Jump Start Vue.js (SitePoint)
Monday, 18 February 2019

This short book is ideal for front-end developers who need a rapid introduction to Vue.js. Author Nilson Jacques shows how the component-based architecture of Vue.js is designed to be flexible and easy to adopt, making it just as easy to integrate into projects and use alongside non-Vue code. If you've already used a component-based JavaScript framework such as React, you'll find this book an easy read, but it's also suitable for readers with no prior experience of such frameworks.

Property-Based Testing with PropEr, Erlang and Elixir (Pragmatic Bookshelf)
Written by Kay Ewbank   
Wednesday, 13 February 2019

By using the PropEr framework in both Erlang and Elixir, this book teaches how to automatically generate test cases, test stateful programs, and change how you design your software for more principled and reliable approaches. Author Fred Hebert shows how you can better explore the problem space, validate the assumptions you make when coming up with program behavior, and expose unexpected weaknesses in your design.

Introduction to Deep Learning (MIT Press)
Monday, 11 February 2019

This concise, project-driven guide to deep learning takes readers through a series of program-writing tasks that introduce them to the use of deep learning in such areas of artificial intelligence as computer vision, natural-language processing, and reinforcement learning. Author Eugene Charniak, a longtime artificial intelligence researcher specializing in natural-language processing, covers feed-forward neural nets, convolutional neural nets, word embeddings, recurrent neural nets, sequence-to-sequence learning, deep reinforcement learning, unsupervised models, and other fundamental concepts and techniques. The book illustrates the basics of deep learning by working through programs in the Tensorflow open-source machine learning framework

PyTorch Recipes (Apress)
Friday, 08 February 2019

This book starts with an introduction to PyTorch and tensors, the data structure used to calculate arithmetic operations. Author Pradeepta Mishra then looks at probability distributions using PyTorch, and dives into transformations and graph computations. Along the way the book covers common issues faced with neural network implementation and tensor differentiation. Moving on to algorithms it shows how PyTorch works with supervised and unsupervised algorithms, as well as how convolutional neural networks, deep neural networks, and recurrent neural networks work using it. The book concludes with natural language processing and text processing using PyTorch.
