Written by a seasoned software engineer with several years of industry experience, this book will teach you the basics of machine learning (ML) and show you how to use C++ libraries, along with helping you create supervised and unsupervised ML models.You’ll gain hands-on experience in tuning and optimizing a model for various use cases, enabling you to efficiently select models and measure performance. The chapters cover techniques such as product recommendations, ensemble learning, anomaly detection, sentiment analysis, and object recognition using modern C++ libraries. You’ll also learn how to overcome production and deployment challenges on mobile platforms, and see how the ONNX model format can help you accomplish these tasks.This edition is updated with key topics such as sentiment analysis implementation using transfer learning and transformer-based models, with tracking and visualizing ML experiments with MLflow. An additional section shows how to use Optuna for hyperparameter selection. The section on model deployment into mobile platform includes a detailed explanation of real-time object detection for Android with C++.By the end of this C++ book, you’ll have real-world machine learning and C++ knowledge, as well as the skills to use C++ to build powerful ML systems.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Microservice architecture is sweeping the world as the de facto pattern for building web-based applications. Rust is a language particularly well-suited for building microservices. It is a new system programming language that offers a practical and safe alternative to C.This book describes web development using the Rust programming language and will get you up and running with modern web frameworks and crates with examples of RESTful microservices creation. You will deep dive into Reactive programming, and asynchronous programming, and split your web application into a set of concurrent actors. The book provides several HTTP-handling examples with manageable memory allocations. You will walk through stateless high-performance microservices, which are ideally suitable for computation or caching tasks, and look at stateful microservices, which are filled with persistent data and database interactions. As we move along, you will learn how to use Rust macros to describe business or protocol entities of our application and compile them into native structs, which will be performed at full speed with the help of the server's CPU.Finally, you will be taken through examples of how to test and debug microservices and pack them into a tiny monolithic binary or put them into a container and deploy them to modern cloud platforms such as AWS.

C++ is one of the most popular legacy programming languages for robotics, and a combination of C++ and robotics hardware is used in many leading industries. This book will bridge the gap between Raspberry Pi and C/C++ programming and enable you to develop applications for Raspberry Pi. You'll even be able to implement C programs in Raspberry Pi with the WiringPi library.The book will guide you through developing a fully functional car robot and writing programs to move it in different directions. You’ll then create an obstacle-avoiding robot using an ultrasonic sensor. In addition to this, you’ll find out how to control the robot wirelessly using your PC or Mac. This book will also help you work with object detection and tracking using OpenCV, and guide you through exploring face detection techniques. Finally, you will create an Android app and control the robot wirelessly with an Android smartphone.By the end of this book, you will have gained experience in developing a robot using Raspberry Pi and C/C++ programming.

C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias toward system programming as it provides ready access to hardware-level resources, efficient compilation, and a versatile approach to higher-level abstractions.This book will help you understand the benefits of system programming with C++17. You will gain a firm understanding of various C, C++, and POSIX standards, as well as their respective system types for both C++ and POSIX. After a brief refresher on C++, Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII), and the new C++ Guideline Support Library (GSL), you will learn to program Linux and Unix systems along with process management. As you progress through the chapters, you will become acquainted with C++'s support for IO. You will then study various memory management methods, including a chapter on allocators and how they benefit system programming. You will also explore how to program file input and output and learn about POSIX sockets. This book will help you get to grips with safely setting up a UDP and TCP server/client.Finally, you will be guided through Unix time interfaces, multithreading, and error handling with C++ exceptions. By the end of this book, you will be comfortable with using C++ to program high-quality systems.

Internet rzeczy to przykład koncepcji, która - w odróżnieniu od wielu innych relatywnie młodych dziedzin IT - została więcej niż pozytywnie zweryfikowana przez czas i rynek. Już dziś IoT znajduje bardzo szerokie zastosowanie w wielu obszarach życia: od projektów stricte hobbystycznych, przez automatykę domową, handel i usługi, po systemy inteligentnych miast, przemysł i rolnictwo. Internet rzeczy nadal ewoluuje - i staje się coraz powszechniejszy, a to może być zachętą do tego, by poznać go bliżej. Internet rzeczy. Podstawy programowania aplikacji i serwerów sieciowych w językach C/C++, MicroPython i Lua na urządzeniach IoT ESP8266, ESP32 i Arduino może się okazać świetną propozycją na początek przygody z IoT. Książka kompleksowo objaśnia specyfikę wybranych urządzeń i uczy, jak je programować w sposób na tyle przystępny, że wystarczy przeciętna znajomość obsługi komputera, by zacząć tworzyć pierwsze projekty. Treść została zilustrowana przykładowymi kodami źródłowymi, co zdecydowanie ułatwia stawianie pierwszych kroków. Dzięki książce: poznasz wybrane urządzenia IoT zaznajomisz się z narzędziami programistycznymi nauczysz się podstaw języków programowania uruchomisz własny serwer dla aplikacji web stworzysz serwer WWW na urządzeniu IoT a nawet zaprojektujesz serwer Minecrafta! Internet rzeczy ma przed sobą wielką przyszłość, bądź jej częścią!

Język C dla małych urządzeń. Krótki kod o wielkich możliwościach
Marc Loy
Wydawałoby się, że język C najlepsze lata ma już za sobą. Opracowano w końcu mnóstwo łatwych w użyciu i efektywnych wysokopoziomowych języków programowania. W rzeczywistości język C wciąż okazuje się niezastąpiony do tak ważnych celów, jak programowanie sterowników, systemów operacyjnych, kart graficznych, a także niewielkich mikrokontrolerów o ograniczonych zasobach. Właśnie teraz, w czasach burzliwego rozwoju internetu rzeczy, język C udowadnia swoją przydatność. Wystarczy nauczyć się tworzyć w nim czysty kod o niewielkich rozmiarach. W tym podręczniku do praktycznej nauki programowania w języku C szczególną uwagę zwrócono na pisanie kodu umożliwiającego uzyskanie wysokiej wydajności w środowiskach o bardzo małych zasobach. Znalazło się tu gruntowne omówienie podstaw dobrego programowania w języku C. Opisano struktury kontrolne, operatory, funkcje i inne elementy składni C, a także zasady dobrego programowania i wzorce, dzięki którym można zmniejszać rozmiar skompilowanego programu. Przeanalizowano również środowisko Arduino, które jest świetną platformą docelową dla niewielkich programów napisanych w C. Zawarte tu informacje przydadzą się jednak każdemu, kto chce się zająć programowaniem dla systemów wbudowanych. W książce między innymi: podstawy języka C, w tym typy danych, przepływ sterowania i funkcje zarządzanie pamięcią i działanie programów w prostych urządzeniach tworzenie czytelnego i łatwego w utrzymaniu kodu w języku C optymalizacja kodu pod kątem wydajności testowanie istniejących bibliotek i tworzenie własnych Programowanie niskopoziomowe? Czysta radość z czystego C!
