Concepts and Semantics of Programming Languages 2
This book – composed of two volumes – explores the syntactical constructs of the most common programming languages, and sheds a mathematical light on their semantics, providing also an accurate presentation of the material aspects that interfere with coding.Concepts and Semantics of Programming Languages 2 presents an original semantic model, collectively taking into account all of the constructs and operations of modules and classes: visibility, import, export, delayed definitions, parameterization by types and values, extensions, etc. The model serves for the study of Ada and OCaml modules, as well as C header files. It can be deployed to model object and class features, and is thus used to describe Java, C++, OCaml and Python classes.This book is intended not only for computer science students and teachers but also seasoned programmers, who will find a guide to reading reference manuals and the foundations of program verification.THERESE HARDIN is Professor Emeritus at the Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP6), Sorbonne University, France.MATHIEU JAUME is a lecturer at the Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP6), Sorbonne University, France.FRANÇOIS PESSAUX is Associate Professor in the Computer Science and Systems Engineering Unit (U2IS) of ENSTA Paris, France.VERONIQUE VIGUIE DONZEAU-GOUGE is Professor Emeritus at the Centre d'études et de recherche en informatique (CEDRIC) of the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (Cnam Paris), France.Foreword ixPreface xiCHAPTER 1.

Essential Java for AP CompSci
Gain the essential skills for computer science using one of today's most popular programming languages, Java. This book will prepare you for AP CompSci Complete, but you don’t need to be sitting that class to benefit. Computer science has become a basic life skill that everyone is going to need to learn. Whether you are going into a career or side hustle in business, technology, creativity, architecture, or almost any other field, you will find coding and computer science play a role.So when we learn programming we are going to focus on three things: what is the process; what is the syntax; and what is the flow. The process is represented as a flowchart. We will learn how to make these to help you plan out what you are going to do before you write a line of code. At first, the flowcharts will be pretty simple, but then they will get more complex. The syntax is the code: this is what you write that translates the process you create in a flowchart to the instructions that the computer can understand. Finally, there is the flow. This is where you trace through the code and see how the data and information it stores along the way changes. You can see how the operation of the program cascades from line to line. You will be building charts that will capture the programming flow so you can better understand how the computer processes code to make your next program easier to conceive and code.Along the way to aid in the learning of the essential Java skills, there will be three kinds of project types throughout this book: business software projects for applications where you work for a company and need to complete an internal project for a team such as the sales, marketing, or data science teams; social good projects where you are working for non-profits or for agencies that are trying to research and provide solutions to economic, environmental, medical, or humanitarian projects; and game development projects for games based on player input, random chance, or other mechanics for the use of entertainment.What is unique about computer science is how it has become a skill, and not just a career. While there are jobs and titles of “computer scientist”, the skill of computer science, and specifically programming, are almost everywhere. After reading and using this book, you'll have the essential skills to think like a computer scientist, even if you are not. As a result you’ll be of greater value to your clients, your company, and yourself.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNDiscover the primary building blocks of programming using the Java programming language * See terminology and best practices of software development* Work with object-oriented programming concepts* Use common-language definitions and examples to help drive understanding and comprehension of computer science fundamentalsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThose who want to learn programming and want to think like a computer scientist. Ideal for anyone taking AP CompSci Complete.Doug Winnie is director of learning experience at H&R Block, responsible for learning and development platforms supporting associates across the organization.

Advanced Forecasting with Python
Cover all the machine learning techniques relevant for forecasting problems, ranging from univariate and multivariate time series to supervised learning, to state-of-the-art deep forecasting models such as LSTMs, recurrent neural networks, Facebook’s open-source Prophet model, and Amazon’s DeepAR model.Rather than focus on a specific set of models, this book presents an exhaustive overview of all the techniques relevant to practitioners of forecasting. It begins by explaining the different categories of models that are relevant for forecasting in a high-level language. Next, it covers univariate and multivariate time series models followed by advanced machine learning and deep learning models. It concludes with reflections on model selection such as benchmark scores vs. understandability of models vs. compute time, and automated retraining and updating of models.Each of the models presented in this book is covered in depth, with an intuitive simple explanation of the model, a mathematical transcription of the idea, and Python code that applies the model to an example data set.Reading this book will add a competitive edge to your current forecasting skillset. The book is also adapted to those who have recently started working on forecasting tasks and are looking for an exhaustive book that allows them to start with traditional models and gradually move into more and more advanced models.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Carry out forecasting with Python* Mathematically and intuitively understand traditional forecasting models and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques* Gain the basics of forecasting and machine learning, including evaluation of models, cross-validation, and back testing* Select the right model for the right use caseWho This Book Is ForThe advanced nature of the later chapters makes the book relevant for applied experts working in the domain of forecasting, as the models covered have been published only recently. Experts working in the domain will want to update their skills as traditional models are regularly being outperformed by newer models.Joos is a data scientist, with over five years of industry experience in developing machine learning tools, of which a large part is forecasting models. He currently works at Disneyland Paris where he develops machine learning for a variety of tools. His experience in writing and teaching have motivated him to make this book on advanced forecasting with Python.PART I: Machine Learning for ForecastingChapter 1: Models for ForecastingChapter Goal: Explains the different categories of models that are relevant for forecasting in high level languageNo pages: 10Sub -Topics1.

