Practice makes perfect Pandas. Work out your Pandas skills against dozens of real-world challenges, each carefully designed to build an intuitive knowledge of essential Pandas tasks. Discover 50 exercises that will strengthen your Pandas skills to a level of automatic fluency. You’ll test yourself against common pandas challenges such as data cleaning, and explore real-world datasets such as New York Taxis, Kickstarter projects, and global tourist spending. Detailed explanations help guide your success and make your new skills stick. You’ll even get a big boost to productivity, with tasks that used to mean a trip to StackOverflow now a natural part of your skillset. Pandas approaches problems differently than Python. The syntax is the same, but the data structures are different, and the way you structure your solutions is also different. Pandas is so vast that it’s easy to lose track of all the techniques. And unlike the core Python language, which tries to adhere to the maxim “There should be only one way to do it,” there are often many ways to accomplish the same task in Pandas. Knowing which of these ways is fastest to execute and easiest to maintain isn’t always obvious, even (or especially) if you’re an experienced Python developer.

Build AI-Enhanced Audio Plugins with C++ explains how to embed Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology inside tools that can be used by audio and music professionals, through worked examples using Python, C++ and audio APIs which demonstrate how to combine technologies to produce professional, AI-enhanced creative tools. The first aim of this book is to show you how to build AI-enhanced music software. But I will take a different approach to many other AI and signal processing books. I have carefully developed this approach to solve specific problems and to address particular challenges you will face as a developer of AI-enhanced music software. My second aim is to show you how to construct the technology in a way that makes it accessible to musicians and audio professionals. Knowing how to build and run AI-enhanced music systems on your machine is one thing. A quirky Python script hacked together to work on your setup is acceptable for research and experimentation but you will have trouble getting musicians to use it. If you are a student programmer at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, you will find new knowledge in all areas of the book. You might be assigned all or part of this book as a textbook for a course you are studying, or you might have discovered the book independently. The book will teach you some C++ programming along the way, as well as helping you to understand how to use an IDE and associated tools to develop software. If you are a Machine Learning engineer or AI scientist wishing to apply your skills in the music software domain, the book will help you do that. You will be familiar with the concepts of machine learning models, training and inference, but you will likely need to become more familiar with digital signal processing techniques. As a Machine Learning engineer, you likely work primarily in Python or a specialised language. The book covers some Python but is mainly focused on C++ programming.

Learn more about Gradle features with code snippets and short articles. The articles and code will get you started quickly and will give more insight in Gradle. When I started to learn about Gradle I wrote done little code snippets with features of Gradle I found interesting. To access my notes from different locations I wrote the snippets with a short explanation in a blog: Messages from mrhaki. I labeled the post as Gradle Goodness, because I thought this is good stuff, and that is how the Gradle Goodness series began. The blog posts turned out to be a useful resource for people learning and using Groovy in their every day programming. The Gradle Goodness Notebook contains the blog posts about Gradle previously mentioned on my blog. The posts have been edited slightly so they can be used for the book. The book gives a broad overview of all the great features we can find in the Gradle build tool.

The book is self-contained and includes the desired mathematical background. The book covers most of the data structures and classical graphs algorithms, string algorithms, matroid algorithms, linear algebra algorithms, flow and circulation algorithms, linear programming solvers, and integer algorithms. It covers several topics which are rarely covered in the existing textbooks. Pseudocode is provided for every algorithm. Proof of correctness and the complexity analysis is given for every algorithm. Examples are also provided to help explain several algorithms. The book is designed for an introductory as well as an advance course in the design and analysis of algorithms. It is intended for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of computer science and engineering. Some of the topics covered in the book are as follows. i) String homomorphism and isomorphism ii) Detailed proof of graph matching algorithm including augmenting path computation iii) Gallai Edmonds decomposition algorithm iv) Matroid Intersection algorithm Klein. There are excellent textbooks1 available for an undergraduate course on algorithms. However, the same cannot be said for graduate level books on the subject. A graduate level book requires rigorous treatment of two issues for each algorithm: the correctness proof and the time/space complexity analysis. The motive behind writing this book was to develop a textbook covering most of the traditional topics but with complete proof of correctness and complexity analysis. The book is not only for a graduate student but also for an advance undergraduate student as well. It is self contained so that an undergraduate student can follow the subject without having to study other books.

All You Need to Know, and Nothing You Don't, to Solve Real Problems with Python. Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, used for everything from shell scripts to web development to data science. As a result, Python is a great language to learn, but you don't need to learn "everything" to get started, just how to use it efficiently to solve real problems. You’ll then use this package in a simple dynamic web application built using the Flask web framework, which you’ll also deploy to the live Web. As a result, Learn Enough Python to Be Dangerous is especially appropriate as a prerequisite to learning web development with Python. Data Science is a rapidly developing field that combines tools from computation and statistics to create insights and draw conclusions from data. Luckily, there is broad agreement that Python is an excellent tool for Data Science, whatever it is exactly.

This book discusses a range of topics that are essential to understanding cyber security, including legal implications and technical aspects, cyber detection, and minimising the threats so that governments and organisations can function without noticeable degradation of service. Unlike other technological threats, cyber security threats have the potential to destroy governments and undermine democratic processes – which makes an overarching cyber security strategy essential for all functioning governments. Thus, the book serves as a guide for developing strategies and ideas in the field and as a motivator for other governments and interested parties to develop and implement effective strategies. The development of cyber security strategies calls for new skills at the technical and user levels alike. However, IT skills are sometimes in short supply, and without a government policy on cyber security training, the lack of these skills could hamper the full potential of cyber security. The book explores various aspects and challenges of cyber security strategy and highlights the benefits and drawbacks, offering in-depth insights into the field. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Deep Learning are powerful and intelligent technologies that have prevalent applications in the finance domain. These technologies enable financial institutions to develop advanced systems such as fraud detection, portfolio management, market segmentation, stock price prediction, and security anomaly detection. Recent decades have shown a great deal of research applications of AI in various areas of finance.

This book provides detailed and practical information for practitioners to understand why they should choose certification. It covers the pros and cons, and shows how to design to comply with the specifications (FIPS-140, SP800 documents, and related international specs such as AIS31, GM/T-0005-2021, etc.). It also covers how to perform compliance testing. By the end of the book, you will know how to interact with accredited certification labs and with related industry forums (CMUF, ICMC). In short, the book covers everything you need to know to make sound designs. There is a process for FIPS-140 (Federal Information Processing Standard) certification for cryptographic products sold to the US government. And there are parallel certifications in other countries, resulting in a non-trivial and complex process. A large market of companies has grown to help companies navigate the FIPS-140 certification process. And there are accredited certification labs you must contract toget the certification. Although this was once a fairly niche topic, it is no longer so. Other industries―banking, military, healthcare, air travel, and more―have adopted FIPS certification for cryptographic products. For hardware and software engineers or managers of engineering programs that include any form of cryptographic functionality, including silicon vendors, library vendors, OS vendors, and system integrators.
