Whether a newbie or a busy pro moving source control to Git, readers will appreciate how this book concentrates on the components of Git that are used every day. In easy-to-follow lessons designed to take an hour or less, readers can dig into Git's distributed collaboration model, along with core concepts like committing, branching, and merging. Instead of a shallow introduction to Git's massive surface area, theyll find a road map to the commands and processes needed to be instantly productive. KEY SELLING POINTS Starts from square oneno experience required Provides a road map to essential commands and processes Easy-to-follow lessons taking an hour or less to complete AUDIENCE This book is aimed at computer professionals of all levelsboth beginners of source code control and newcomers to the Git version control system ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Git is the extremely popular version control system that has taken the open source community by storm. Its designed for speed and efficiency and many open source projects have switched to using Gitthe popularity of GitHub and its "social coding" cannot be denied. "This book is aimed at coding professionals who are beginners to either source control or Git. Anyone who type code into files (whether it is a computer program, a CSS file, or an HTML file) can benefit from learning Git to keep track of their work. This book covers beginners to intermediate level topics."--- xix, about this book. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic! Analysts call it a disruptive technology. Competing standards and technologies pop up daily, and there are no tangible signs of a single protocol that will let all devices, services, and applications communicate seamlessly. Fortunately, there's a great universal IoT application platform available now: the World Wide Web. Web standards and tools provide the ideal substrate for connected devices and applications to exchange data. This vision is called the Web of Things. Building the Web of Things is a hands-on guide for designing and implementing scalable, flexible, and open IoT solutions using Web technologies. This book provides the right balance of theory, code samples, and practical examples, and shows how to connect all sorts of devices to the Web and expose their services and data over REST APIs. After building a simple proof of concept app, readers will learn a systematic methodology and system architecture for connecting things to the Web, finding other things, sharing data, and combining these components to rapidly build distributed applications and physical mashups. With each chapter, readers gain the knowledge and skills needed to take full advantage of a new generation of real-time, web-connected devices and services, giving them the ability to build scalable applications that merge the physical and digital worlds. KEY FEATURES Gets readers started with the Web of Things in minutes Offers a complete toolbox of Web and Internet technologies Hands-on guide for using the web to connect apps to the real world ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY The Web of Things is about using the latest Web technologies as the underlying application-level protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). While the Internet of Things mainly focuses on the networking side of how to connect things, the Web of Things focuses on the application layer, i.e., how things can expose and share their data and services so that they can easily be consumed by Web applications.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. DESCRIPTION In a world where big data is the norm and near-real-time decisions are crucial, machine learning (ML) is a critical component of the data workflow. Machine learning systems can quickly crunch massive amounts of information to offer insights and make decisions in a way that matches or even surpasses human cognitive abilities. These systems use sophisticated computational and statistical tools to build models that can recognize and visualize patterns, predict outcomes, forecast values, and make recommendations. Real-World Machine Learningis a practical guide designed to teach developers the art of ML project execution. The book introduces the day-to-day practice of machine learning and prepares readers to successfully build and deploy powerful ML systems. Using the Python language and the R statistical package, it starts with core concepts like data acquisition and modeling, classification, and regression. Then it moves through the most important ML tasks, like model validation, optimization and feature engineering. It uses real-world examples that help readers anticipate and overcome common pitfalls. Along the way, they will discover scalable and online algorithms for large and streaming data sets. Advanced readers will appreciate the in-depth discussion of enhanced ML systems through advanced data exploration and pre-processing methods. KEY FEATURES Accessible and practical introduction to machine learning Contains big-picture ideas and real-world examples Prepares reader to build and deploy powerful predictive systems Offers tips & tricks and highlights common pitfalls AUDIENCE Code examples are in Python and R. No prior machine learning experience required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Machine learning has gained prominence due to the overwhelming successes of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, LinkedIn, Facebook, and others in their use of ML. The Gartner report predicts that big data analytics will be a $25 billion market by 2017, and financial firms, marketing organizations, scientific facilities, and Silicon Valley startups are all demanding machine learning skills from their developers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
