Subtitled "A Hands-On Guide to Machine Learning with R", this book uses real datasets and practical examples to help the reader develop an understanding of how and why ML methods work, without the need for advanced math. Norman Matloff shows how to implement a range of ML techniques, starting with the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) method and random forests, and moving on to gradient boosting, support vector machines (SVMs) and neural networks.

Subtitled "Crime and Cryptocurrencies from the Dark Web to DeFi and Beyond", in this book anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing expert David Carlisle delivers a breakdown of the impact of crime on the world of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Tracking the history and evolution of crypto crime from the rise of the Dark Web to the present day, Carlisle recounts how an increasingly complex money laundering ecosystem has taken root in the crypto space.

This book shows how to put the Raspberry Pi to good use in IoT by combining expertise in electronics and programming.  Harry Fairhead shows how to work directly with the hardware using the Raspberry Pi's GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) to connect with off-the-shelf sensors. This 3rd Edition was prompted by the arrival of the Pi 5, and the book looks at getting started with an IoT project with the Pi 5, the use of the Linux GPIO driver, and accessing the Pi 5’s registers directly. The Pi Zero 2W is also covered for the first time, looking at how this much faster, quad-core, version of the Pi Zero W is an excellent choice for IoT projects.

This book sets out to disprove the idea that concurrency is extremely challenging. James Cutajar uses the easy-to-grasp concurrency tools of the Go language to demonstrate principles and techniques, steadily teaching you the best practices of effective concurrency. The book looks at universal principles of concurrency, along with how to use them for a performance boost in your Go applications. Techniques learned in this book can be applied to other languages.

Mattel's Intellivision console rocketed into homes across the U.S. in the early 1980s and transformed video gaming. Jamie Lendino looks at how its arcade action and 16-bit system with the industry's first voice synthesis and controls unlike any other console were key to its success.

This recipe-based guide to Angular will help build up Angular expertise with a wide range of recipes across key tasks in web development and show how to build high-performance apps. In this second edition, Muhammad Ahsan Ayaz has updated the recipes, with added and improved recipes based on developer feedback and new challenges.

Fully updated for the current version of Java, Java SE 21, this guide shows, step by step, how to design, write, debug, run, and administer high-performance Java programs. Inside, authors Herbert Schildt and Dr. Danny Coward cover the entire Java language, including its syntax, keywords, and libraries.

Subtitled "The Art of Analyzing Hacked and Leaked Data", this  hands-on guide blends real-world techniques for researching large datasets with lessons on coding, data authentication, and digital security. Micah Lee spices all of this up with stories from the front lines of investigative journalism, and looks into exposed datasets from a wide array of sources: the FBI, the DHS, police intelligence agencies, extremist groups like the Oath Keepers, and even a Russian ransomware gang.

This book teaches algorithms and data structures. Using diagrams and fully annotated code samples in Javascript, Kirupa Chinnathambi starts with the basics and gradually goes deeper and broader into all the techniques needed to organize data. The author argues that efficient algorithms are needed now more than ever. Programming languages come and go, but the core of programming--algorithms and data structures--remains the same.

Fully updated for Android Studio Hedgehog (2023.1.1) and the new UI, this book shows how to develop Android-based applications using Java. Neil Smyth begins with the basics. An introduction to the architecture of Android is followed by an in-depth look at the design of Android applications and user interfaces using the Android Studio environment.

This book tells the story of the people and projects that inspired the invention of the world’s first successful peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Aaron van Wirdum tells how a diverse group of computer scientists, privacy activists, and heterodox economists tried to create a digital form of money that could operate independently of government control.

This book begins by exploring the fundamentals of Java, from its primitive data types through to loops and arrays before moving on to object-oriented programming (OOP). Dr. Seán Kennedy and Maaike van Putten look at key topics such as classes and objects, inheritance, interfaces and lambda expressions.
