Python dla programistów. Big Data i AI. Studia przypadków

Paul J. Deitel, Harvey Deitel

Programiści lubią Pythona. Ujmuje ich wyrazistość, zwięzłość i interaktywność kodu, a także bogata kolekcja narzędzi i bibliotek. Zalety te są uzupełniane przez rozwój innych technologii, zwiększającą się dostępność coraz szybszego sprzętu oraz rosnącą przepustowość internetu. Z kolei to wszystko wiąże się z powstawaniem niewyobrażalnych ilości danych, które trzeba magazynować i efektywnie przetwarzać. Większość innowacji w świecie informatyki koncentruje się wokół danych. A z tymi zadaniami można sobie poradzić dzięki imponującym możliwościom Pythona i jego bibliotek. Ta książka ułatwi naukę Pythona metodą analizy i eksperymentów. Zawiera ponad 500 przykładów faktycznie wykorzystywanego kodu - od krótkich bloków po kompletne studia przypadków. Pokazano, w jaki sposób można kodować w interpreterze IPython i notatnikach Jupytera. Znalazł się tu obszerny opis Pythona oraz jego instrukcji sterujących i funkcji, omówiono pracę na plikach, kwestie serializacji w notacji JSON i obsługę wyjątków. Zaprezentowano różne paradygmaty programowania: proceduralnego, w stylu funkcyjnym i zorientowanego obiektowo. Sporo miejsca poświęcono bibliotekom: standardowej bibliotece Pythona i bibliotekom data science do realizacji złożonych zadań przy minimalnym udziale kodowania. Nie zabrakło wprowadzenia do takich zagadnień data science jak sztuczna inteligencja, symulacje, animacje czy przygotowanie danych do analizy. W książce między innymi: przetwarzanie języka naturalnego IBM stosowanie bibliotek scikit-learn i Keras big data, Hadoop(R), Spark™, NoSQL i usługi chmurowe programowanie dla internetu rzeczy (IoT) biblioteki: standardowa, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, NLTK, YexyBlob, Tweepy, Matplotlib i inne
