IoT is basically the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.. The number of connected devices is growing rapidly and will continue to do so over years to come. By 2020, there will be more than 20 billion connected devices and the ability to program such devices will be in high demand. Particle provides prototyping boards for IoT that are easy to program and deploy. Most importantly, the boards provided by Particle can be connected to the Internet very easily as they include Wi-Fi or a GSM module.Starting with the basics of programming Particle Photon and Electron, this book will take you through setting up your local servers and running custom firmware, to using the Photon and Electron to program autonomous cars. This book also covers in brief a basic architecture and design of IoT applications. It gives you an overview of the IoT stack. You will also get information on how to debug and troubleshoot Particle Photon and Electron and set up your own debugging framework for any IoT board. Finally, you’ll tinker with the firmware of the Photon and Electron by modifying the existing firmware and deploying them to your boards.By the end of this book, you should have a fairly good understanding of the IoT ecosystem and you should be able to build standalone projects using your own local server or the Particle Cloud Server.

As an embedded systems developer or an IoT developer, you can often face challenges in maintaining focus on prototyping a product concept while using a specific high-level programming language for implementation. To overcome these challenges, the M5Stack Core platform uses an ESP32 microcontroller and block code that allows you to focus on product creation and application instead of the high-level programming language. M5Stack Electronics Blueprints presents various design and prototyping approaches as well as UI layout and electronics interfacing techniques that will help you to become skilled in developing useful products effectively.This book takes you through a hands-on journey for a better understanding of the ESP32 microcontroller and the M5Stack Core's architecture. You’ll delve into M5Stack Core topics such as electronic units, light, sound, motion devices, interfacing circuits, SNAP circuit kits, Arduino applications, and building Bluetooth and Wi-Fi IoT devices. Further, you’ll explore various M5Stack core applications using a project-based learning method, including the fascinating 32-bit microcontroller device technology.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and build interactive, portable electronic controllers, IoT, and wearable devices using the M5Stack Core.

Natural Language Processing has evolved beyond rule-based systems and classical machine learning (ML). This second edition guides you through that transformation from mathematical and ML foundations to large language models, retrieval pipelines, agentic automation, and AI-native system design. It strengthens core NLP concepts while expanding into modern architectures such as transformers, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA and QLoRA), and alignment methods like RLHF and DPO.You’ll begin with essential linear algebra, probability, and ML principles before moving into text preprocessing, feature engineering, classification pipelines, and deep learning architectures. From there, the focus shifts to system design: building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, implementing model routing strategies that balance cost and performance, and orchestrating structured multi-agent workflows. You'll also introduce structured interoperability patterns, including the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Governance and safety will be treated as architectural concerns, demonstrating how policy and compliance can be integrated directly into AI systems. By the end, you will have the tools to implement NLP techniques and be equipped to design, govern, and deploy intelligent systems built on them.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Jordan Krause
Windows Server 2016 is the server operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, developed concurrently with Windows 10. With Windows Server 2016, Microsoft has gotten us thinking outside of the box for what it means to be a system administration, and comes with some interesting new capabilities. These are exciting times to be or to become a server administrator!This book covers all aspects of administration level tasks and activities required to gain expertise in Microsoft Windows Server 2016. You will begin by getting familiar and comfortable navigating around in the interface. Next, you will learn to install and manage Windows Server 2016 and discover some tips for adapting to the new server management ideology that is all about centralized monitoring and configuration.You will deep dive into core Microsoft infrastructure technologies that the majority of companies are going to run on Server 2016.

Montaż komputera PC. Ilustrowany przewodnik. Wydanie II
Adam Chabiński, Bartosz Danowski
Poznaj najważniejsze elementy komputera Naucz się samodzielnie wybierać sprzęt Dowiedz się, jak złożyć komputer i zainstalować system Nie istnieje jeden doskonały model komputera osobistego, który byłby w stanie zaspokoić niejednokrotnie bardzo odmienne potrzeby różnych użytkowników. Choć każdy chciałby mieć jak najlepszy sprzęt, innych osiągów będą spodziewali się graficy, inżynierowie czy naukowcy, a innych gracze, programiści, redaktorzy czy księgowe. Nie wszystkim potrzebne są też niezwykle wydajne i kosztujące krocie maszyny, na które starają się namówić nabywców sprzedawcy sprzętu. Nie każdy też uważa popularne ostatnio laptopy za najlepsze i najtańsze rozwiązanie. Czy jesteś zatem skazany na dyktat "mądrzejszych" od siebie sprzedawców, poszukiwanie rady u bardziej doświadczonych osób lub konieczność wyboru gotowego modelu spośród bardzo ogólnej oferty dużych firm komputerowych? Nie, ponieważ możesz skorzystać z wiedzy zawartej w książce "Montaż komputera PC. Ilustrowany przewodnik. Wydanie II" . Dzięki niej poznasz budowę współczesnych pecetów i wykorzystywane w nich technologie, a ponadto nauczysz się określać swoje potrzeby i w zależności od nich dobierać komponenty zestawu. Dowiesz się, na co należy zwracać szczególną uwagę podczas planowania zakupu komputera dostosowanego do indywidualnych potrzeb. Składanie własnego komputera od podstaw przestanie być czymś magicznym, a ustawienia BIOS-u nie będą już sprawiać problemów. Pozbędziesz się też obaw przed samodzielną rozbudową i drobnymi naprawami swojego "składaka" oraz nauczysz się instalować system operacyjny i odpowiednie sterowniki urządzeń. Podstawy architektury komputerów PC Dobór i zakup odpowiednich komponentów Niezbędne narzędzia i warsztat pracy Montaż komponentów i ich łączenie Uruchamianie sprzętu i rozwiązywanie problemów Konfiguracja ustawień BIOS-u Instalacja systemu operacyjnego i sterowników Spraw, aby samodzielne składanie komputera było dla Ciebie czystą przyjemnością!
