AGPIAL A Good Person Is Always Learning.Azure Integration Services (Audio/Video Book)Integration today No application is an island. To get the most from the software you build or buy, you need to connect it to other software. This means that effective application integration is essential for just about every organization. Sometimes, all you need to do is connect one application directly to another. More often, though, application integration means connecting multiple independent systems, often in complex ways. This is why organizations commonly rely on specialized integration platforms that provide the services needed to do this. Like so much else today, those platforms have moved from on-premises datacenters into the public...

AGPIAL A Good Person Is Always Learning.Chapter 4: Energy Management: Mastering Altitude and Airspeed Control Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3C) AudiobookChapter Summary.
Every pilot is an energy manager—managing energy in the form of altitude and airspeed from takeoff to landing.
Proper energy management is essential for performing any maneuver as well as for attaining and maintaining desired vertical flightpath and airspeed profiles in everyday flying.
It is also critical to flight safety since mistakes in managing energy state can contribute to loss of control inflight (LOC-I), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), and approach and landing accidents.
The objectives of this chapter are for pilots to: 1) gain an understanding of basic en...

AGPIAL A Good Person Is Always Learning.Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3C) AudiobookChapter Summary.
The four fundamental maneuvers of straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents are the foundation of basic airmanship.
Effort and continued practice are required to master the fundamentals.
It is important that a pilot consider the six motions of flight: bank, pitch, yaw and horizontal, vertical, and lateral displacement.
In order for an airplane to fly from one location to another, it pitches, banks, and yaws while it moves over and above, in relationship to the ground, to reach its destination.
The airplane should be treated as an...

The pilot should ensure that the airplane is in a safe condition for flight, and it meets all the regulatory requirements of 14 CFR part 91.
A pilot also needs to recognize that flight safety includes proper flight preparation and having the experience to manage the risks associated with the expected conditions.

AGPIAL A Good Person Is Always Learning.AWS Serverless Multi-Tier ArchitecturesIntroduction
The multi-tier application (three-tier, n-tier, etc.)
has been a cornerstone architecture pattern for decades.
The multi-tier pattern provides good guidelines for you to follow to ensure decoupled and scalable application components that can be separately managed and maintained (often by distinct teams).
Multitiered applications are often built using a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach to using web services.
In this approach, the network acts as the boundary between tiers.
However, there are many undifferentiated aspects of creating a new web service tier as part of your application.
