Setting Up a Data Mart Database for Credit Granting
Our project is based on the "Implementation of a Data Mart database for the granting of bank loans at the Caisse d'Epargne Congolaise, (CADECO in acronym)", the objective pursued in this project is the implementation of a decision-making system application to meet the needs of the latter. Our contribution to the study was to produce a Data Mart on the granting of loans, and from this we built a decision tree which we interpreted at the end, and finally this tool enables the decision-maker to have a central vision of all the staff, enabling him to take a strategic decision. This new system we have just set up consists of automatic management of customers, with the said system, we hope that the management of decision-making at CADECO will become easy and pleasant, since it will enable certain difficulties to be resolved.

PowerShell Essential Guide
PowerShell Essentials - Your path to efficient automation and scriptingDESCRIPTION In the last decade, PowerShell has propelled in every way in the automation arena. Since the inception of PowerShell, it has become a de facto tool for automation, and it is the favorite solution of many Windows administrators, with the capability to automate almost any task in the Microsoft ecosystem. Since the advent of PowerShell, it has been a lot easier to import the related modules and invoke the associated cmdlets call to take care of many day-to-day mundane activities, from simple to complex maintenance.Beginning with introductory chapters that cover Azure concepts, an overview of PowerShell, and other related tools, the reader will be introduced to the advanced concepts of Azure components without heavy emphasis on Cloud. This book would give an IT administrator's view of Microsoft Azure by equipping them to construct, manage, and administer workloads on-premise or in the Cloud. The later chapters are straightforward to understand and completely isolated from each section. For every section, the PowerShell code is designed, and readers with no prior experience can jump into the topics and get started with the examples.The aim of this book is to provide the reader with hands-on experience with Azure databases, enabling them to work with what is relevant in the market today and is clearly in the future. It would be great to have hands-on experience with PowerShell; this would help you to progress faster.

Since the release of V0.01 in 2006, to the present V4.0 version, RT-Thread has developed a reputation among developers for its open source strategy. RT-Thread has gained a large following among members of the embedded open source community in China with hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts. RT-Thread is widely used in energy, automotive, medical, consumer electronics, among other applications, making it a mature and stable open source embedded operating system. The purpose of RT-Thread RTOS Design and Implementation is to create an easy learning curve for mastering RT-Thread, so that more developers can participate in the development of RT-Thread and work together to create an open source, tiny, and beautiful Internet of Things operating system. The book's first part introduces the RT-Thread kernel and starts with an overview of RT-Thread before covering thread management, clock management, inter-thread synchronization, inter-thread communication, memory management, and interrupt management. The second part begins with RT-Thread kernel porting and explains how to port RT-Thread to a hardware board to run it. The second part also introduces RT-Thread components and discusses the Env development environment, FinSH console, device management, and network framework. Additional topics covered include: The I/O device framework Virtual file systems Peripheral interfaces Devices including the PIN device, UART device, and ADC device, among others. Each chapter features code samples, as well as helpful tables and graphs, so you can practice as you learn as well as perform your own experiments.
