Are you ready to unlock the power of Go, master obviousness-oriented programming, and learn the secrets of Zen mountaineering? If so, The Power of Go: Tools is the perfect next step on your software engineering journey, explaining how to write simple, powerful, robust, and even delightful programs in Go. Includes free updates for life. This friendly, supportive, yet challenging book will show you how master software engineers think, and guide you through the process of designing production-ready command-line tools in Go step by step. There are lots of books that will teach you Go, but not many that will show you what to do with it. In other words, once you’ve learned how to write Go code, what code should you write? This book is aimed at those who have a little experience with Go (or even a lot), and would now like to learn how to build good software with it. What is “good” software anyway? What would it look like in Go? And how do we get there from here? If software engineering is a craft, which it surely is, then how do we go about mastering it? It’s all very well to say “just write programs”, but how? How do we take some problem and start designing a program to solve it? How can we incorporate tests into the design? What are we even aiming to do here? I hope you’ll find at least some useful answers to these questions in this book, which focuses on developing command-line tools, but most of it applies to any kind of Go program.

This book ​offers step-by-step descriptions of various random systems and explores the world of computer simulations. In addition, this book offers a working introduction to those who want to learn how to create and run Monte Carlo simulations. Monte Carlo simulation has been a powerful computational tool for physics models, and when combined with the programming language Excel, this book is a valuable resource for readers who wish to acquire knowledge that can be applied to more complex systems. Visualization of the simulation results via the Visual Basic built in Microsoft EXCEL is presented as the first step towards the subject. Prior experience with the Excel add-in VBA is kept to a minimum. In addition, a chapter on quantum optimization simulation utilizing Python is added to explore the quantum computation. Readers will gain a fundamental knowledge and techniques of simulation physics, which can be extended to STEM projects and other research projects. The programming language used in this book is the built-in Visual Basic for Application (VBA) of EXCEL. The language is simple for numerical computation and can re-write legacy BASIC programs found in other renowned books.

The goal of the book is to provide the basis for a critical understanding of most modern programming languages. Thus, rather than focusing on a specific language, the book identifies the most important principles shared by large classes of languages. The notion of ‘abstract machine’ is a unifying concept that helps to maintain an accurate and elementary treatment. The book introduces, analyses in depth, and compares the imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, concurrent, constraint-based, and service-oriented programming paradigms. All material coming from the first English edition has been updated and extended, clarifying some tricky points, and discussing newer programming languages. This second edition contains new chapters dedicated to constraint, concurrent, and service-oriented programming. Following the guiding principle of the whole book, we have not referred to a specific language, even if we have tried to make some notions concrete by examining the case of Java.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) involves the creation of computer systems that can do activities that would ordinarily require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision making, and language translation. Through increasingly complex programming approaches, it has been transforming and advancing the discipline of Computer Science. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that has been integrated into almost every activity of our day-to-day life, from chatbots on different websites to auto-recommendations to smart speakers like Alexa and Siri.The newest revolution of AI is ChatGPT released by OpenAI company while this book was being prepared. ChatGPT is an AI-based chatbot that specializes in dialogue trained with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. It is a large fine-tuned language model version of a model in OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 family of language models.

This book provides an introduction to the basic ideas involved in cybersecurity, whose principal aim is protection of IT systems against unwanted behaviour mediated by the networks which connect them. Due to the widespread use of the Internet in modern society for activities ranging from social networking and entertainment to distribution of utilities and public administration, failures of cybersecurity can threaten almost all aspects of life today. This book gives an introduction to cybersecurity for people who would like to know more about the security risks which arise in the modern IT world, where computers and many other electronic devices communicate with one another through networks. The detailed requirements for cybersecurity vary from one application area to another, but in general terms are a matter of achieving some simple aims: that data must not be read, modified, deleted or made unavailable by persons who are not allowed to. Achievment of such aims is a multidisciplinary challenge, as an IT system consists of both hardware, software and human users, all of which can contribute to the success or failure of efforts to maintain cybersecurity. In this book we therefore look at the most common, both technical and non-technical, ways in which cybersecurity may be threatened, at how you can protect yourself against such threats, and how to deal with situations where this protection fails.

This book discusses the best research roadmaps, strategies, and challenges in data-centric approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various domains. It presents comparative studies of model-centric and data-centric AI. It also highlights different phases in data-centric approach and data-centric principles. The book presents prominent use cases of data-centric AI. It serves as a reference guide for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field that aims to create intelligent systems which are able to perform tasks that typically need human intelligence. These systems rely on a variety of building blocks that work together to enable AI capabilities. In this explanation, we will explore the fundamental building blocks of AI, including Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), computer vision, and robotics. Data-centric AI empowers decision-making by providing actionable insights and recommendations based on data analysis. By leveraging large datasets, AI systems can identify patterns, correlations, and trends that may not be comprehensive to humans. These insights can inform strategic business decisions, optimize processes, and unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth.

Firstly, it takes common competition scenarios as a guide by giving the main processes of using Machine Learning to solve real-world problems, namely problem modelling, data exploration, feature engineering, model training. And then lists the main points of difficulties, general ideas with solutions in the whole process. Moreover, this book comprehensively covers several common problems in the field of Machine Learning competitions such as recommendation, temporal prediction, advertising, text computing, etc. This book is a systematic introduction to contests in the field of algorithms, not only explaining the theory behind the practice, but also elaborating in detail the guide to scoring and necessary skills needed from various angles, using different cases. Many Deep Learning algorithms have been applying to Natural Language Processing (NLP). The early word embedding model and the subsequent development of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks have played a very important role for this time period, greatly improving the accuracy baseline of the original statistical method and achieving more generalized effects in different fields (such as translation, voice recognition, and other tasks). In the current latest environment, the self-attention mechanism models like transformer structures are applicable to a sea of data, which could then generate training models.
