If you’re a programmer looking to dive into the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning, look no further than “AI and Machine Learning for Coders: A Programmer’s Guide to Artificial Intelligence” by Laurence Moroney. This book is the perfect starting point for anyone wanting to make a career move into the exciting field of AI.
Unlike many other books on machine learning, this guide takes a practical, hands-on approach. It is based on Moroney’s highly successful AI courses and provides a code-first approach that allows you to learn key concepts while building your confidence. You’ll be able to implement common machine learning scenarios such as computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and sequence modeling for various platforms including web, mobile, cloud, and embedded runtimes.
One of the standout features of this book is its focus on practical lessons and working directly with the code. Many other books overwhelm readers with complex math right from the start, but “AI and Machine Learning for Coders” takes a different approach. You’ll learn how to build models with TensorFlow, one of the most popular machine learning frameworks, using skills that employers are actively seeking.
The book covers the basics of machine learning through code samples, making it accessible to programmers at different skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience in the field, you’ll find valuable insights and guidance in this book.
Topics covered include computer vision, including feature detection in images, as well as NLP for tokenizing and sequencing words and sentences. The book also includes methods for embedding models in Android and iOS, allowing you to create AI-powered applications for mobile devices. Additionally, it covers serving models over the web and in the cloud with TensorFlow Serving.
It’s worth noting that when you purchase this book, you’ll also have access to the accompanying PDF in your Audible Library, making it easy to reference and review the content.
In conclusion, “AI and Machine Learning for Coders: A Programmer’s Guide to Artificial Intelligence” is a must-read for programmers interested in entering the field of AI. With its practical approach, hands-on lessons, and focus on code, it provides a solid foundation for building your skills and confidence in AI and machine learning.
