Are you interested in learning about programming but don’t know where to start? Do you want to avoid the common pitfalls that self-taught programmers tend to often make? Do you want to clear your misconceptions about the process of programming? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this audiobook is for you.... 50 Things to Know About Learning Programming by Kirollos Hanna offers a look inside a learning programmer’s mind and experiences. Most books on programming tell you to learn the rules of programming without telling what to do with those rules.

Getting MEAN with Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node teaches you how to develop web applications using the MEAN stack.

Welcome to the wonderful world of hacking, a seemingly magical world, crafted out of the heart of mystery and wonder, but an oh so very real world where those who hesitate for even just a moment end up in very deep doo-doo, and only the elite have what it takes to survive!

This revision of Manning's popular The Quick Python Book offers a clear, crisp introduction to the elegant Python programming language and its famously easy-to-read syntax. Written for programmers new to Python, this edition covers features common to other languages concisely, while introducing Python's comprehensive standard functions library and unique features in detail. After exploring Python's syntax, control flow, and basic data structures, the book shows how to create, test, and deploy full applications and larger code libraries.

The Well-Grounded Rubyist, Second Edition addresses both newcomers to Ruby, as well as Ruby programmers who want to deepen their understanding of the language. A creative tutorial that begins with your first Ruby program and goes on to explore sophisticated topics like callable objects, reflection, and threading, the book concentrates on the language, preparing you to use Ruby in any way you choose.

Akka in Action is a comprehensive tutorial on building message-oriented systems using Akka. The audiobook takes a hands-on approach, where each new concept is followed by an example that shows you how it works, how to implement the code, and how to (unit) test it.

Big data systems distribute datasets across clusters of machines, making it a challenge to efficiently query, stream, and interpret them. Spark can help. It is a processing system designed specifically for distributed data. It provides easy-to-use interfaces, along with the performance you need for production-quality analytics and machine learning. Spark 2 also adds improved programming APIs, better performance, and countless other upgrades.

Functional Programming in JavaScript teaches JavaScript developers functional techniques that will improve extensibility, modularity, reusability, testability, and performance. Through concrete examples and jargon-free explanations, this book teaches you how to apply functional programming to real-life development tasks.

The Art of Unit Testing, Second Edition guides you step-by-step from writing your first simple tests to developing robust test sets that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. You'll master the foundational ideas and quickly move to high-value subjects like mocks, stubs, and isolation, including frameworks such as Moq, FakeItEasy, and Typemock Isolator.

The Joy of Clojure, Second Edition is a deep account of the Clojure language. Fully updated for Clojure 1.6, this edition goes beyond the syntax to show you how to write fluent Clojure code. You'll learn functional and declarative approaches to programming and will master techniques that make Clojure elegant and efficient. The book shows you how to solve hard problems related to concurrency, interoperability, and performance, and how great it can be to think in the Clojure way.

Algorithms of the Intelligent Web, Second Edition teaches you how to create machine learning applications that crunch and wrangle data collected from users, web applications, and website logs. In this totally revised edition, you'll look at intelligent algorithms that extract real value from data. Key machine learning concepts are explained with code examples in Python's scikit-learn. This book guides you through algorithms to capture, store, and structure data streams coming from the web.

Real-World Machine Learning will teach you the concepts and techniques you need to be a successful machine learning practitioner without overdosing you on abstract theory and complex mathematics. By working through immediately relevant examples in Python, you'll build skills in data acquisition and modeling, classification, and regression. You'll also explore the most important tasks like model validation, optimization, scalability, and real-time streaming. When you're done, you'll be ready to successfully build, deploy, and maintain your own powerful ML systems.

Artificial intelligence is a growing field with many possibilities extending in many directions. Artificial intelligence encompasses many terms you may have heard and terms that we will be covering in this book like deep learning, neural networks, and machine learning. Sometimes we hear doubts out there that artificial intelligence will never be as good as humans are at navigating the choices and actions of other humans, but that is not always the case.

A machine capable of learning is already here; it is real, and it is exciting. Many may not be aware of it, but it is already an important role in our lives in many ways. How these computers are capable of doing all these things is the subject of this audiobook. Using this audiobook as a guide, we’ll come to understand how the art of neural networks has made it possible for computer science to turn in a whole new direction, opening the doors to an amazing new era of technology.
