Getting to grips with tensors, deep learning, and neural networks can be intimidating and confusing for anyone, no matter their experience level. The breadth of information out there, often written at a very high level and aimed at advanced practitioners, can make getting started even more challenging.If this sounds familiar to you, The TensorFlow Workshop is here to help. Combining clear explanations, realistic examples, and plenty of hands-on practice, it’ll quickly get you up and running.You’ll start off with the basics – learning how to load data into TensorFlow, perform tensor operations, and utilize common optimizers and activation functions. As you progress, you’ll experiment with different TensorFlow development tools, including TensorBoard, TensorFlow Hub, and Google Colab, before moving on to solve regression and classification problems with sequential models.Building on this solid foundation, you’ll learn how to tune models and work with different types of neural network, getting hands-on with real-world deep learning applications such as text encoding, temperature forecasting, image augmentation, and audio processing.By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to tackle your own ambitious deep learning projects with TensorFlow.

Containers have become the foundation of modern software platforms, transforming how applications are built, shipped, secured, and operated. However, as systems grow more distributed and regulated, using containers effectively requires more than basic commands; it requires architectural understanding, security awareness, and operational discipline.The Ultimate Docker Container Book, Fourth Edition, takes you from container fundamentals to running production-grade platforms. Starting from first principles, the book explains how containers reduce friction in the software supply chain and progressively introduces images, networking, state management, testing, and debugging. You will learn how to design and operate distributed applications, manage multi-service systems, and apply orchestration using Kubernetes. This fourth edition places a stronger emphasis on security, governance, and compliance, reflecting real-world enterprise requirements. It also explores AI and automation in DevOps, showing how modern teams can enhance delivery and operations responsibly.Whether you are a developer, DevOps engineer, platform engineer, or software architect, this book equips you with the skills and understanding needed to build secure, scalable, and future-ready container platforms.

From data ingestion and storage, through data processing and data analytics, to application hosting and even machine learning, whatever your IT infrastructural need, there's a good chance that Google Cloud has a service that can help. But instant, self-serve access to a virtually limitless pool of IT resources has its drawbacks. More and more organizations are running into cost overruns, security problems, and simple why is this not working? headaches.This book has been written by one of Google’s top trainers as a tutorial on how to create your infrastructural foundation in Google Cloud the right way. By following Google’s ten-step checklist and Google’s security blueprint, you will learn how to set up your initial identity provider and create an organization. Further on, you will configure your users and groups, enable administrative access, and set up billing. Next, you will create a resource hierarchy, configure and control access, and enable a cloud network. Later chapters will guide you through configuring monitoring and logging, adding additional security measures, and enabling a support plan with Google.By the end of this book, you will have an understanding of what it takes to leverage Terraform for properly building a Google Cloud foundational layer that engenders security, flexibility, and extensibility from the ground up.
