Experimentation for Engineers: From A/B testing to Bayesian optimization delivers a toolbox of processes for optimizing software systems. You’ll start by learning the limits of A/B testing, and then graduate to advanced experimentation strategies that take advantage of Machine Learning and probabilistic methods. The skills you’ll master in this practical guide will help you minimize the costs of experimentation and quickly reveal which approaches and features deliver the best business results. This book is for Machine Learning engineers, quantitative traders, and software engineers looking to measure and improve the performance of whatever they’re building. Performance of the systems they build may be gauged by user behavior, revenue, speed, or similar metrics. You might already be working with an experimentation system at a tech or finance company and want to understand it more deeply. You might be planning or aspiring to work with or build such a system. Students entering industry might find that this book is an ideal introduction to industry practices. A reader should be comfortable with Python, NumPy, and undergraduate math (including basic linear algebra).

Build better React apps using hooks and forms. This book picks up where Book 1: The Basics left off. In this book, you continue discovering the ins and outs of React. The focus of this book is working with hooks and forms, as well as further understanding components and JSX. Contrary to some other ways of dealing with forms on the web, with React, forms are put into a state variable, and then React watches for any form-related event, with every such event updating the form’s state. This means that React’s sort of constantly watching your form for any changes.

The first comprehensive introduction to the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding. Performative, improvised, on the fly: live coding is about how people interact with the world and each other via code. In the last few decades, live coding has emerged as a dynamic creative practice gaining attention across cultural and technical fields—from music and the visual arts through to computer science. Live Coding: A User’s Manual is the first comprehensive introduction to the practice, and a broader cultural commentary on the potential for live coding to open up deeper questions about contemporary cultural production and computational culture. This multi-authored book—by artists and musicians, software designers, and researchers—provides a practice-focused account of the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding, including expositions from a wide range of live coding practitioners. In a more conceptual register, the authors consider liveness, temporality, and knowledge in relation to live coding, alongside speculating on the practice’s future forms.

Integrated Human-Machine Intelligence: Beyond Artificial Intelligence focuses on deep situational awareness in human-computer integration, covering the interaction and integration mechanisms of human intelligence, machine intelligence and environmental systems. The book also details the cognitive, philosophical, social, scientific and technological, and military theories and methods of human-computer division, cooperation and collaborative decision-making to provide basic theoretical support for a development strategy in the field of national intelligence. Sections focus on describing a new form of intelligence produced by the interaction of human, machine and environmental systems which will become the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Man-machine integration intelligence, in short, is to make full use of the advantages of man and machine to create a new form of intelligence.

Build resilient and scalable, cloud-native, enterprise Java applications using the Quarkus framework. Java is one of the most popular programming languages utilized for developing enterprise systems. With its vast ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, standards, runtimes, and most importantly us, the developers, Java represents a genuine choice for building modern, robust, and scalable software. Quarkus is a Java framework that targets microservices and serverless system development. Quarkus emerged as an alternative to the existing Java microservices stacks to provide an application framework that delivers an unmatched performance benefits while still providing a development model utilizing the APIs (Application-Programming interfaces) of popular libraries and Java standards that the Java ecosystem has been practicing for years. Quarkus also puts a strong focus on developer productivity because, as developers know a technology’s productivity and usability are what is appreciated the most.

This comprehensive book is primarily intended for researchers, computer vision specialists, and high-performance computing specialists who are interested in parallelizing computer vision techniques for the sake of accelerating the run-time of computer vision methods. This book covers different penalization methods on different parallel architectures such as multi-core CPUs and GPUs. It is also a valuable reference resource for researchers at all levels (e.g., undergraduate and postgraduate) who are seeking real-life examples of speeding up the computer vision methods’ run-time. Computer vision is one field that is considered compute-intensive. This is because the input can be an image or a video. As the input is of large size, then the computing/processing time is huge as well. In addition, Deep Learning methods are heavily used in the field of computer vision. Thus, utilizing the parallel architecture for improving the runtime of the computer vision methods is of great interest and benefit.

Written for developers who need to create user-facing Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs), Business-Friendly DSLs unlocks clear and practical methods to create DSLs with easy-to-use interfaces. In this book, we’re going to explore how to develop software tools for the business experts that allow them to write down their business knowledge in a way that’s understandable for them. Moreover, the business knowledge written down that way will be automatically translated into working software, without requiring a software developer for every change. This puts the business experts, rather than the software developers, at the center of software development. Written for developers who need to create user-facing DSLs, Business-Friendly DSLs unlocks clear and practical methods to create DSLs with easy-to-use interfaces. Author Meinte Boersma lays out an iterative process for creating languages accessible to domain experts such as operations specialists, data analysts, and financial experts. You'll start with an overview of software language engineering before diving into the unique projectional editing paradigm that makes it easy to produce DSLs for business.

Master the geometry behind CAD, game engines, GIS, and more! This hands-on book teaches you the math behind the tools and libraries you use to create simulations, 3D prints, and other models of the physical world. Geometry for Programmers reveals important geometry concepts you need to write more efficient code. It’s full of practical guidance that’s relevant to your daily work as a developer. There are no unnecessary theory or formal proofs. Instead, you’ll learn how geometry can help you optimize your code for boosts to performance, and real reductions in your cloud services bill. You don’t have to be good at math to enjoy it. We will delegate all the non-trivial math to SymPy – a Python library that does your math for you. You don’t have to have a good memory either, the book is supposed to help you build the proper intuition, not just pack your head with terms and definitions. There are no theorems or proofs, but there are Python snippets with formulas in them. The book addresses geometry but it speaks in the programmer’s language.
