This book takes you through the most common patterns and frameworks used by developers while creating software based on ROS 2. It's not a programming guide guiding you through the basic APIs, but is meant to help you organizing complex architectural patterns in robotics. It is written with an informal tone that will hopefully keep you entertained. A very informal journey through the new edition of the Robot Operative System: ROS 2. This book will bring you through the most common patterns and frameworks used by software engineers while creating software based on this framework. It will try to do that with an informal tone that hopefully won't make you fall asleep in the process. A convenient way to perform component tests in Python is using Launch testing, a tool that allows the execution of a launch-file in parallel to the tests to be executed. Similarly to what is done in Python, component tests can be written in C++ using the GTests framework introduced in the unit tests section. Before doing this, it must be noted that, the language used to write a component test for a Node, doesn’t need to match the language used to write the node itself. Since these tests communicate to the node using its ROS-interfaces, there’s nothing stopping you from writing Python tests for a C++ node.

Learn how the disruptive AI chatbot is going to change school, work, and beyond. ChatGPT For Dummies demystifies the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool that can answer questions, write essays, and generate just about any kind of text it’s asked for. This powerful example of generative AI is widely predicted to upend education and business. In this book, you’ll learn how ChatGPT works and how you can operate it in a way that yields satisfactory results. You’ll also explore the ethics of using AI-generated content for various purposes. Written by a journalist who's been on the front lines of artificial intelligence for over a decade, this book dives deep into ChatGPT’s potential, so you can make informed decisions―without asking ChatGPT for help. It’s easy to think of ChatGPT as a one-off phenomenon or a hot new trend given its abrupt and sensational emergence on the public scene. But this technology is a harbinger of immense and permanent change. Whether it ultimately succeeds or fails, ChatGPT is changing how we work, play, live, and interact with the world around us. It’s also paving the way for the advancement of AI as a permanent fixture and influencer in the human experience.

Become a cloud developer — and have fun doing it! This full-color guide will help you start creating cloud-based apps and games fast, even if you’ve never done it before. Not just friendly and easy, it puts you in control of your own learning and empowers you to solve problems you care about. Microsoft and author Rob Miles have reinvented the introductory tutorial, reflecting deep research into how newcomers learn. Begin to Code is packed with innovations, from debugging challenges to step-by-step Make Something Happen exercises replicated as YouTube videos linked directly from the book. Miles puts code in context, showing how modern cloud applications are deployed and run, how their elements combine into working systems, and how key cloud technologies help you address security, reliability, and scalability. Easy, friendly, and you’re in control! jаvascript has been described as “the programming language for the cloud.” jаvascript has become extremely popular. You will almost certainly run jаvascript code when you visit a website. jаvascript has also become very popular on web servers (the machines on the Internet that deliver the information the browser requests). A technology called Node.js allows jаvascript programs to run on a server to respond to requests from browsers. We have run our jаvascript applications in the browser, on a PC, and in the cloud. Now, we will deploy them to a much smaller device, a Raspberry Pi. This is a small but powerful computer that can run Node.js.

Delivering software solutions with predictable costs, time, scope, and quality has become more complicated than ever. Developers need to account for multiple moving targets, including often avoided but always relevant factors such as culture, people, and leadership. To effectively deal with these challenges, it’s necessary to rethink the entire delivery chain of modern software development. This book addresses all these topics, putting everything in perspective, from the potential awkwardness created by cultural differences to connecting code with business outcomes to make delivering quality solutions possible. As a software engineer who strives to be his best and challenge the status quo when building IT systems, author Tengiz Tutisani always wanted a book that would cover all of these elements from a developer’s perspective — so he wrote one.

Quick Start Kubernetes, brought to you by best-selling author Nigel Poulton, assumes zero prior experience and gets you to the point you can hold your own in a conversation with an expert, and deploy simple applications. You’ll learn why we have Kubernetes, what it is, and where it’s going. On the theory front, you’ll learn about microservices, orchestration, why Kubernetes is the OS of the cloud, and the architecture of a Kubernetes cluster. On the hands-on front, you’ll have the opportunity to build a cluster, containerize an app, deploy it, break it, see Kubernetes fix it, scale it, and perform an application update. And as this is a quick start guide, you’ll be up-to-speed in no time at all.

This book covers an introduction to convex optimization, one of the powerful and tractable optimization problems that can be efficiently solved on a computer. The goal of the book is to help develop a sense of what convex optimization is, and how it can be used in a widening array of practical contexts with a particular emphasis on Machine Learning. The first part of the book covers core concepts of convex sets, convex functions, and related basic definitions that serve understanding convex optimization and its corresponding models. The second part deals with one very useful theory, called duality, which enables us to: (1) gain algorithmic insights; and (2) obtain an approximate solution to non-convex optimization problems which are often difficult to solve. The last part focuses on modern applications in Machine Learning and Deep Learning. We employ Python as a major programming platform. To solve traditional convex optimization problems such as linear program, least squares, and semi-definite program, we utilize an easy-to-use and high-level language, CVXPY, running in Python. To implement Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms, we employ TensorFlow, one of the most popular Deep Learning frameworks.

Numerical methods are vital to the practice of chemical engineering, allowing for the solution of real-world problems. Written in a concise and practical format, this textbook introduces readers to the numerical methods required in the discipline of chemical engineering and enables them to validate their solutions using both Python and Simulink. Numerical analysts and mathematicians use a variety of tools to develop numerical methods for solving mathematical problems. The most crucial idea mentioned earlier, which includes all mathematical problems, is to change a particular problem into one that can be easily solved. Other ideas vary about the type of mathematical problem that was solved.
