This book introduces ML concepts and implementations of algorithms in Python both from scratch and with libraries. Each chapter of the book is a walkthrough of an industry adopted application. Author Yuxi (Hayden) Liu uses examples to show the mechanics of ML techniques in areas such as exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, classification, regression, clustering, and NLP. This extended and updated edition now includes implementation with libraries including TensorFlow, gensim and Keras. The scikit-learn codes are also fully modernized.

Subtitled "A Test-Driven Guide to Your First 3D Renderer", this book sets you the challenge of building a photorealistic 3D renderer from scratch. Author Jamis Buck says it's easier than you think. In just a couple of weeks, build a ray-tracer that renders scenes with shadows, reflections, refraction effects, and subjects composed of various graphics primitives: spheres, cubes, cylinders and triangles. With each chapter, the reader is shown how to implement another piece of the puzzle and move the renderer that much further forward. The information is given in a language independent way in plain English, which you translate into tests and code.

This book uses a tutorial approach that begins with your first Ruby program and takes you all the way to sophisticated topics like reflection, threading, and recursion. Authors David A. Black and Joe Leo concentrate on the language and its uses so you can use Ruby in any way you choose. This edition has been updated for Ruby 2.5. By the end of the book the authors have reached topics on Ruby Dynamics, including object individuation, callable and runnable objects, callbacks, hooks, and runtime introspection, and functional programming with Ruby.

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to optimization with a focus on practical algorithms. Authors Mykel J. Kochenderfer and Tim A. Wheeler approach optimization from an engineering perspective, where the objective is to design a system that optimizes a set of metrics subject to constraints. Readers will learn about computational approaches for a range of challenges, including searching high-dimensional spaces, handling problems where there are multiple competing objectives, and accommodating uncertainty in the metrics. The text provides concrete implementations in the Julia programming language.

This book shows how to use Xamarin.Forms to build iOS and Android apps using a single, cross-platform approach. Authors Dan Hermes and Dr. Nima Mazloumi show how to bind UI to data models using data binding and using the MVVM pattern, and how to customize UI elements for each platform using industry-standard menus, effects, custom renderers, and native view declaration.

This book takes an approach that is close to the hardware, introducing addresses, pointers, and how things are represented using binary. An important idea is that everything is a bit pattern and what it means can change. As a C developer, you need to think about the way data is represented, and Harry Fairhead encourages this. He emphasizes the idea of modifying how a bit pattern is treated using type punning and unions. This power brings with it the scourge of the C world – undefined behavior - which is ignored in many books on C. Here, not only is it acknowledged, it is explained, together with ways to avoid it.
