Deep Learning with Python, 2nd Edition, by François Chollet

 

I will use a word that I reserve for only the very best writing: "Crisp".

The author takes the reader on a journey of discovery - and carefully explains concepts, techniques, and strategies.

There are so many good books in the AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning space - this is my #1 recommendation for anyone wanting to initially explore Deep Learning.

 

Note:

I suggested this book, for acquisition, to the Bellevue Public Library (King County, Washington State) - which was subsequently acquired - and allowed me to be the first library member to read it.

 

 

2022-05-20 Friday: Book Review - Kafka In Action

 

 

Kafka In Action 

 Authors: Dylan Scott, Viktor Gamov, Dave Klein

272 pages

Publication Date: February 15, 2022

 

 A solid, well-written book

I liked the clarity of the writing, the applicability of the code examples, and the clean/crisp illustrations.

This is a useful book for folks new to Kafka - as well as managers and architects - who may wish to understand Kafka at a deeper technical level.

Spring in Action, 6th Edition

"Fully revised for Spring 5.3"

Last night I finished reading Craig Walls Spring in Action, 6th Edition (published by Manning Publications Co. - and enjoyed the excellent writing, level of detail - and the pace of the material presented. An excellent book if you are looking to learn about Spring - or if you just wanted to do a quick refresh of your knowledge.