Künstliche Intelligenz - Wie sie funktioniert und wann sie scheitert
Wie KI funktioniert und wann sie scheitert. Eine unterhaltsame Reise in die seltsame Welt der Algorithmen, neuronalen Netze und versteckten Giraffen.Wir verlassen uns jeden Tag auf künstliche Intelligenz, wenn es um Empfehlungen, Übersetzungen und Katzenohren für unsere Selfie-Videos geht. Wir vertrauen KI auch in Fragen von Leben und Tod, auf der Straße und in unseren Krankenhäusern. Aber wie intelligent ist KI wirklich, auf welche Weise löst sie Probleme, wie versteht sie Menschen?Janelle Shane liefert Antworten auf Fragen zu KI, die Sie sich schon immer gestellt haben, und auf einige, auf die Sie definitiv noch nicht gekommen sind: Wie kann ein Computer das perfekte Sandwich entwerfen? Und kann man einer KI beibringen, zu flirten oder gute Witze zu erzählen?In dieser klugen, oft sehr lustigen Einführung in die interessanteste Wissenschaft unserer Zeit zeigt Janelle Shane, wie KI-Algorithmen lernen, wo sie versagen und wie sie sich anpassen. Sie erfahren, wie KIs trainiert werden, was Deep Learning ist, wo die Gefahren bei selbstfahrenden Autos liegen, wie sich Vorurteile aus KI-Trainingsdaten auf Bewerbungsverfahren auswirken – und warum Bilderkennungs-KIs auf Giraffen fixiert sind.Das perfekte Buch für alle, die sich eine informierte Meinung bilden möchten und neugierig darauf sind, wie die KI-Roboter in unserem Leben funktionieren.

Introduction to Python for Kids
Want to create cool games and apps to impress your friends (or yourself), but not sure where to start? Or, have you tried your hand at programming, but got utterly bored after combing through hundreds of pages of dry text? Then you’ve come to the right place! This book is the perfect blend of education and fun for kids 8 years and above looking to learn the magic of Python, one of the easiest and most powerful programming languages around, all while solving fun puzzles and building your own projects on the way.Yes, there’ll be chapters on the fundamentals of Python, such as variables, numbers, strings, automation with conditions, loops and functions, objects, and files. But, early on in the book you’ll get started with Turtle, a Python package that was custom-made for kids like you. It lets you literally draw and animate on your computer! Every concept will be interspersed with a fun mini project with Turtle, so you’ll never get bored. Once you get the fundamentals down, you’ll dive right into Tkinter and Pygame, more fun Python packages (goodbye theory!) and you’ll learn all about creating apps and games like the ones you see and use every day (bouncing ball, temperature converter, calculator, rock-paper-scissors, and so much more!).There are also four capstone projects at the end of the book that convert everything you’ve learned so far into full-blown apps and games that you can show off to your friends, parents, and even teachers! You’ll be creating a snake game with Turtle, a tic tac toe game with Tkinter, a full-fledged paint app, again with Tkinter, and finally, a classic space shooters game with Pygame (the cherry on top). Every project chapter will be accompanied with the logic behind the game/app and an explanation on how you’ve arrived at the logic. You’ll develop strong problem solving skills that’ll help you create future projects on your own.There are also two chapters dedicated to just creating fun mini projects and puzzles, one of them placed in the middle of the book to give you a welcome break from all the learning. The book ends with an overview on web development with Python and ideas for more fun projects and puzzles you can solve on your own.

Introduction to Video Game Engine Development
Start your video game development journey by learning how to build a 2D game engine from scratch. Using Java (with NetBeans as your IDE and using Java’s graphics framework) or by following along in C# (with Visual Studio as your IDE and using the MonoGame framework), you’ll cover the design and implementation of a 2D game engine in detail. Each class will be reviewed with demonstration code. You’ll gain experience using the engine by building a game from the ground up.Introduction to Video Game Engine Development reviews the design and implementation of a 2D game engine in three parts. Part 1 covers the low-level API class by class. You’ll see how to abstract lower-level functionality and design a set of classes that interact seamlessly with each other. You’ll learn how to draw objects, play sounds, render text, and more. In Part 2, you’ll review the mid-level API that is responsible for drawing the game, loading resources, and managing user input. Lastly, in Part 3, you’ll build a game from the ground up following a step-by-step process using the 2D game engine you just reviewed.On completing this book, you’ll have a solid foundation in video game engine design and implementation. You’ll also get exposure to building games from scratch, creating the solid foundation you’ll need to work with more advanced game engines, and industry tools, that require learning complex software, APIs, and IDEs.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Gain experience with lower-level game engine APIs and abstracting framework functionality* Write application-level APIs: launching the game, loading resources, settings, processing input, and more * Discover cross-platform APIs in the game engine projects written in both Java and C#/MonoGame * Develop games with an SDK-based game engine and simplified tool chain focused on direct control of the game through code* Master creating games by using the game engine to build a game from the ground up with only code and an IDEWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThose of you out there with some programming experience, moderate to advanced, who want to learn how to write video games using modern game engine designs.Victor Brusca is an experienced software developer specializing in building cross-platform applications and APIs.
