Software is everywhere, but despite being so common and useful, it remains magical and mysterious to many. Still, more and more people are finding themselves working for tech companies, or with an array of software products, services, and tools. This can segregate those who understand tech from those that don’t. But it doesn’t have to be this way. This book aims to bring these two worlds closer together, allowing people to learn basic concepts of software development in a casual and straight-forward way. Assuming no previous technical knowledge, you’ll embark on a journey where you can understand and build a new software project from scratch until it is an advanced product with multiple users.

Create a professional looking app from start to finish that takes advantage of iCloud technology. Rather than working with Storyboarding for building your UI, you’ll use code to build professional looking screens. Using code is standard for professional developers to fit form factor alignment across multiple screen sizes and other design constraints. First, you’ll build a basic, functional UX screen. Then you’ll incorporate iCloud with CloudKit for data persistence and private, public, and shared databases. Here your code-drive UI design will expand out to developing professional looking screens with animation. You’ll also learn to work with reminder and notification boxes, sharing data between your users, and adding functionally for interaction with other Apps. Finally, you’ll tackle testing and using Test Flight before publishing your app to the App Store.

Picking the most appropriate tool is essential whenever you develop a dynamic chart online. D3.js is a clear winner here. The author of this book set out to delve deeply into the software engineering community's most widely used charting library. From data requests to scale and style, and even some experiment charts, you'll have a firm grasp on everything you need to know to create your charts. Even though the book covers the basics of D3.js from the beginning, it is not within the scope of the book to cover jаvascript fundamentals. Unfortunately, we would be diverting from the aim of the book if we had to stop to explain jаvascript and doing no one any favors. We will keep the code simple so that it is easy to follow, but if you get stuck at any point due to basics, please stop to check the part you do not know as well. So, it is clear that we are presuming some knowledge of jаvascript in order for you to be able to follow along.

The concept of autonomic computing seeks to reduce the complexity of pervasively ubiquitous system management and maintenance by shifting the responsibility for low-level tasks from humans to the system while allowing humans to concentrate on high-level tasks. This is achieved by building self-managing systems that are generally capable of self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimising, and self-protecting. Trustworthy autonomic computing technologies are being applied in datacentre and cloud management, smart cities and autonomous systems including driverless cars. However, there are still significant challenges to achieving trustworthiness. This book covers challenges and solutions in autonomic computing trustworthiness from methods and techniques to achieve consistent and reliable system self-management. SES is one out of three types of exponential smoothing techniques. It is suitable for series that are unpredictable, i.e., series with no trend or seasonality. Holt’s exponential smoothing is suitable for series with trend and no seasonality while Winter’s exponential smoothing is suitable for series with trend and seasonality. These can be implemented in Python using the Statsmodels package.

Speech represents the most natural means of communication between humans. By using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, machines also become able to interact with humans using speech. This is of particular importance for building interactive robots or speech-enabled chatbots. This book starts by exploring state-of-the-art ASR and TTS approaches, making use of artificial neural networks, relevant also to low-resource scenarios. Then, it explores the application of speech technology to specific domains, such as the medical domain, human-robot interaction, and even interlinking of speech and text resources using linguistic linked open data (LLOD) principles. The book also provides punctuation restoration techniques, enabling the production of high-quality text transcripts. Included algorithms have low latency and can be parallelized, thus enabling their use in interactive systems. Chapter authors are professors and scientific researchers with experience in building and using Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms and speech applications. Supervised learning is a bottleneck for developing more powerful Machine Learning (ML) systems due to the massive amounts of labeled data required to train high-performance models.

Dask is a free and open source library for parallel computing in Python that helps you scale your data science and machine learning workflows. With this quick but thorough resource, data scientists and Python programmers will learn how Dask provides APIs that make it easy to parallelize PyData libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn. Dask is a framework for parallelized computing with Python that scales from multiple cores on one machine to data centers with thousands of machines. It has both low-level task APIs and higher-level data-focused APIs. The low-level task APIs power Dask’s integration with a wide variety of Python libraries. Having public APIs has allowed an ecosystem of tools to grow around Dask for various use cases. Why Do You Need Dask? Dask simplifies scaling analytics and ML code written in Python, allowing you to handle larger and more complex data and problems.

Deep Learning systems, a class of multi-layered networks, are capable of automatically learning meaningful hierarchical representations from a variety of structured and unstructured data. Breakthroughs in Deep Learning (DL) allow us to generate new representations, extract knowledge, and draw inferences from raw images, video streams, text and speech, time series, and other complex data types. These powerful deep learning methods are being applied to new and exciting real-world problems in medical diagnostics, factory automation, public safety, environmental sciences, autonomous transportation, military applications, and much more. This book presents some applications of Deep Learning and includes novel architectures and Deep Learning techniques, which are described in fifteen chapters. Natural Language Processing (NLP) broadly describes the application of Computer Science and Machine Learning to natural language datasets, such as speech or text. The chapter "Language Models for Deep Learning Programming: A Case Study with Keras" explores the application of language models to programming languages and our work in constructing a dataset for the task. More particularly, we focus on the Keras programming language, a popular framework for implementing Deep Learning experiments.
