If you've been looking for an alternative to The Rails Way, this book is for you. It will change the way you think about designing and implementing web applications with Ruby. It shows patterns, techniques, and tools that you can use to deal with growing complexity, better organize and documenting your codebase. Learn how to build a maintainable JSON REST API by using the Roda and Sequel and dry-rb set of gems. Move away from messy, traditional Rails code and move towards crisp, clean code. This book is best suited for experienced Ruby developers. If you’re new to Ruby, you will probably understand some of the terms I’m using here, but to get the most out of this guide, you should have some Rails experience under your belt.

A compilation of top best practices for improving the developer experience for an API-as-a-Product. At Nordic APIs, we pay special attention to the overall strategy behind Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). And time and time again, we've found that quality developer experience truly sets apart favorite services with high adoption from the underperforming ones. So, how can you design a great API experience? In this volume, we've collected our top-performing articles on developer experience. We'll look into tips to streamline the discovery and onboarding process, as well as ways to make your API more self-service. We cover best practices around documentation, sandboxes, and sample code. We'll also explore some particular design traits to keep consistent to retain happy users. Developer experience, sometimes abbreviated as DevX or DX, is similar to user experience (UX) but focuses on the experience developers have while using a software tool.

Learning a language is easy. However, learning to write a language, and writing a language in an optimized way are two different things. Learning a language is easy. Whenever I start with a new language, I focus on a few things like operations and loops common to every language, and it is a breeze to get started with writing code in any language. However, learning to write code in a language and writing a language in an optimized way are two different things. Every Language has some ingredients which make it unique. Yet, a new programmer to any language will always do some forced overfitting. In this book, I will explain some simple constructs provided by Python, some essential tips, and some use cases I come up with regularly in my Data Science work. Most of the book is of a practical nature and you will find it beaming with examples.

This book is a collection of real-world cases, illustrating how to handle challenging and volatile financial time series data for a better understanding of their past behavior and robust forecasting of their future movement. It demonstrates how the concepts and techniques of statistical, econometric, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning are applied to build robust predictive models, and the ways in which these models can be used for constructing profitable portfolios of investments. All the concepts and methods used here have been implemented using R and Python languages on TensorFlow and Keras frameworks. The book will be particularly useful for advanced postgraduate and doctoral students of finance, economics, econometrics, statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, and information technology.

Название: Design of Heuristic Algorithms for Hard Optimization: With Python Codes for the Travelling Salesman Problem

Формат: pdf (true)
Размер: 14.7 MB

This book demonstrates all the steps required to design heuristic algorithms for difficult optimization. The classic problem of the travelling salesman is used as a common thread to illustrate all the techniques discussed. This problem is ideal for introducing readers to the subject because it is very intuitive and its solutions can be graphically represented. The book features a wealth of illustrations that allow the concepts to be understood at a glance. One of the reasons for the popularity of metaheuristics is that they allow addressing difficult problems with simple codes. This book contains several pieces of code illustrating how to implement the basic methods discussed. The reader with little interest in programming or not familiar with the programming language used (from C to Python) can skip them.

This book discusses mixture and hidden Markov models for modeling behavioral data. Mixture and hidden Markov models are statistical models which are useful when an observed system occupies a number of distinct “regimes” or unobserved (hidden) states. These models are widely used in a variety of fields, including artificial intelligence, biology, finance, and psychology.

Computational imaging involves the joint design of imaging hardware and computer algorithms to create novel imaging systems with unprecedented capabilities. In contrast to traditional imaging, computational imaging is distinguished by a heavy use of mathematical algorithms. This text offers a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to this rapidly growing field, a convergence of vision, graphics, signal processing, and optics. It can be used as an instructional resource for computer imaging courses and as a reference for professionals. It covers the fundamentals of the field, current research and applications, and light transport techniques. There are six major classes of Machine Learning: (1) clustering, (2) classification, (3) regression, (4) Deep Learning, (5) dimensionality reduction, and (6) reinforcement learning. Our discussions are confined to classes 1 through 4.
