Creating Apps with React Native
Produce high-quality, cross-platform apps with user experiences almost identical to pure native apps. When evaluating cross-platform frameworks, developers make an assumption that quality will be compromised. But that doesn't have to be true. The principles in this book will show you how to meet quality expectations both from engineering and consumer standpoints. You'll also realize the ideal of a greater front end. That means your whole front-end team, including app side and web side, will be optimized. The shared knowledge base as well as mobilization potential give more flexibility and strength in all front-end facets without the need of increasing team sizes. The market has seen a large amount of high quality React Native apps and successful stories about them. Nevertheless, under optimized apps and unsuccessful stories shadow. The fundamental difference between the two opposing groups is understanding. Discover the critical points in the React and React Native architecture, a ...

Advanced Analytics and Deep Learning Models
The book provides readers with an in-depth understanding of concepts and technologies related to the importance of analytics and deep learning in many useful real-world applications such as e-healthcare, transportation, agriculture, stock market, etc. Advanced analytics is a mixture of machine learning, artificial intelligence, graphs, text mining, data mining, semantic analysis. It is an approach to data analysis. Beyond the traditional business intelligence, it is a semi and autonomous analysis of data by using different techniques and tools. However, deep learning and data analysis both are high centers of data science. Almost all the private and public organizations collect heavy amounts of data, i.e., domain-specific data. Many small/large companies are exploring large amounts of data for existing and future technology. Deep learning is also exploring large amounts of unsupervised data making it beneficial and effective for big data. Deep learning can be used to deal with al ...
