<strong>Develop a blockchain notary office on Ethereum and learn all about Solidity, Remix, Ganache, Geth, Metamask, and Truffle</strong>
        <p>The Complete 2020 Ethereum & Solidity Developer Bootcamp is for anyone who wants to get started with building applications and implementing self-enforcing business logic in smart contracts. This course will help you learn everything there is to know about Solidity and understand the big picture of the blockchain industry with a balance of theory and practical experience.
You'll not only learn the fundamentals of Solidity but also get to grips with its safe handling and best practices. This course avoids extensive theory by giving you a direct lab entry where you'll learn by doing. With the help of HD video lessons, this bootcamp will take you through creating, testing, and troubleshooting. You'll then learn how to use smart contracts in different scenarios and browsers. The course demonstrates how a blockchain application is created from scratch, and together with your instructor, you'll develop a blockchain notary office, test it, and deploy it to different networks.

<strong>Get to grips with Docker, containers versus images, and more by learning through a hands-on approach</strong>
        <p>If you have never worked with containerization before or you need a quick refresher on the most common commands and patterns using Docker, then this course is for you. Although there are other containerization frameworks or tools, Docker has emerged as the standard when it comes to using it for everything from developers' machines to production-ready cloud deployments.
In this course, you will learn how to use Docker in your daily development workflow from the very start to increase your productivity. You'll discover Docker Run, before going on to understand how to read, understand, and write docker-compose.yml files. As you progress, the course will take you through developing Docker images, along with helping you understand the technique of creating a custom configuration with Dockerfile. Later, you will explore the benefits of a local development environment versus virtual machines versus Docker.
By the end of this course, you will be well-versed with Docker, and have developed the skills you need to use it effectively to manage your environment.
All the codes and supporting files for this course are available at - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Working-with-Docker-Dockerfile-and-Docker-Compose</p>
        <h2>What You Will Learn</h2><p>Read, understand and write your Dockerfiles effectively<br>Understand the difference between Host-Volume and Named-Volume mounting<br>Get up to speed with reading and writing your docker-compose.yaml files<br>Become well-versed with improving real-world docker-compose.yaml files<br>Explore the most important Docker Run flags and everyday use cases</p>
        <h2>Audience</h2><p>This course is for anyone looking to understand Docker and how to use it to share, ship and reproduce an environment across teams. You will also find the course useful if you need a quick yet comprehensive and hands-on guide to Docker.</p>
        <h2>Approach</h2><p>This course follows a hands-on approach to explaining Docker. It helps you learn in a systematic manner, covering everything from the basics to real-world examples.</p>
        <h2>Key Features</h2><p>Explore the process of installing Docker on Windows Professional or Server (with Hyper-V) * Become well-versed with running a single Docker Container as well as multiple Docker Containers * Understand how to use and define network segregation in Docker and the Docker0 network</p>

IP Address Types</p><p style='margin: 0'>As soon as we have a new virtual network, we can create VMs as resources inside that virtual network or inside a specific subnet. Each resource must be assigned with at least one private IP address from the virtual network address range we allocated to the virtual network. In addition, if we want a resource inside the virtual network to access the outside internet than we will need to use also a public IP address.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>6. VM, NICs and IP Configuration</p><p style='margin: 0'>We have an IP address, that can be public or private created dynamically or with a static configuration.

