Discover 50 essential interview questions that cover various key areas in iOS development. Clear and concise answers to each question, providing you with the knowledge and understanding you need to impress your interviewers. Code snippets and examples to illustrate key concepts and demonstrate practical application of iOS development principles. In Swift, both structs and classes are used to define properties and methods to add functionality. However, there are key differences in how they are used, which stem from Swift's value type (struct) versus reference type (class) distinction. Understanding these differences is crucial for making informed decisions about when to use each in your iOS applications. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes code into objects, which are instances of classes. OOP focuses on creating classes that encapsulate data and behavior, and objects interact with each other through methods and properties. The main concepts of OOP are encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. On the other hand, Protocol-Oriented Programming (POP) is a programming paradigm that puts protocols at the center of the design. In Swift, protocols define a blueprint of methods, properties, and requirements that conforming types must implement. POP focuses on defining behavior through protocols and then implementing that behavior in concrete types.

Common sense is the endless frontier in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but what exactly is common sense, can we replicate it in algorithmic form, and if we can – should we? Bauer, Schiele and their contributors from a range of disciplines analyse the nature of common sense, and the consequent challenges of incorporating into Artificial Intelligence models. They look at different ways we might understand common sense and which of these ways are simulated within computer algorithms. These include sensory integration, self-evident truths, rhetorical common places, and mutuality and intentionality of actors within a moral community. How far are these possible features within and of machines? Approaching from a range of perspectives including Sociology, Political Science, Media and Culture, Psychology and Computer Science, the contributors lay out key questions, practical challenges and "common sense" concerns underlying the incorporation of common sense within Machine Learning algorithms for simulating intelligence, socialising robots, self-driving vehicles, personnel selection, reading, automatic text analysis, and text production. A valuable resource for students and scholars of Science–Technology–Society Studies, Sociologists, Psychologists, Media and Culture Studies, human–computer interaction with an interest in the post-human, and programmers tackling the contextual questions of Machine Learning.

This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding and utilizing PyTorch 2.0 for Deep Learning applications. It starts with an introduction to PyTorch, its various advantages over other Deep Learning frameworks, and its blend with CUDA for GPU acceleration. We delve into the heart of PyTorch – tensors, learning their different types, properties, and operations. Through step-by-step examples, the reader learns to perform basic arithmetic operations on tensors, manipulate them, and understand errors related to tensor shapes. A substantial portion of the book is dedicated to illustrating how to build simple PyTorch models. This includes uploading and preparing datasets, defining the architecture, training, and predicting. It provides hands-on exercises with a real-world dataset. The book then dives into exploring PyTorch's nn module and gives a detailed comparison of different types of networks like Feedforward, RNN, GRU, CNN, and their combination. Further, the book delves into understanding the training process and PyTorch's optim module. It explores the overview of optimization algorithms like Gradient Descent, SGD, Mini-batch Gradient Descent, Momentum, Adagrad, and Adam. A separate chapter focuses on advanced concepts in PyTorch 2.0, like model serialization, optimization, distributed training, and PyTorch Quantization API. In the final chapters, the book discusses the differences between TensorFlow 2.0 and PyTorch 2.0 and the step-by-step process of migrating a TensorFlow model to PyTorch 2.0 using ONNX.

Master the art of designing and creating serverless architectures and applications. Serverless computing is relatively new compared to server-based designs. Amazon Web Services launched its serverless computing offering by introducing AWS Lambda. Lambda has introduced a revolution in cloud computing, where servers could be excluded from architectures, and events could be used to trigger other resources. The AWS serverless services have allowed developers, startups, and large enterprises to focus more on developing and creating features and spend less time managing and securing servers. It covers key concepts like serverless architecture and AWS services. You will learn to create event-driven apps, launch websites, and build APIs with hands-on exercises. The book will explore storage options and data processing, including serverless Machine Learning. Discover best practices for architecture, security, and cost optimization. The book will cover advanced topics like AWS SAM and Lambda layers for complex workflows. Finally, get guidance on creating new serverless apps and migrating existing ones. The knowledge gained from this book will help you create a serverless website, application programming interface, and backend. In addition, the information covered in the book will help you process and analyze data using a serverless design.

Take a high-level tour of SAP oDATA integrations with frontend technologies like Angular using the SAP Mobile Services Platform. This book will give you a different perspective on executing SAP transactions on iOS using Angular instead of SAP-provided Fiori-based applications. You’ll start by learning about SAP supply chain processes such as Goods Receipt, Transfer Posting, Goods Issue, and Inventory Search. You’ll then move on to understanding the thought process involved in integrating SAP's backend (SAP ECC) with Angular iOS app using SAP Mobile Services running on SAP BTP. All this will serve as a guide tailored to SAP functional and technical consultants actively engaged in client-facing roles. You’ll follow a roadmap for modernizing and streamlining supply chain operations by leveraging Angular iOS apps. Ionic and Angular are two popular web development frameworks often used in combination to create modern and feature-rich web and mobile applications. This chapter explores each of these frameworks in more detail. Angular is a comprehensive and widely adopted frontend jаvascript framework developed and maintained by Google. It provides a structured and organized way to build dynamic, single-page web applications (SPAs) and web-based enterprise applications. Ionic is an open-source framework for building cross-platform, mobile applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and jаvascript/TypeScript. It is often described as a “hybrid” framework because it allows developers to build native-like mobile apps that can run on multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web.

Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms: Optimizers, Analysis, and Applications presents the most recent optimization algorithms and their applications across a wide range of scientific and engineering research fields. Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms have become indispensable tools, with applications in data analysis, text mining, classification problems, computer vision, image analysis, pattern recognition, medicine, and many others. Most complex systems problems involve a continuous flow of data that makes it impossible to manage and analyze manually. The outcome depends on the processing of high-dimensional data, most of it irregular and unordered, present in various forms such as text, images, videos, audio, and graphics. The authors of Meta-Heuristic Optimization Algorithms provide readers with a comprehensive overview of eighteen optimization algorithms to address this complex data, including Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm, Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm, Whale Optimization Algorithm, and Marine Predators Algorithm, along with new and emerging methods such as Aquila Optimizer, Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, Manta-Ray Foraging Optimization Algorithm, and Gradient Based Optimizer, among others. Each chapter includes an introduction to the modeling concepts used to create the algorithm, followed by the mathematical and procedural structure of the algorithm, associated pseudocode, and real-world case studies to demonstrate how each algorithm can be applied to a variety of scientific and engineering solutions.
