In Artificial Intelligence for Business, author Doug Rose offers today's most accessible and useful introduction to AI and ML technologies ? and what they can and can't do. Rose begins by tracing AI's evolution from the early 1950s to the present, illuminating core ideas that still drive its development. Next, he explores recent innovations that have reinvigorated the field by providing the ?big data? that makes machine learning so powerful ? innovations such as GPS, social media and electronic transactions. Finally, he explains how today's machines learn by combining powerful processing, advanced algorithms, and artificial neural networks that mimic the human brain.Throughout, he illustrates key concepts with practical examples that help students connect AI, ML, and neural networks to specific problems and solutions. Step by step, he systematically demystifies these powerful technologies, removing the fear, bewilderment, and advanced math ? so students can understand the new possibilities they create, and start using them.

Now part of the Adobe Master Class series, it is intended for professionals and learners with at least intermediate-level skills, not ?beginner/intermediate? as previous editions were designated.
Today, JavaScript is radically different and more powerful than ever. In an environment where user interfaces are increasingly web-based, it's become the "lingua franca” of the web browser. Frameworks such as Electron and platforms like AWS Lambda are extending its power even further. If you're moving to JavaScript, you need to learn modern JavaScript, but most guides still focus on legacy techniques. In Modern JavaScript for the Impatient, best-selling author Cay Horstmann offers a concise, complete, and practical introduction to today's JavaScript techniques and tools, and shows how to avoid pitfalls from the past. Horstmann shows students how to take full advantage of the Standard Library, modern JavaScript tools, asynchronous and web programming, and much more. Students will find especially valuable coverage of toolchains and frameworks, which often baffle JavaScript newcomers. As in Core Java® SE 9 for the Impatient, Horstmann covers plenty of ground, but he presents his techniques in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding. This is JavaScript for the projects your students are starting now - and those they'll be seeing tomorrow.

Even now, software projects keep failing at an alarming rate, many that make it out the door are rife with defects, and even "reliable” software systems often don't meet expectations. Rank and file programmers act as mere technicians; software architects are inadequately trained for success, and the information available to them is haphazard, inconsistent, or wrong. In Righting Software, Juval Löwy helps overcome these problems by introducing a structured and highly engineered approach for system and project design that's proven to work. Löwy's software design methodology integrates two components that are intimately connected: system design (commonly known as architecture) and project design. Together, these comprise software design. For system design, he presents an engineered method for decomposing a system into smaller building blocks, or services - addressing the area where the vast majority of software architects currently fail. Next, he shows how to flow an effective project design from your system design, accurately calculating planned duration, cost, and risk, and devising several good execution options. The techniques and ideas in Righting Software apply regardless of software technologies, platforms, project size, company size, or industry - and they're specifically designed to address today's core causes of software failure. Targets the specific reasons so many software projects still fail, even when they're carefully architected and developed with agile methods Helps students integrate the two key elements of software design that must work together: system design and project design Includes a complete, start-to-finish case study By Microsoft Software Legend Juval Löwy, one of the world's leading experts in effective software engineering
