AI-Assisted Programming for Web and Machine Learning shows you how to build applications and machine learning models and automate repetitive tasks.Part 1 focuses on coding, from building a user interface to the backend. You’ll use prompts to create the appearance of an app using HTML, styling with CSS, adding behavior with JavaScript, and working with multiple viewports. Next, you’ll build a web API with Python and Flask and refactor the code to improve code readability. Part 1 ends with using GitHub Copilot to improve the maintainability and performance of existing code. Part 2 provides a prompting toolkit for data science from data checking (inspecting data and creating distribution graphs and correlation matrices) to building and optimizing a neural network. You’ll use different prompt strategies for data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, training, hyperparameter optimization, and model evaluation for various machine learning models and use cases. The book closes with chapters on advanced techniques on GitHub Copilot and software agents. There are tips on code generation, debugging, and troubleshooting code. You’ll see how simpler and AI-powered agents work and discover tool calling.
AI-Native LLM Security. Threats, defenses, and best practices for building safe and trustworthy AI
Vaibhav Malik, Ken Huang, Ads Dawson
Adversarial AI attacks present a unique set of security challenges, exploiting the very foundation of how AI learns. This book explores these threats in depth, equipping cybersecurity professionals with the tools needed to secure generative AI and LLM applications. Rather than skimming the surface of emerging risks, it focuses on practical strategies, industry standards, and recent research to build a robust defense framework.Structured around actionable insights, the chapters introduce a secure-by-design methodology, integrating threat modeling and MLSecOps practices to fortify AI systems. You’ll discover how to leverage established taxonomies from OWASP, NIST, and MITRE to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Through real-world examples, the book highlights best practices for incorporating security controls into AI development life cycles, covering key areas such as CI/CD, MLOps, and open-access LLMs.Built on the expertise of its co-authors—pioneers in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications—this guide also addresses the ethical implications of AI security, contributing to the broader conversation on trustworthy AI. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to develop, deploy, and secure AI technologies with confidence and clarity.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Assuming a basic knowledge of PHP, XML, JavaScript and MySQL, this book will help you understand how the heart of AJAX beats and how the constituent technologies work together. After teaching the foundations, the book will walk you through numerous real-world case studies covering tasks you'll be likely to need for your own applications:Server-enabled form-validation pageOnline chat collaboration toolCustomized type-ahead text entry solutionReal-time charting using SVGDatabase-enabled, editable and customizable data gridRSS aggregator applicationA server-managed sortable list with drag&drop support using the script.aculo.us JavaScript toolkitThe appendices guide you through installing your working environment, using powerful tools that enable debugging, improving, and profiling your code, working with XSLT and XPath.From the Author, Cristian Darie AJAX and PHP: Building Responsive Web Applications is mainly a book for beginners, but when designing its contents we tried to find the ideal blend of topics that would help both novice and experienced web developers make a big step forward. One customer was very kind to let us know, through a review, that we succeeded:The theory behind all the technologies used is very clearly explained, without boring you with details about obvious things. Right from the first chapter you start learning by examples. The examples can be easily adapted to many web projects and they cover stuff that is both useful and fun.Here are a few examples of such useful and fun things that you can find in this book:details on using proxy scripts to work around the security measures in modern browsersclient-side and server-side code that doesn't break when fed with special characters (such as
