A new title in The QuestKids children's series that was launched by In Easy Steps in 2018, designed to make learning fun for children. Coding with Python - Create Amazing Graphics introduces coding in Python through a variety of projects. Each one teaches new coding concepts and ...results in some amazing graphics. Discover how to mix colours, make patterns, draw 2D and 3D shapes. Learn how to use loops, variables, random numbers, and functions in Python. Packed with challenges, tips, and extensions to keep all budding coders engaged and eager to keep learning and creating! To create the games in this book, children will need a desktop computer or a laptop. The games require a proper keyboard so will not work well on a tablet or iPad. It is recommended that children should be supervised when using the internet, especially when using a new website. This is the UK English edition. Read more

Learn to program with visual examples. Programs increase in complexity as you progress - from drawing a circle to 3D graphics, animations, and simulations. A Graphical Introduction to Programming teaches computer programming with the aid of 100 example programs, each of which int...egrates graphical or sound output. The Processing-language-based examples range from drawing a circle and animating bouncing balls to 3D graphics, audio visualization, and interactive games. Readers learn core programming concepts like conditions, loops, arrays, strings and functions, as well as how to use Processing to draw lines, shapes, and 3D objects. They'll learn key computer graphics concepts like manipulating images, animating text, mapping textures onto objects, and working with video. Advanced examples include sound effects and audio visualization, network communication, 3D geometry and animation, simulations of snow and smoke, predator-prey populations, and interactive games.

We are at crossroads in deep learning. Today, deep learning developers typically utilize one of the top two machine learning frameworks: Tensorflow, developed by Google/Deepmind, and PyTorch, developed by Facebook. In industry, Tensorflow is still more widely adopted. Still, PyTo...rch is rapidly up-and-coming in the research community, where 70%-80% of recently submitted conference research papers utilize PyTorch instead of Tensorflow. A recent 2020 Stack Overflow survey of the most popular frameworks and libraries reported that PyTorch was selected by an est 30% of respondents vs. 70% for Tensorflow, with PyTorch nearly doubling in popularity over the last two years. In the next couple of years, as these machine learning frameworks become equal in popularity, a book must well verse developers in both so they can choose the right methodology to help solve their deep learning problems.
The problem is that most deep learning books published today focus on just one of the machine learning frameworks.Python Deep Learningwould identify both frameworks' pros and cons and then teach deep learning concepts utilizing practical examples from the framework best suited for particular problems. This book also features the APIs and libraries integrated with the respective framework, Keras for Tensorflow and fastai for PyTorch, that make application development and deployment even more straightforward.
What this Books Covers:
Introduction and overview of deep learning concepts
Description of the two machine learning frameworks: Tensorflow and PyTorch, as well as successful examples of their usage
Detail the pros and cons of each machine learning framework
Overview of the supportive libraries and APIs (including Keras and fastai) for each of the frameworks that make application development simpler
Chapter-by-chapter review of the top neural network topologies (CNN, RNN, LSTM, MLP, and several newer variants)
Interesting code examples of practical applications of the differe Read more
