Jump Start Vue.js (SitePoint)
Monday, 18 February 2019

This short book is ideal for front-end developers who need a rapid introduction to Vue.js. Author Nilson Jacques shows how the component-based architecture of Vue.js is designed to be flexible and easy to adopt, making it just as easy to integrate into projects and use alongside non-Vue code. If you've already used a component-based JavaScript framework such as React, you'll find this book an easy read, but it's also suitable for readers with no prior experience of such frameworks.

PyTorch Recipes (Apress)
Friday, 08 February 2019

This book starts with an introduction to PyTorch and tensors, the data structure used to calculate arithmetic operations. Author Pradeepta Mishra then looks at probability distributions using PyTorch, and dives into transformations and graph computations. Along the way the book covers common issues faced with neural network implementation and tensor differentiation. Moving on to algorithms it shows how PyTorch works with supervised and unsupervised algorithms, as well as how convolutional neural networks, deep neural networks, and recurrent neural networks work using it. The book concludes with natural language processing and text processing using PyTorch.
