Yves Hilpisch
Finanse i Python. Łagodne wprowadzenie do teorii finansów Rozwój technologii i dostęp do danych finansowych stały się ogromnym ułatwieniem w korzystaniu z globalnych rynków finansowych. Jeśli zechcesz, możesz szybko zacząć przygodę na przykład z handlem algorytmicznym. Wystarczy, że masz niewielkie pojęcie o matematyce, programowaniu i ekonomii. Niestety, nieliczne programy nauczania o finansach integrują ze sobą te trzy dziedziny. Tymczasem koncepcje matematyczne wspaniale ułatwiają zrozumienie pojęć z zakresu inżynierii finansowej, a wczesne włączanie ćwiczeń programistycznych pozwala na znaczne zwiększenie efektywności takiej edukacji. Dzięki tej praktycznej, przystępnie napisanej książce szybko zrozumiesz podstawy teorii finansów, modelowania danych finansowych i zastosowania Pythona w finansach obliczeniowych. Znajdziesz tu systematyczne wprowadzenie do inżynierii finansowej, handlu algorytmicznego czy zarządzania aktywami. Zdobędziesz umiejętności tworzenia w Pythonie programów, które ułatwią Ci rozwiązywanie takich problemów jak ustalanie składu portfeli inwestycyjnych zgodnie z nowoczesną teorią portfela, a także wycena opcji i innych instrumentów pochodnych. Jeśli zajmujesz stanowisko kierownicze w branży finansowej, z pewnością przyda Ci się wiedza o zastosowaniu Pythona w finansach. Jeśli już biegle kodujesz w Pythonie, łatwiej skorzystasz ze swoich umiejętności w tworzeniu przydatnych aplikacji z zakresu inżynierii finansowej. W książce między innymi: matematyczne podstawy teorii finansów i programowania w Pythonie modele ekonomiczne i modelowanie danych finansowych zastosowanie Pythona w obliczeniach związanych z finansami wycena, podejmowanie decyzji, równowaga i alokacja aktywów zastosowanie bibliotek i narzędzi Pythona w modelowaniu finansowym Teoria finansów? Z Pythonem to dziecinnie proste!
Finite Element Analysis. An Introductory Guide to FEM Techniques and Applications

Do you feel tired just thinking or even hearing about backend technologies, authentication or the tedious task of deployment? Firebase is here to change the way you develop and make your app a first-class citizen of the cloud.This books takes a solution based approach by providing you recipes that would help you understand the features of Firebase and implement them in your existing web or mobile applications.We start-off by creating our first Firebase application and integrating its services into different platforms and environments for mobile as well as web applications. Then we deep dive into Real-time Database and Firebase Storage that allows your users to access data across various devices with realtive ease. With each chapter you will gradually create the building blocks of your application from securing your data with Firebase Rules to authenticating your users with O-Auth.Moving along we would explore modern application development techniques such as creating serverless applications with Firebase Cloud Functions or turning your traditional applications into progressive apps with Service workers.Finally you will learn how to create cross-platform mobile apps, integrate Firebase in native platforms, and learn how to monetize your mobile applications using Admob for Android and iOS.

Flask is a small but powerful web development framework for Python. Though Flask is termed a micro-framework, it is no way lacking in functionality; there are many extensions available to Flask which helps it to function at the same level as other large frameworks such as Django and Ruby on Rails.This book will demonstrate how to develop a series of web application projects with the Python web micro-framework, and leverage extensions and external Python libraries and APIs to extend the development of a variety of larger and more complex web applications.The book will start by explaining Python’s Virtualenv library and how to create and switch between multiple virtual environments. You’ll first build an SQL database-backed application, which will use Flask-WTF, Flask-SQLAlchemy, Jinja templates, and other methods. Next you’ll move on to a timeline application, built using concepts including pytest-Flask, the Blinker package, data modelling for user timelines, exception handling, and creating and organizing CLI tools.Moving on, you’ll discover how to implement a photo timeline application where you’ll explore topics such as writing and running celery tasks, API error handling and testing, and Werkzeug middlewares.Finally, the book walks you through creating an application which fetches data from GitHub and stores it locally. You will also learn how to install and configure Flask-Click extension.

This book will take you on a journey from learning about web development using Flask to building fully functional web applications. In the first major project, we develop a dynamic Headlines application that displays the latest news headlines along with up-to-date currency and weather information. In project two, we build a Crime Map application that is backed by a MySQL database, allowing users to submit information on and the location of crimes in order to plot danger zones and other crime trends within an area. In the final project, we combine Flask with more modern technologies, such as Twitter's Bootstrap and the NoSQL database MongoDB, to create a Waiter Caller application that allows restaurant patrons to easily call a waiter to their table. This pragmatic tutorial will keep you engaged as you learn the crux of Flask by working on challenging real-world applications.
