Who this book is for This book assumes prior programming experience and would most likely not be suitable for absolute beginners. The web scraping examples require competence with Python and installing modules with pip. If you need a brush-up there is an excellent free online book by Mark Pilgrim available at http://www.diveintopython.net. This is the resource I originally used to learn Python. The examples also assume knowledge of how webpages are constructed with HTML and updated with JavaScript. Prior knowledge of HTTP, CSS, AJAX, WebKit, and Redis would also be useful but not required, and will be introduced as each technology is needed. Detailed references for many of these topics are available at https://developer.mozilla.org/.

Who this book is for This book is for Python developers who want to build real-world artificial intelligence applications. This book is friendly to Python beginners, but being familiar with Python would be useful to play around with the code. It will also be useful for experienced Python programmers who are looking to use artificial intelligence techniques in their existing technology stacks.

This book seeks to put an end to many of these common questions and misconceptions about web scraping, while providing a comprehensive guide to most common webscraping tasks.

What You Will Learn By digging into the material presented here, you will learn: • How simple programs can help you manipulate and analyze language data, and how to write these programs • How key concepts from NLP and linguistics are used to describe and analyze language • How data structures and algorithms are used in NLP • How language data is stored in standard formats, and how data can be used to evaluate the performance of NLP techniques

Machine learning is rapidly becoming a fixture in our data-driven world. It is relied upon in fields as diverse as robotics and medicine to retail and publishing. In this book, you will learn how to build real-world machine learning applications step by step. Working through easy-to-understand projects, you will learn how to process various types of data and how and when to apply different machine learning techniques such as supervised or unsupervised learning. Each of the projects in this book provides educational as well as practical value. For example, you'll learn how to use clustering techniques to find bargain airfares and how to use linear regression to find a cheap apartment. This book will teach you how to use machine learning to collect, analyze, and act on massive quantities of data in an approachable, no-nonsense manner.

The Plan for the Book This book will cover a lot of ground with machine learning, but by the end you should have a better grasp of how to write machine learning code as well as how to deploy to a production environment and operate at scale. Machine learning is a fascinating field that can achieve mu

You could argue that it is a fortunate coincidence that you are holding this book in your hands (or your e-book reader). After all, there are millions of books printed every year, which are read by millions of readers; and then there is this book read by you. You could also argue that a couple of machine learning algorithms played their role in leading you to this book (or this book to you). And we, the authors, are happy that you want to understand more about the how and why. Most of this book will cover the how. How should the data be processed so that machine learning algorithms can make the most out of it? How should you choose the right algorithm for a problem at hand? Occasionally, we will also cover the why. Why is it important to measure correctly? Why does one algorithm outperform another one in a given scenario? We know that there is much more to learn to be an expert in the field. After all, we only covered some of the "hows" and just a tiny fraction of the "whys". But at the end, we

Python Machine Learning Unlock deeper insights into machine learning with this vital guide to cutting-edge predictive analytics

I am really excited that Python has established itself as an important technology in the financial industry. I am also sure that it will play an even more important role there in the future, in fields like derivatives and risk analytics or high performance computing. My hope is that this book will help professionals, researchers, and students alike make the most of Python when facing the challenges of this fascinating field.

Why should you learn to write programs? Writing programs (or programming) is a very creative and rewarding activity. You can write programs for many reasons, ranging from making your living to solving a difficult data analysis problem to having fun to helping someone else solve a problem. This book assumes that everyone needs to know how to program, and that once you know how to program you will figure out what you want to do with your newfound skills.

