Primitive software chatbots emerged in the 1960s, evolving swiftly through the decades and becoming able to provide engaging human-to-computer interactions sometime in the 1990s. Today, conversational technology is ubiquitous in many homes. Paired with web-searching abilities and neural networking, modern chatbots are capable of many tasks and are a major driving force behind Machine Learning and the quest for strong Artificial Intelligence, also known as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Sophisticated Artificial Intelligence is changing the online world as advanced software chatbots can provide customer service, research duties, and assist in healthcare. Modern chatbots have indeed numerous applications ― including those of a malicious nature. They can write our essays, conduct autonomous scams, and potentially influence politics. The Book of Chatbots is both a retrospective and a review of current Artificial Intelligence-driven conversational solutions. It explores their appeal to businesses and individuals as well as their greater social aspects, including the impact on academia. The book explains all relevant concepts for readers with no previous knowledge in these topics. Unearthing the secrets of virtual assistants such as the (in)famous ChatGPT and many other exciting technologies, The Book of Chatbots is meant for anyone interested in the topic, laypeople and IT-enthusiasts alike.

OpenTelemetry is a revolution in observability data. Instead of running multiple uncoordinated pipelines, OpenTelemetry provides users with a single integrated stream of data, providing multiple sources of high-quality telemetry dаta: tracing, metrics, logs, RUM, eBPF, and more. This practical guide shows you how to set up, operate, and troubleshoot the OpenTelemetry observability system. Authors Austin Parker, head of developer relations at Lightstep and OpenTelemetry Community Maintainer, and Ted Young, cofounder of the OpenTelemetry project, cover every OpenTelemetry component, as well as observability best practices for many popular cloud, platform, and data services such as Kubernetes and AWS Lambda. You'll learn how OpenTelemetry enables OSS libraries and services to provide their own native instrumentation—a first in the industry.

How will software development and operations have to change to meet the sustainability and green needs of the planet? And what does that imply for development organizations? In this eye-opening book, sustainable software advocates Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, and Sara Bergman provide a unique overview of this topic—discussing everything from the likely evolution of national grids to the effect those changes will have on the day-to-day lives of developers. Ideal for everyone from new developers to CTOs, Building Green Software tackles the challenges involved and shows you how to build, host, and operate code in a way that's not only better for the planet but also cheaper and relatively low-risk for your business. The problem with code efficiency is that although cutting CPU/GPU use can potentially have a huge impact on carbon emissions and is well understood—the same techniques have been used for many decades in high-performance computing (HPC)—it is high effort for engineers. You might get a hundredfold reduction in carbon emissions by switching, for example, from Python to a much more efficient language like Rust, but there will be a price to pay in productivity. Developers really do deliver much more quickly when they are using lower machine-efficiency languages like Python.

Graph Data Science with Python and Neo4j is your ultimate guide to unleashing the potential of graph Data Science by blending Python's robust capabilities with Neo4j's innovative graph database technology. From fundamental concepts to advanced analytics and machine learning techniques, you'll learn how to leverage interconnected data to drive actionable insights. Beyond theory, this book focuses on practical application, providing you with the hands-on skills needed to tackle real-world challenges. Python and Neo4j are both terrific tools for graph data science. Each offers powerful tools and frameworks to analyze interconnected data. In theory, it is possible to implement end-to-end graph data science with either Python or Neo4j individually. However, in practice, it is much simpler to leverage both tools together to maximize the value of each tool. Python has become one of the most popular programming languages in the data science community due to its rich ecosystem of libraries and packages, allowing all users to leverage the incredible work of others and jumpstart their analysis. Python comes with several integrated development environments (IDEs) that facilitate code visualization, allowing users not only to view and debug their code but also to create graphs, charts, and various other visual representations of data.

Research Software Engineering: A Guide to the Open Source Ecosystem strives to give a big-picture overview and an understanding of the opportunities of programming as an approach to analytics and statistics. The book argues that a solid "programming" skill level is not only well within reach for many but also worth pursuing for researchers and business analysts. The ability to write a program leverages field-specific expertise and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration as source code continues to become an important communication channel. Given the pace of the development in data science, many senior researchers and mentors, alongside non-computer science curricula lack a basic software engineering component. This book fills the gap by providing a dedicated programming-with-data resource to both academic scholars and practitioners. Even though Research Software Engineering aims to be inclusive and open to a broad audience with different starting points, several prerequisites exist to get the most out of this book. I recommend you have made your first experience with an interpreted programming language like R or Python.
