Free platform Who This Book Is For Database administrators and application developers who want to learn about Oracle’s cloud offerings, application developers seeking a robust platform on which to build and deploy modest applications at zero cost, and developers and administrators interested in exploring Oracle Application Express running on a self-managing, self-tuning Oracle Database

The author examines issues such as the rightness of web-based applications, the programming language renaissance, spam filtering, the Open Source Movement, Internet startups and more.

In this volume, leading scholars from the fields of communication, educational psychology, and international education address what is known about the strategic role of interpersonal communication in the teaching/learning process. Instruction often involves spoken communication that carries information from teacher to learner, and in these instances the teacher's skillful and strategic use of language has a measurable impact on learning outcomes. Thus, the cumulative findings of instructional communication research are instrumental in maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of both teaching and learning. Major sections of this volume include: Historical and Theoretical Foundations Instructor Characteristics and Behaviors Student Characteristics and Outcomes Pedagogy and Classroom Management Teaching and Learning Communication Across the Life-span This handbook serves researchers, professors, and graduate students by surveying the collective findings of research and experience concerning the intentional activity of teaching and learning.

Further, Deeper, Weirder Explorations of Fringe Culture The second volume of this highly successful exploration of fringe culture delves into the worlds of fashion, UFOlogy, conspiracy theory and other milieux too numerous to mention and too good to be true (but they are).
