Build your own low-level game engine in Metal! This book introduces you to graphics programming in Metal — Apple’s framework for programming on the GPU. You’ll build your own game engine in Metal where you can create 3D scenes and build your own 3D games. Metal is a unified, low-level, low-overhead application programming interface (API) for the graphics processing unit, or GPU. It’s unified because it applies to both 3D graphics and data-parallel computation paradigms. Metal is a low-level API because it provides programmers near-direct access to the GPU. Finally, Metal is a low-overhead API because it reduces the runtime cost by multi-threading and pre-compiling of resources. But beyond the technical definition, Metal is the most appropriate way to use the parallel processing power of Apple GPUs to visualize data or solve numerical challenges. It’s also tailored to be used for Machine Learning, image/video processing or, as this book describes, graphics rendering. This book introduces you to low-level graphics programming in Metal — Apple’s framework for programming on the graphics processing unit (GPU). As you progress through this book, you’ll learn many of the fundamentals that go into making a game engine and gradually put together your own engine. Once your game engine is complete, you’ll be able to put together 3D scenes and program your own simple 3D games. Because you’ll have built your 3D game engine from scratch, you’ll be able to customize every aspect of what you see on your screen. This book is for intermediate Swift developers interested in learning 3D graphics or gaining a deeper understanding of how game engines work.

Build your Apps With Flutter! Flutter is an exciting development toolkit that lets you build apps for iOS, Android and even web and desktop, all from a single codebase. It uses a declarative approach to UI development. You can "hot reload" code while developing, and apps will perform at native speed thanks to its custom rendering engine. With Flutter and Flutter Apprentice, you can achieve the dream of building fast applications, faster. Flutter is an incredible user interface (UI) toolkit that lets you build apps for iOS and Android — and even the web and desktop platforms like macOS, Windows and Linux — all from a single codebase. Flutter has all the benefits of other cross-platform tools, especially because you’re targeting multiple platforms from one codebase. Furthermore, it improves upon most cross-platform tools thanks to a super-fast rendering engine that makes your Flutter apps perform as native apps. In addition, Flutter features are generally independent of native features, since you use Flutter’s own type of UI elements, called widgets, to create your UI. And Flutter has the ability to work with native code, so you can integrate your Flutter app with native features when you need to. If you’re coming from a platform like iOS or Android, you’ll find the Flutter development experience refreshing! Thanks to a feature called “hot reload”, you rarely need to rebuild your apps as you develop them. This book is for developers who are new to Flutter, and also developers that already have some experience with building apps for the iOS and Android platforms, or web apps.

Learn How to Use Kotlin to Share Code Across Platforms. Application developers have to often repeat the same code across multiple platforms, which is not only time-consuming but also error-prone. Most documentation targets only specific use cases but misses out on the nuances essential to sharing code effectively across platforms. Kotlin Multiplatform by Tutorials will help you efficiently implement real-world apps for different platforms by sharing common code. If your goal is to leverage Kotlin to share code among your native apps, this is the book for you. Maintaining multiple native apps with duplicated code can be a time-consuming process. This duplication also increases the testing effort, eventually slowing down the project and increasing costs. You can use Kotlin Multiplatform to share code between your Android, iOS and desktop apps but there are multiple considerations. You should be able to develop the UI natively using the framework of your choice. Using the right frameworks can drastically reduce the UI development time and provide you with flexible APIs. At the same time, you need to figure out how Kotlin Multiplatform fits in with your current architecture and how you can access platform-specific APIs. Choosing the right architecture can make your app testable, maintainable and easy to work with. This book is for mobile developers and managers who want to explore how they can use Kotlin Multiplatform to share code across Android, iOS and desktop apps. If you want to reduce development and testing time by writing certain parts of your apps only once, this book will help.

Data Scientists are experts at analyzing, modelling and visualizing data but, at one point or another, have all encountered difficulties in collaborating with or delivering their work to the people and systems that matter. Born out of the agile software movement, DevOps is a set of practices, principles and tools that help software engineers reliably deploy work to production. This book takes the lessons of DevOps and aplies them to creating and delivering production-grade data science projects in Python and R. This book’s first section explores how to build Data Science projects that deploy to production with no frills or fuss. Its second section covers the rudiments of administering a server, including Linux, application, and network administration before concluding with a demystification of the concerns of enterprise IT/Administration in its final section, making it possible for data scientists to communicate and collaborate with their organization’s security, networking, and administration teams.

Get practical tools and strategies for teaching AI across the K-12 curriculum with this accessible guide. As AI continues to transform our world, educators have a responsibility to stay current with the changes, and ensure that students have the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in the future. Written by an educator who is currently teaching on this topic, How to Teach AI shares practical strategies and tools based on what good practice looks like in the classroom right now. Readers will build confidence in integrating AI into their curriculum so they can effectively prepare students for their careers. In the chapters that follow, you will find accessible and practical tools to help you teach about and leverage the power of AI in your instructional practice. We will discuss the foundations of AI, such as algorithms, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, neural networks, and Generative AI (including the ubiquitous ChatGPT), and I’ll provide examples of how these technologies are being implemented in various industries, as well as their impact on education. Machine Learning (ML) is a component of Artificial Intelligence in which computer systems enhance their proficiency in tasks by analyzing data and patterns. Machine Learning relies on algorithms that have been trained on data, such as statistical models. These specialized algorithms then respond to this data, seek patterns in it, and learn from it so they can better analyze new, similar information. As an AI program’s knowledge base grows, it will continue to improve on past iterations (as it has been programmed to do), which, in turn, will expand the realm of possibilities for what it can do. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an upgrade from GPT-3 (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3), a trained language model that uses Deep Learning and can simulate human conversation.
