This book, The Crystal Ball Instruction Manual: Volume Two, Foundations for Data Science, continues the series. The author, Stephen Davies, explains that the first volume was titled "Introduction to Data Science" because it provided an initial, broad tour of the field. He notes that the reader's continued interest indicates a readiness to explore t

Stephen Davies notes that if this marks the reader's first exposure to data science, they occupy an enviable position, with all the "cool stuff" still ahead of them. He expresses a sense of jealousy but also excitement to explore the field again with the reader. The text states that this field has changed the world on an incredibly short time scale

More than half of the analytics and machine learning (ML) models created by organizations today never make it into production. Some of the challenges and barriers to operationalization are technical, but others are organizational. Either way, the bottom line is that models not in production can't provide business impact. This book introduces the ke

Today's data engineering teams are overwhelmed - juggling fire drills and endless requests while relying on manual, repetitive processes for building data pipelines. This much-needed tech guide from author Josh Hall introduces a practical approach to streamlining pipeline development, empowering teams to work smarter, not harder. Using Coalesce, a

Fully updated for Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and 2 W, this book gets you started with Raspberry Pi Pico - whether you're using Raspberry Pi Pico for a home project, industrial automation, or learning (or teaching!) electronics and programming. Microcontrollers, like the RP2350 chip at the heart of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, are computers stripped back to their

The author notes that in 2019, Wi-Fi technology celebrated its 20th birthday, and it is hard to believe it has been around for 22 years. The text explains that beginning in 2021, Wi-Fi is making a massive leap into the 6 GHz frequency band. The book describes how previous generations of Wi-Fi focused on increasing data rates and speed, while Wi-Fi

This book positions the enterprise wide-area network (WAN) as a critical, yet often overlooked, foundation for successful digital transformation. The author argues that while technologies like cloud and mobile receive significant attention, a legacy WAN can derail transformation initiatives. The text makes the case for a new, cloud-first WAN archit