Section Overview</p><p style='margin: 0'>Here, we investigate the topics covered in this section.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>2. The Power of a Cloud Storage</p><p style='margin: 0'>Cloud storage is basically the option to store data on the Internet through a cloud computing provider who manages and operates data storage as a service. We talked about it in the introduction course about cloud computing, but this is the power of the cloud, it is a public infrastructure enabling companies to build applications that can scale on a global level without the limitation of a single private data center.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>3. Types of Cloud Storage Services</p><p style='margin: 0'>These are three main storage types Block Storage, File Storage, and Object Storage.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>4. Azure Storage Services</p><p style='margin: 0'>Storage services provided by public cloud providers are basically a mix of multiple options to fulfill the storage needs of a variety of applications.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>5. Storage Accounts</p><p style='margin: 0'>Any type of storage service, like blobs, files, disks, tables, and queues that we would like to use must be allocated inside a logical entity called a storage account. A storage account entity can be created and managed by us or in some cases it will be created and managed by Azure.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>6. Storage Replication Options</p><p style='margin: 0'>One of the most valuable features in a public cloud is high data durability. We know that data can be damaged because of many things like hardware failures, network or power outages, or maybe some massive site disasters. Systems availability is a critical factor and data is a critical component in almost all systems. Therefore, Microsoft Azure and other cloud providers are replicating our data and enable us to configure the best replication option for our application.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>7. Demo - Creating and Managing a Storage Account</p><p style='margin: 0'>Let's review how to create and manage a storage account.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>8. VMs Disks</p><p style='margin: 0'>In addition to allocating computing power and setting networking connectivity, we also would like the capability to allocate storage capacity as virtual disks. These are three types of azure VM disks: - Operating System Disk (OS Disk), Temporary Disk and Data Disk/s.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>9. Demo - Create, Attach and Detach Data Disks</p><p style='margin: 0'>Let's review how to create, attach and detach data disks for VMs.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>10. Encryption Data at Rest</p><p style='margin: 0'>Security is a critical part of any solution, including the storage. Our next topic is encryption data at rest, meaning data that is stored in Microsoft Azure storage services. These are Azure Key Vault, SSE - Storage Service Encryption, Azure Disk Encryption (ADE).</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br><h4>5. Azure IaaS - Compute</h4><p></p><table width='100%'><tbody><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>1. Section Overview</p><p style='margin: 0'>Here, we investigate the topics covered in this section.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>2. Virtualization</p><p style='margin: 0'>At the core technology value of virtualization, we can say that virtualization is a great way to divide and optimize physical IT resources into logical entities or also called virtual resources. It is an abstraction management layer of physical objects into logical objects. Now going back to the cloud, a public cloud environment is all about virtualization but of course in a much larger scale than a single private data center.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>3. Virtual Machines</p><p style='margin: 0'>VM as a resource can be allocated on-demand while using the flexibility comes with a cloud environment. We can define the required VM from a variety of VM types and sizes to be used for different application workloads.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>4. VM Types and Sizes</p><p style='margin: 0'>Every application or better call it workload will have a different resources consumption profile. Some applications require more CPUs power and less memory capacity and in other cases, it will be the other way around, more memory and less CPU power. So Microsoft Azure provides us with a variety of VM types and sizes that will be more optimized to the resources consumption profile of our application.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>5.

1. Section Overview
Here, we investigate the topics covered in this section.
2. What is a Virtual Network?
A virtual network is basically a private isolated connectivity layer being used to connect between a group of cloud resources.
3. Virtual Network Setting
In azure a virtual network is a managed entity that users are creating with a group of setting that is configured during the creation process or added later when the virtual network entity is already created.
4. Demo - Creating a Virtual Network (VNet)
Let's review the all process end-to-end for creating virtual network and subnets.
5. IP Address Types
As soon as we have a new virtual network, we can create VMs as resources inside that virtual network or inside a specific subnet. Each resource must be assigned with at least one private IP address from the virtual network address range we allocated to the virtual network. In addition, if we want a resource inside the virtual network to access the outside internet than we will need to use also a public IP address.
6. VM, NICs and IP Configuration
We have an IP address, that can be public or private created dynamically or with a static configuration. In Azure, we have a virtual machine, network interfaces and IP configuration profiles. Let's see how those building blocks are connected and what kind of combination we can create.
7. Demo - Network Interfaces and IP Configuration
Let's review how to create network interfaces, attach them to VMs and create or adjust IP configuration.
8. Network Security Group (NSG)
All public cloud providers provide an ability to filter traffic and I am planning to present how it is being done in Microsoft Azure. In Microsoft Azure, we can filter network traffic to and from resources in a virtual network with an entity that is called a network security group.
9. Application Security Group (ASG)
Another useful option in Azure related to traffic filtering is using application security groups. The focus is moving to the function of the applications. We can group VMs based on their function.
10. Demo - Configuring NSG and ASG
Let's review how to configure NSG and ASG.
4. Azure IaaS - Storage

