A quick guide to start writing your own fun and useful Julia apps-no prior experience required! This engaging guide shows, step by step, how to build custom programs using Julia, the open-source, intuitive scripting language. Written by 15-year-old technology phenom Tanmay Bakshi, the book is presented in an accessible style that makes learning easy and enjoyable. Tanmay Teaches Julia for Beginners: A Springboard to Machine Learning for All Ages clearly explains the basics of Julia programming and takes a look at cutting-edge machine learning applications. You will also discover how to interface your Julia apps with code written in Python. Inside, you'll learn to: * Set up and configure your Julia environment * Get up and running writing your own Julia apps * Define variables and use them in your programs * Use conditions, iterations, for-loops, and while-loops * Create, go through, and modify arrays * Build an app to manage things you lend and get back from your friends * Create and utilize dictionaries * Simplify maintenance of your code using functions * Apply functions on arrays and use functions recursively and generically * Understand and program basic machine learning apps

Understand, design, and create cognitive applications using Watson's suite of APIs. Key Features Develop your skills and work with IBM Watson APIs to build efficient and powerful cognitive apps Learn how to build smart apps to carry out different sets of activities using real-world use cases Get well versed with the best practices of IBM Watson and implement them in your daily work Book DescriptionCognitive computing is rapidly infusing every aspect of our lives riding on three important fields: data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). It allows computing systems to learn and keep on improving as the amount of data in the system grows. This book introduces readers to a whole new paradigm of computing - a paradigm that is totally different from the conventional computing of the Information Age. You will learn the concepts of ML, deep learning (DL), neural networks, and AI through the set of APIs provided by IBM Watson. This book will help you build your own applications to understand, plan, and solve problems, and analyze them as per your needs. You will learn about various domains of cognitive computing, such as NLP, voice processing, computer vision, emotion analytics, and conversational systems, using different IBM Watson APIs. From this, the reader will learn what ML is, and what goes on in the background to make computers "do their magic," as well as where these concepts have been applied. Having achieved this, the readers will then be able to embark on their journey of learning, researching, and applying the concept in their respective fields. What you will learn Get well versed with the APIs provided by IBM Watson on IBM Cloud Learn ML, AI, cognitive computing, and neural network principles Implement smart applications in fields such as healthcare, entertainment, security, and more Understand unstructured content using cognitive metadata with the help of Natural Language Understanding Use Watson's APIs to create real-life applications to realize their capabilities Delve into various domains of cognitive computing, such as media analytics, embedded deep learning, computer vision, and more Who this book is forThis book is for beginners and novices; having some knowledge about artificial intelligence and deep learning is an advantage, but not a prerequisite to benefit from this book. We explain the concept of deep learning and artificial intelligence through the set of tools IBM Watson provides.

DESCRIPTION This book teaches young readers how to program using the Swift language while they develop iOS apps. Readers gain fundamental programming skills along the way. Hello Swift! is a how-to guide to programming iOS apps with the Swift language, written from a kid's perspective. This approachable, wellillustrated, step-by-step guide takes readers from very beginning programming concepts through creating complete apps. It begins by teaching the basics of what an app is and what is needed to build one. From there, readers will create their first simple app while learning more about programming with Swift. Readers conquer important programming concepts that can be used with other programming languages. KEY FEATURES * Crystal-clear explanations * Engaging images and straightforward examples * Hands-on lessons * Exercises that encourage critical thinking * Practical instructions for building and deploying apps on the App Store AUDIENCE While written with a younger audience in mind, this book is for readers of any age with no programming experience who want to enjoy learning to program while creating iOS apps. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Swift is Apple's new robust and intuitive programming language for iOS. It's free and open source and can be used to build apps for iOS, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch.