Who Is This Book For? In my teaching both at the University of Washington and at various tech-focused conferences and meetups, one of the most common questions I have heard is this: “how should I learn Python?” The people asking are generally technically minded students, developers, or researchers, often with an already strong background in writ‐ ing code and using computational and numerical tools. Most of these folks don’t want to learn Python per se, but want to learn the language with the aim of using it as a tool for data-intensive and computational science. While a large patchwork of videos, blog posts, and tutorials for this audience is available online, I’ve long been frustrated by the lack of a single good answer to this question; that is what inspired this book. The book is not meant to be an introduction to Python or to programming in gen‐ eral; I assume the reader has familiarity with the Python language, including defining functions, assigning variables, calling methods of objects, controlling the flow of a program, and other basic tasks. Instead, it is meant to help Python users learn to use Python’s data science stack—libraries such as IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and related tools—to effectively store, manipulate, and gain insight from data

Who this book is for If you are an aspiring data scientist and you have at least a working knowledge of data analysis and Python, this book will get you started in data science. Data analysts with experience in R or MATLAB will also find the book to be a comprehensive reference to enhance their data

Who This Book is For First off, this book is for anyone with a reasonable grasp of Python or JavaScript who wants to explore one of the most exciting areas in the data-processing ecosystem right now, the exploding field of data-visualisation for the web. It’s also about addressing some specific pain-points which in my experience are quite common.

Who this book is for This book is for web developers who have working knowledge of Python and would like to build amazing web services by taking advantage of the various frameworks of Python. You should have some knowledge of RESTful APIs.

Is This Book for Me? This book is meant for two types of people: 1. Programmers who have never built a website before and do not know how web frameworks operate 2. Programmers who have dabbled or used the basics of Django, and who would like to hone their skills and take advantage of Django’s intermediate features The book thus caters to both beginners and intermediate users. The only knowledge assumed is basic programming knowledge and Python.

Web Development with Django Cookbook - Second Edition will guide you through all the web development process with Django 1.8 framework. You will get started with the virtual environment and configuration of the project. Then, you will learn how to define the database structure with reusable components. The book will move on to the forms and views to enter and list the data. Then, you will continue with responsive templates and JavaScript to create the best user experience. After this, you will find out how to tweak administration in order to make the website editors happy. You will also learn how to integrate your own functionality in Django CMS. The next step will be to learn how to use hierarchical structures. You will find out that collecting data from different sources and providing data to others in different formats isn't as difficult as you thought. Then, you'll be introduced to some programming and debugging tricks. Finally, you will be shown how to test and deploy the project to a remote dedicated server.

Who This Book Is For You should have some level of Python coding experience to make the most of this book. Although the book assumes no previous Flask knowledge, Python concepts such as packages, modules, functions, decorators, and object-oriented programming are assumed to be well understood. Some familiarity with exceptions and diagnosing issues from stack traces will be very useful.

This book was written for practicing Python programmers who want to become proficient in Python 3. If you know Python 2 but are willing to migrate to Python 3.4 or later, you should be fine. At the time of this writing, the majority of professional Python programmers are using Python 2, so I took special care to highlight Python 3 features that may be new to that audience. However, Fluent Python is about making the most of Python 3.4, and I do not spell out the fixes needed to make the code work in earlier versions. Most examples should run in Python 2.7 with little or no changes, but in some cases, backporting would require significant rewriting.

Two weeks before the first day of classes, I decided to write my own book. My goals were: • Keep it short. It is better for students to read 10 pages than not read 50 pages. • Be careful with vocabulary. I tried to minimize jargon and define each term at first use. • Build gradually. To avoid trapdoors, I took the most difficult topics and split them into a series of small steps. • Focus on programming, not the programming language. I included the minimum useful subset of Java and left out the rest. I needed a title, so on a whim I chose How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.

This simple book is meant to get you started in programming. The title says it’s the hard way to learn to write code, but it’s actually not. It’s only the “hard” way because it uses a technique called instruction. Instruction is where I tell you to do a sequence of controlled exercises designed to build a skill through repetition. This technique works very well with beginners who know nothing and need to acquire basic skills before they can understand more complex topics. It’s used in everything from martial arts to music to even basic math and reading skills.

This book would not have been possible without the wonderful and extremely professional staff at No Starch Press. Bill Pollock invited me to write an introductory book, and I deeply appreciate that original offer. Tyler Ortman helped shape my thinking in the early stages of drafting. Liz Chadwick’s and Leslie Shen’s initial feedback on each chapter was invaluable, and Anne Marie Walker helped to clarify many parts of the book. Riley Hoffman answered every question I had about the process of assembling a complete book and patiently turned my work into a beautiful finished product.