1. Section Overview
Here, we investigate the topics covered in this section.
2. The Power of a Cloud Storage
Cloud storage is basically the option to store data on the Internet through a cloud computing provider who manages and operates data storage as a service. We talked about it in the introduction course about cloud computing, but this is the power of the cloud, it is a public infrastructure enabling companies to build applications that can scale on a global level without the limitation of a single private data center.
3. Types of Cloud Storage Services
These are three main storage types Block Storage, File Storage, and Object Storage.
4. Azure Storage Services
Storage services provided by public cloud providers are basically a mix of multiple options to fulfill the storage needs of a variety of applications.
5. Storage Accounts
Any type of storage service, like blobs, files, disks, tables, and queues that we would like to use must be allocated inside a logical entity called a storage account. A storage account entity can be created and managed by us or in some cases it will be created and managed by Azure.
6. Storage Replication Options
One of the most valuable features in a public cloud is high data durability. We know that data can be damaged because of many things like hardware failures, network or power outages, or maybe some massive site disasters. Systems availability is a critical factor and data is a critical component in almost all systems. Therefore, Microsoft Azure and other cloud providers are replicating our data and enable us to configure the best replication option for our application.
7. Demo - Creating and Managing a Storage Account
Let's review how to create and manage a storage account.
8. VMs Disks
In addition to allocating computing power and setting networking connectivity, we also would like the capability to allocate storage capacity as virtual disks. These are three types of azure VM disks: - Operating System Disk (OS Disk), Temporary Disk and Data Disk/s.
9. Demo - Create, Attach and Detach Data Disks
Let's review how to create, attach and detach data disks for VMs.
10. Encryption Data at Rest
Security is a critical part of any solution, including the storage. Our next topic is encryption data at rest, meaning data that is stored in Microsoft Azure storage services. These are Azure Key Vault, SSE - Storage Service Encryption, Azure Disk Encryption (ADE).
5. Azure IaaS - Compute

1. Section Overview
Here, we investigate the topics covered in this section.
2. Virtualization
At the core technology value of virtualization, we can say that virtualization is a great way to divide and optimize physical IT resources into logical entities or also called virtual resources. It is an abstraction management layer of physical objects into logical objects. Now going back to the cloud, a public cloud environment is all about virtualization but of course in a much larger scale than a single private data center.
3. Virtual Machines
VM as a resource can be allocated on-demand while using the flexibility comes with a cloud environment. We can define the required VM from a variety of VM types and sizes to be used for different application workloads.
4. VM Types and Sizes
Every application or better call it workload will have a different resources consumption profile. Some applications require more CPUs power and less memory capacity and in other cases, it will be the other way around, more memory and less CPU power. So Microsoft Azure provides us with a variety of VM types and sizes that will be more optimized to the resources consumption profile of our application.
5. Demo - Creating a VMs
Let's review how to create a new VM while following the all process end-to-end.
6. Demo - VMs Settings
VMs Setting are as follows: - Attaching Network Interfaces, attaching Data Disks, scaling a VM Size, security recommendations, adding Extensions and configure access control.
7. Demo - VMs Operations
VMs Operations are as follows: - shutdown/Run a VM, configure Auto-shutdown, scheduled Backups, using Inventory management for installed software components and running scripts on a VM.
8. Demo - VMs Monitoring
VMs Monitoring include - analysing activity logs, review metrics or KPIs, configure alerts, configure the diagnostics setting and review the Azure Advisor recommendations

Personal Growth - You will discover for yourself the increased level of Reiki healing and be able to use its methods of healing on others and have paying clients if you wish
Why a Level 2 Course? Reiki at Level 2 is the level of training which is needed to practise Reiki healing professionally and have paying clients. Often reflexologists, aromatherapists and other complementary therapists add reiki healing to their range of healing skills that they offer their clients. 
However it is not just for those who have clients it is also a powerful self-development technique for your own personal healing experience and to share with family/friends and give them the benefit of well-being.
A certificate at Reiki Level One is needed for you to enrol on this course and I am happy to accept students who have trained elsewhere with another Reiki Master.
The Reiki Two course is taught live on line using Zoom.

