Mastering JavaScript Design Patterns
Applying design patterns to JavaScript code creates more reliable and maintainable code. In this book, you will explore different design patterns and learn where and how to implement them with the help of detailed examples. In the first part of the book, we start off with an introduction to design patterns, and then move on to creating classical structures that are used to organize code. Next, we look at the creational, structural, and behavioral patterns. The second part of the book dives into patterns used for functional programming, model view patterns, patterns to build web applications, and messaging patterns. A number of very interesting advanced JavaScript patterns such as dependency injection and live postprocessing are also covered. By the end of this book, you will learn to identify places where a pattern would improve code readability and maintainability. ...

scikit-learn Cookbook
Python is quickly becoming the go-to language for analysts and data scientists due to its simplicity and flexibility, and within the Python data space, scikit-learn is the unequivocal choice for machine learning. Its consistent API and plethora of features help solve any machine learning problem it comes across. The book starts by walking through different methods to prepare your data—be it a dataset with missing values or text columns that require the categories to be turned into indicator variables. After the data is ready, you'll learn different techniques aligned with different objectives—be it a dataset with known outcomes such as sales by state, or more complicated problems such as clustering similar customers. Finally, you'll learn how to polish your algorithm to ensure that it's both accurate and resilient to new datasets. ...
