    For each problem that a programmer wants to solve, they employ an algorithm: a sequence of steps for solving the problem. Many books teach algorithms independently of specific problems, but this book uses careful explanations, examples, and arguments, rather than formal mathematics and proofs which make it difficult for the reader to connect what they are learning to what they can do with that learning. Algorithmic Thinking: A Problem-Based Introduction teaches the reader to use the best algorithms and data structures for a given situation by walking them through solving real-world problems pulled from international programming competitions, such as how to determine whether snowflakes are unique; how to win a game in the minimum number of moves; how to find the number of ways to get to someone's house; how to escape a cave in as few steps as possible; and so on.Readers tackle challenging topics like recursion, dynamic programming, graphs, greedy algorithms, heaps, hash tables, segment trees, and other data structures for efficiently handling data. The book contains no pseudocode: all code is written in C and is thoroughly explained in the text (C is a de facto programming language for programming competitions). Zingaro also shows how several problems can be reduced to algorithms on graphs. By the end of the book, readers should understand the importance of modeling, how to carefully work through a problem, and why it pays to organize data using data structures.

    But as the world of business becomes more interconnected and global, enterprise data is no long a monolith; it is just a part of a vast web of data. Managing data on a world-wide scale is a key capability for any business today.The Semantic Web treats data as a distributed resource on the scale of the World Wide Web, and incorporates features to address the challenges of massive data distribution as part of its basic design. The aim of the first two editions was to motivate the Semantic Web technology stack from end-to-end; to describe not only what the Semantic Web standards are and how they work, but also what their goals are and why they were designed as they are. It tells a coherent story from beginning to end of how the standards work to manage a world-wide distributed web of knowledge in a meaningful way.The third edition builds on this foundation to bring Semantic Web practice to enterprise. Fabien Gandon joins Dean Allemang and Jim Hendler, bringing with him years of experience in global linked data, to open up the story to a modern view of global linked data. While the overall story is the same, the examples have been brought up to date and applied in a modern setting, where enterprise and global data come together as a living, linked network of data. Also included with the third edition, all of the data sets and queries are available online for study and experimentation at data.world/swwo.

    By learning how to build and deploy scalable model pipelines, data scientists can own more of the model production process and more rapidly deliver data products. This book provides a hands-on approach to scaling up Python code to work in distributed environments in order to build robust pipelines. Readers will learn how to set up machine learning models as web endpoints, serverless functions, and streaming pipelines using multiple cloud environments. It is intended for analytics practitioners with hands-on experience with Python libraries such as Pandas and scikit-learn, and will focus on scaling up prototype models to production. From startups to trillion dollar companies, data science is playing an important role in helping organizations maximize the value of their data. This book helps data scientists to level up their careers by taking ownership of data products with applied examples that demonstrate how to: Translate models developed on a laptop to scalable deployments in the cloud Develop end-to-end systems that automate data science workflows Own a data product from conception to production The accompanying Jupyter notebooks provide examples of scalable pipelines across multiple cloud environments, tools, and libraries (github.com/bgweber/DS_Production). Book Contents Here are the topics covered by Data Science in Production: Chapter 1: Introduction - This chapter will motivate the use of Python and discuss the discipline of applied data science, present the data sets, models, and cloud environments used throughout the book, and provide an overview of automated feature engineering. Chapter 2: Models as Web Endpoints - This chapter shows how to use web endpoints for consuming data and hosting machine learning models as endpoints using the Flask and Gunicorn libraries. We'll start with scikit-learn models and also set up a deep learning endpoint with Keras. Chapter 3: Models as Serverless Functions - This chapter will build upon the previous chapter and show how to set up model endpoints as serverless functions using AWS Lambda and GCP Cloud Functions. Chapter 4: Containers for Reproducible Models - This chapter will show how to use containers for deploying models with Docker. We'll also explore scaling up with ECS and Kubernetes, and building web applications with Plotly Dash. Chapter 5: Workflow Tools for Model Pipelines - This chapter focuses on scheduling automated workflows using Apache Airflow. We'll set up a model that pulls data from BigQuery, applies a model, and saves the results. Chapter 6: PySpark for Batch Modeling - This chapter will introduce readers to PySpark using the community edition of Databricks. We'll build a batch model pipeline that pulls data from a data lake, generates features, applies a model, and stores the results to a No SQL database. Chapter 7: Cloud Dataflow for Batch Modeling - This chapter will introduce the core components of Cloud Dataflow and implement a batch model pipeline for reading data from BigQuery, applying an ML model, and saving the results to Cloud Datastore. Chapter 8: Streaming Model Workflows - This chapter will introduce readers to Kafka and PubSub for streaming messages in a cloud environment.

    The internet would let any network speak to any other. It has since been described as many kinds of places to gather: a public square, a mall, a street, a garden, or utopia, which is another way of saying no (real) place at all.In this issue we explore shared standards and protocols that make possible new forms of civic life, ownership, aid, and their opposites, at the same time that they differentiate us ever more precisely. Online, you are unique like everybody else.
