Summary : Grunt is everywhere. JavaScript projects from jQuery to Twitter Bootstrap use Grunt to convert code, run tests, and produce distributions for production. It's a build tool in the spirit of Make and Rake, but written with modern apps in mind. This book gets you up to speed with Grunt using practical hands-on examples, so you can wrangle your projects with ease. You'll learn how to create and maintain tasks and project builds, and automate your workflow with plugins and IPS tasks. JavaScript has moved from being the language you love to hate to the language you need to use. And as JavaScript applications get more complex, you need a process to manage that complexity. While online tutorials just explain how to slap together a configuration file, this book goes further and shows you how to create your own tasks, design your own project templates, combine plugins together to bring a web app to life, and build your own plugins. You'll start by learning the basics of task creation, error handling, and logging as you create a simple configuration that executes basic JavaScript code using Node.js. Then you'll jump right into file manipulation as you read, write, copy, and delete files. You'll learn how Grunt's powerful multitasks work as you build a task to concatenate files together. Once you've got a grasp on these basics, you'll build a simple app with AngularJS and CoffeeScript, using Grunt to do all the heavy lifting and script processing. Finally, you'll create your own plugin so you can understand how plugins work. Each chapter contains hands-on exercises and ideas for further study. Whether you rock Ruby or sling C#, Grunt will be a useful addition to your toolbox. What You Need: This book covers Grunt 0.4.1 and higher, and requires basic knowledge of JavaScript and command-line tools on Windows, OS X, or Linux.

Summary : For experienced JavaScript developers this book is all you need to build highly scalable, robust applications using Express. It takes you step by step through the development of a single page application so you learn empirically. Key Features Learn how to build scalable, robust, and reliable web applications with Express using a test-first, feature-driven approach Full of practical tips and real world examples, and delivered in an easy-to-read format Explore and tackle the issues you encounter in commercially developing and deploying an Express application Book DescriptionBuilding an Express application that is reliable, robust, maintainable, testable, and can scale beyond a single server requires a bit of extra thought and effort. Express applications that need to survive in a production environment will need to reach out to the Node ecosystem and beyond, for support.You will start by laying the foundations of your software development journey, as you drive-out features under test. You will move on quickly to expand on your existing knowledge, learning how to create a web API and a consuming client. You will then introduce a real-time element in your application.Following on from this, you will begin a process of incrementally improving your application as you tackle security, introduce SSL support, and how to handle security vulnerabilities. Next, the book will take you through the process of scaling and then decoupling your application. Finally, you will take a look at various ways you can improve your application's performance and reliability.What you will learn Drive Express development via test Build and consume a RESTful web API using client and server-side templating Secure and protect Express with passport authentication and SSL via stud Scale Express beyond a single server with Redis and Hipache Decouple Express for improved scalability and maintainability Support real-time application development with Socket.IO Handle failures with a minimum impact to service availability using cluster and domains Understand and cope with Express limitations, including when and where to go for help Who this book is for If you are an experienced JavaScript developer who wants to build highly scalable, real-world applications using Express, this book is ideal for you. This book is an advanced title and assumes that the reader has some experience with Node.js, JavaScript MVC web development frameworks, and has heard of Express before, or is familiar with it. You should also have a basic understanding of Redis and MongoDB.

Summary : The audit profession is standing at one of the most significant turning points in its history. Across industries, the rapid expansion of digital ecosystems—cloud platforms, SaaS applications, automation tools, and AI-driven decision systems—is reshaping how organizations operate, generate value, and manage risk. As business processes become faster, more interconnected, and data-heavy, the traditional audit model—anchored in periodic sampling, manual testing, and retrospective analysis—can no longer keep pace. The Digital Auditor: Harnessing AI, Analytics, and Automation for Smarter Assurance presents a practical, future-ready roadmap for auditors, audit leaders, and risk professionals who recognize that their roles must evolve. The goal is not simply to digitize existing procedures, but to rethink the audit function from the ground up: how evidence is collected, how risks are detected, how insights are generated, and how assurance is delivered. This book combines real-world experience, modern audit technologies, and emerging global trends to offer an accessible yet comprehensive guide for every stage of digital transformation. Whether you are a senior auditor implementing data-driven testing, a manager designing automated workflows, or a firm leader building a digital-first assurance strategy, this book equips you with the frameworks, techniques, and mindsets needed to thrive in the new auditing era.
