C++ TodayNow that software development is shifting primarily toward mobile and cloud computing, the venerable C++ programming language is returning to the dominant position it held during the object-oriented boom of the 1990s. In this O'Reilly report, you'll learn why C++ is once again the preferred choice across several diverse industries, after taking a backseat to Java during the 2000s.
C++ is a complicated beast that's not easy to learn. But when you need a powerful, highly portable systems programming language or an application programming language with uncompromising performance, it's hard to beat. With the 2011 and 2014 updates, C++ feels like a completely new language, rather than the old C++ with new features bolted on.
Authors Jon Kalb and Ga�per A�man demonstrate how modern C++ (C++11 and C++14) provides the power, performance, libraries, and tools necessary for massive server farms as well as low-footprint mobile apps.

Numerical Methods Using KotlinThis in-depth guide covers a wide range of topics, including chapters on linear algebra, root finding, curve fitting, differentiation and integration, solving differential equations, random numbers and simulation, a whole suite of unconstrained and constrained optimization algorithms, statistics, regression and time series analysis. The mathematical concepts behind the algorithms are clearly explained, with plenty of code examples and illustrations to help even beginners get started.
In this book, you'll implement numerical algorithms in Kotlin using NM Dev, an object-oriented and high-performance programming library for applied and industrial mathematics. Discover how Kotlin has many advantages over Java in its speed, and in some cases, ease of use. In this book, you'll see how it can help you easily create solutions for your complex engineering and data science problems.
After reading this book, you'll come away with the knowledge to create your own numerical models and algori ...
Productionizing AIThis book is a guide to productionizing AI solutions using best-of-breed cloud services with workarounds to lower costs. Supplemented with step-by-step instructions covering data import through wrangling to partitioning and modeling through to inference and deployment, and augmented with plenty of Python code samples, the book has been written to accelerate the process of moving from script or notebook to app.
From an initial look at the context and ecosystem of AI solutions today, the book drills down from high-level business needs into best practices, working with stakeholders, and agile team collaboration. From there you'll explore data pipeline orchestration, machine and deep learning, including working with and finding shortcuts using artificial neural networks such as AutoML and AutoAI. You'll also learn about the increasing use of NoLo UIs through AI application development, industry case studies, and finally a practical guide to deploying containerized AI solutions.