Take the First Step Towards a Successful Career in the Electrical Industry with the SPA Health & Safety Core Day
Are you ready to kickstart or advance your career in the electrical industry? Obtaining the ECS Labourer Card is a crucial milestone that demonstrates your competence in assisting electricians in their installations. This card not only opens doors for new opportunities but also ensures that you are recognized as a qualified professional in the field. One of the most efficient ways to qualify for this essential certification is by completing the SPA Health & Safety Core Day, offered by MJ Electrical Training.
Why is the ECS Labourer Card Important?
The ECS Labourer Card is a must-have for anyone looking to start or further their career in the electrical industry. It signifies that you are competent to assist electricians in their electrical installations under supervision, ensuring safety and efficiency on the job. While advanced qualifications like the JIB Gold Card require extensive training and experience, the ECS Labourer Card provides a valuable entry point for newcomers, trainees, and those aiming to become fully qualified electricians.
Pathways to the ECS Labourer Card
MJ Electrical Training outlines two primary routes to gaining the ECS Labourer Card, depending on your previous qualifications and experience:
1. Route One: If you already hold approved JIB theory qualifications, you may be exempt from additional health and safety courses.
2. Route Two: If you do not hold these qualifications, you will need to complete an ECS-approved Health & Safety Course. The SPA Health & Safety Core Day is one of the most accessible and comprehensive options available.
SPA Health & Safety Core Day: Your Gateway to ECS Health & Safety Exemption
The SPA Health & Safety Core Day, offered by MJ Electrical Training for just £174.00 (including VAT), is a one-day online face-to-face training course delivered via Teams or Zoom. Available every week, this course is designed to provide you with the essential health and safety knowledge required for the electrical industry. Completing this course will exempt you from the ECS Health & Safety Assessment, streamlining your path to obtaining the ECS Labourer Card.
Who Should Take This Course?
The SPA Health & Safety Core Day is ideal for anyone looking to gain an ECS Labourers Card or complete an ECS Health & Safety Exemption:
Practising electricians looking to formalise their safety training.
Trainees and apprentices in the electrical industry.
Associated trade professionals such as electrical engineers, contracts managers, designers, consultants, surveyors, builders, and plumbers.
Benefits of the SPA Health & Safety Core Day
Comprehensive Training: The course covers all necessary aspects of health and safety in the electrical industry, ensuring you are well-prepared for your role.
Flexible Learning: Delivered online, you can complete the training from the comfort of your home or office, making it convenient and accessible.
Certification: Upon completion, you will receive a certificate that can be used to evidence you meet the H&S requirements for the ECS Labourer Card.
Further Opportunities with the ECS Labourer Card
Obtaining the ECS Labourer Card allows you to progress into employment and onto further qualifications, such as:
City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification (2392-10)
City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in Building Regulations for Electrical Installation Contractors in Dwellings (2393-10)
City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Initial Verification (2391-50)
City & Guilds Level 3 Award in the Periodic Inspection (2391-51)
City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Inspection and Testing (2391-52)
City & Guilds Level 4 Higher Professional Diploma in Building Services Engineering (4467-04)
To qualify for the ECS Labourer Card, not only must you have an ECS-approved H&S course, but you must also demonstrate active engagement in the electrotechnical sector. This proof can be provided through:
An application by your employer via the ECS Employer Portal.
A written reference from your current employer on company-headed paper, stating your role as an electrical labourer, start date, and signed by an authorised person.
Confirmation of your contract duration from an agency if you are working through one.
Documented proof of enrolment in a related electrical course from your educational institution.
Additionally, you can submit an offer letter, employment contract, or recent payslip from a reputable business within the industry. These documents validate your eligibility and expertise, completing the ECS Labourer Card application process.
