ACM has created a new Skills Bundle add-on providing unlimited access to ACM's collection of thousands of online books, courses, and training videos from O'Reilly, Skillsoft Percipio, and Pluralsight. ACM’s collection includes more than 60,000 online books and video courses from O’Reilly, 9,700 online courses and 11,000 eBooks and audiobooks from Skillsoft, and 2,000 courses from Pluralsight.

The new Skills Bundle add-on is available to paid Professional Members only. Visit the ACM subscription page or contact Member Services to add the Skills Bundle to your membership.

ACM ByteCast

Listen to ACM ByteCast!

In this episode of ACM ByteCast, Rashmi Mohan hosts ACM Fellow Michael J. Freedman, Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University and co-Founder and CTO of Timescale. Michael’s research interests are in distributed systems, networking, and security. Over the course of his student and professional career, he designed and operated the Coral Content Distribution Network, a peer-to-peer content distribution network; co-founded (with Martin Casado) Illuminics Systems, an IP analytics company; and designed TimescaleDB and JetStream. His many honors and recognitions include the 2018 ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award, Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award.

New Pluralsight Courses and Learning Paths

We have added dozens of new and updated Pluralsight learning paths, with hundreds of new courses added. These significant new additions to the custom ACM Pluralsight course library extend coverage of today’s most in-demand skills, technologies, and vendor certifications, including coverage of .NET and Blazor, Angular, AWS and Azure cloud, C#, Data Engineering, DevOps and ITOps, Generative AI and Machine Learning, Java and the Spring Framework, Kubernetes, Linux, Python, React, and Rust.

Learning Resource

Quantum Cybersecurity Program Management

This book outlines best practices found in standards and frameworks in a risk-based approach to implementing a quantum program of projects. Tailored for quantum champions, IT security architects, business leaders, project managers, digital leadership, and board members, the book offers actionable guidance. Urgent and early adopters will find a practical guide for a quick start to their quantum projects.

Learning Resource

LangChain Development

In this course, you’ll gain the ability to understand how to use the powerful LangChain framework to create real-world LLM (large-language model) applications. First, you’ll explore the fundamentals of this versatile system, including the use of generative AI models, prompt engineering and training. Next, you’ll discover how to make sophisticated applications that use memory, chains and agents. Finally, you’ll learn about how to use vector databases like Pinecone to access external documents, which will allow for richer programs. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of LangChain needed to understand their practical applications.

Learning Resource

Terraform

The Terraform lab is designed to provide a real, no-risk AWS environment for you to learn by doing. It can be used to follow along with the provided lab exercises. The exercises presented in this lab include creating infrastructure with Terraform, defining input variables in Terraform, and providers within modules.

Learning Resource

Incident Response

This path covers the knowledge and skills required to operate as an Incident Responder. The courses take you through a full scenario where an international conglomerate has reportedly been hit with ransomware. This path is for incident responders working the hands-on-keyboard, technical aspects of a reported security incident.

Discover ACM Selects - Shortlists of Learning Resources Curated by Experts

ACM Selects are themed shortlists curated by subject matter experts for both serious and emerging computing professionals, with the goal of providing new ways to discover relevant resources. Please visit our archive of Selects on a variety of subjects which is available here.

ACM Case Studies

Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.

ACM Distinguished Speakers Program

The Distinguished Speakers Program (DSP) is one of ACM's most valued outreach programs, providing universities, corporations, event and conference planners, and local ACM chapters with direct access to top technology leaders and innovators from nearly every sector of the computing industry. ACM will cover the cost of transportation for the speaker to travel to your event.
