    Strange Code

    Esoteric Languages That Make Programming Fun Again

    "[No Starch Press] had me at 'esolangs' . . . I am almost always a fan of a book that talks about how to build a programming language. This one not only talks about some of the concepts involved in doing that, and shows how to build two custom languages (Filska and Firefly), AND talks about a few popular esoteric languages and how they warp your brain in a good way, it takes the unusual step of examining some languages that Kneusel describes as 'atypical,' which have some interesting and useful properties. His coverage of CLIPS, alone, is worth the price of admission here.  The knowledge gained here is foundational, and will help [you] with all sorts of different kinds of applications . . . I think every programmer should read it." —Ted Neward, "The Dude of Software," Principal, Neward & Associates; Technologist, Executive Leader, Speaker/Author"A fascinating and thought-provoking tour through programming languages. Strange Code guides you through some mostly forgotten languages—such as Forth, SNOBOL, and CLIPS—before exploring more experimental languages—such as Piet—where your source code is an image. I particularly enjoyed Firefly, a language for the BBC micro:bit, created especially for the book."—Sean McManus, Author of Mission Python: Code a Space Adventure Game!"[Gives] a grounding in the basics of concepts like Turing Completeness without leaving readers to fend for themselves in a forest of of dense computer science arcana. As a reference and source for teachers, Strange Code has much to commend it." —Terry Freedman, Teach Secondary magazine

    Math for Deep Learning

    To truly understand the power of deel learning, you need to grasp the mathematical concepts that make it tick. "Math for deep learning" will give you a working knowledge of probability, statistics, linear algebra, and differential calculus-- the essential math subfields required to practice deep learning successfully. Each subfield is explained with Python code and hands-on, real-world examples that bridge the gap between pure mathematics and its applications in deep learning. The book begins with fundamentals such as Bayes' theorem before progressing to more advanced concepts like training neural networks using vectors, matrices, and derivatives of functions. You'll then put all this math to use as you explore and implement backpropagation and gradient descent-- the foundational algorithms that have enabled the AI revolution.

    Practical Deep Learning

    This book is for people with no experience with machine learning and who are looking for an intuition-based, hands-on introduction to deep learning using Python.Deep Learning for Complete Beginners: A Python-Based Introduction is for complete beginners in machine learning. It introduces fundamental concepts such as classes and labels, building a dataset, and what a model is and does before presenting classic machine learning models, neural networks, and modern convolutional neural networks. Experiments in Python--working with leading open-source toolkits and standard datasets--give you hands-on experience with each model and help you build intuition about how to transfer the examples in the book to your own projects.You'll start with an introduction to the Python language and the NumPy extension that is ubiquitous in machine learning. Prominent toolkits, like sklearn and Keras/TensorFlow are used as the backbone to enable you to focus on the elements of machine learning without the burden of writing implementations from scratch. An entire chapter on evaluating the performance of models gives you the knowledge necessary to understand claims on performance and to know which models are working well and which are not. The book culminates by presenting convolutional neural networks as an introduction to modern deep learning. Understanding how these networks work and how they are affected by parameter choices leaves you with the core knowledge necessary to dive into the larger, ever-changing world of deep learning.
