A Tour of C++ 2nd Ed (Addison Wesley)
Thursday, 16 August 2018

In this second edition of a classic, Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, describes what constitutes modern C++. This concise, self-contained guide covers most major language features and the major standard-library components at a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started. Stroustrup presents the C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C++17, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency.

Machine Learning Systems (Manning)
Wednesday, 15 August 2018

This book is an example-rich guide that teaches you how to implement reactive design solutions in your machine learning systems to make them as reliable as a well-built web app. Author Jeff Smith shows the principles of reactive design with examples including pipelines with Spark, highly scalable services with Akka, and how to use machine learning libraries like MLib on massive datasets. The examples use the Scala language, but the same ideas and tools work in Java, as well. The book is aimed at developers building production-grade ML applications that need quick response times, reliability, and good user experience.

Programmer's Guide To Kotlin (I/O Press)
Wednesday, 01 August 2018

Kotlin is attracting attention as "a better Java", especially since Google backed it as a language for Android development. In this book, some chapters of which you can read on this site, Mike James introduces Kotlin to programmers. You don't have to be an expert Java programmer or expert in any other language, but you need to know the basics of programming and using objects. This is the second printing of this book, with an improved layout, minor typos removed and all code double checked to ensure correctness.

The Ability Hacks (Independent)
Wednesday, 25 July 2018

This new book has been published for this year's Microsoft One Week Hackathon and copies of it will be given to participants. Authors Greg Shaw, Peter Lee and Jenny Lay-Flurrie share the behind-the-scenes stories of two teams from previous Microsoft Hackathons who came up with hacks-turned-solutions that are used today by people with disabilities around the world. The first team pioneered new software to revolutionize the mobility of tens of thousands of people who live with severe paralysis caused by ALS, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy and traumatic neurological injuries. The second team pioneered software to help kids with dyslexia read and love learning for the first time in their lives.
