Data Science with SQL Server Quick Start Guide. Integrate SQL Server with data science
Dejan Sarka
SQL Server only started to fully support data science with its two most recent editions. If you are a professional from both worlds, SQL Server and data science, and interested in using SQL Server and Machine Learning (ML) Services for your projects, then this is the ideal book for you.This book is the ideal introduction to data science with Microsoft SQL Server and In-Database ML Services. It covers all stages of a data science project, from businessand data understanding,through data overview, data preparation, modeling and using algorithms, model evaluation, and deployment.You will learn to use the engines and languages that come with SQL Server, including ML Services with R and Python languages and Transact-SQL. You will also learn how to choose which algorithm to use for which task, and learn the working of each algorithm.
Data science, wyzwania i rozwiązania. Jak zostać ekspertem analizy danych
Daniel Vaughan
Uczenie się i praktykowanie danologii nie należy do najłatwiejszych zadań. Edukacja w tej dziedzinie zazwyczaj dotyczy programowania i uczenia maszynowego, a przecież świetny analityk danych musi się znać na wielu innych zagadnieniach. Może się ich nauczyć w pracy, ale w tym celu konieczne jest znalezienie mentora. A to niestety nie zawsze jest możliwe. Ten podręcznik zaczyna się tam, gdzie większość książek się kończy - od rzeczywistych procesów decyzyjnych opartych na wnioskach wynikających z danych. Brett Holleman, niezależny danolog Dzięki tej książce przyswoisz różne techniki, które pomogą Ci stać się bardziej produktywnym analitykiem danych. Najpierw zapoznasz się z tematami związanymi z rozumieniem danych i umiejętnościami miękkimi, które okazują się konieczne w pracy dobrego danologa. Dopiero potem skupisz się na kluczowych aspektach uczenia maszynowego. W ten sposób stopniowo przejdziesz ścieżkę od przeciętnego kandydata do wyjątkowego specjalisty data science. Umiejętności opisane w tym przewodniku przez wiele lat były rozpoznawane, katalogowane, analizowane i stosowane do generowania wartości i szkolenia danologów w różnych firmach i branżach. Z książki dowiesz się: jak sprawić, by procesy oparte na analizie danych generowały wartość jak zaprojektować przydatne wskaźniki jak zdobywać poparcie interesariuszy jak się upewnić, że algorytm uczenia maszynowego nadaje się do rozwiązania danego zadania jak zapanować nad wyciekami danych Oto brakujący podręcznik pozwalający odnieść sukces komercyjny dzięki data science!

Data Structures and Algorithms with the C++ STL. A guide for modern C++ practitioners
John Farrier
While the Standard Template Library (STL) offers a rich set of tools for data structures and algorithms, navigating its intricacies can be daunting for intermediate C++ developers without expert guidance. This book offers a thorough exploration of the STL’s components, covering fundamental data structures, advanced algorithms, and concurrency features.Starting with an in-depth analysis of the std::vector, this book highlights its pivotal role in the STL, progressing toward building your proficiency in utilizing vectors, managing memory, and leveraging iterators. The book then advances to STL’s data structures, including sequence containers, associative containers, and unordered containers, simplifying the concepts of container adaptors and views to enhance your knowledge of modern STL programming. Shifting the focus to STL algorithms, you’ll get to grips with sorting, searching, and transformations and develop the skills to implement and modify algorithms with best practices. Advanced sections cover extending the STL with custom types and algorithms, as well as concurrency features, exception safety, and parallel algorithms.By the end of this book, you’ll have transformed into a proficient STL practitioner ready to tackle real-world challenges and build efficient and scalable C++ applications.
