Coding Games

Summary

The Complete Three-Book Series on Coding Games  Book 1  Do you want a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to start making your first game? If your answer to this question is "yes", then this is the book for you. We’ll be going over every facet of game programming, ranging from how to set your expectations of what you're getting into, right up to creating the games themselves.  In this book you’ll discover.... How to program a vast variety of different game genres.  The most important game design elements crucial to your success.  How to use the Gosu library to make games in Ruby.  The best way to ensure your RPG Maker game is better than the rest.  A crash-course in Unity to kick start your professional career  This book won’t just teach you how to code. Rather, it’ll teach you the ins and outs of game design, so that you can make a game that’s actually fun and entertaining, rather than just a classroom project.  Book 2  Learning how to code properly sometimes can be very perplexing and needlessly complicated. Or even worse, boring.  Instead of actively learning new programs or exciting new applications of your code, you are forced to go through hundreds of boring texts, all filled with confusing texts and hopelessly mysterious symbols.  This wasn’t what you expected! Surely there must be a better way to learn how to program and make coding more fun!  And there is. There exists one simple solution, that, in one fell swoop, can transform learning how to code from an insanely boring experience to an entertaining pleasant journey. How you wonder?  By making the whole experience a game!  In this book, Coding Games, we will show you what coding is, its fundamental concepts, and how you can master the basic principles of coding through games.  For anyone tired of learning to code boringly, or just someone looking for a more fun way to attract their young ones into computer programming, this book will be quite an illuminating listen for you! Book3  This book's ideology is simple and straight-forward: equip the user with the most important concepts to catapult your game development skills. When looking for a good book that explains game programming, listeners are usually bombarded with information from the author without any context.  Often, code doesn’t make sense, hasn’t been explained properly, and the concepts the author tries to explain are unclear. The main reason for this is that authors, when writing technical books such as this, assume that the listener will have the context for every small detail they leave out and every major detail they choose to convey.  This book was written with particular care to keep the listener's perspective in mind instead of the author’s knowledge, because at the end of the day, the books' purpose is to teach you, rather than leave you disappointed. This book stays true to its purpose and builds upon the content discussed in the previous series. Even though listeners coming to the advanced level of game programming should be confident in their intermediate and basic level understanding of the topic, the chapters' content is careful not to leave anything ambiguous to the listener.

Who's Afraid of AI?

Summary

A penetrating guide to artificial intelligence: what it is, what it does, and how it will change our lives At a breathtaking pace, artificial intelligence is getting better and faster at making complex decisions. AI can already identify malignant tumors on CT scans, give legal advice, out-bluff the best poker players in the world, and, with ever-increasing skill, drive our cars. In Who’s Afraid of AI?, award-winning author Thomas Ramge expertly explains how machines are learning to learn, and he questions what today’s explosion of AI capability could mean for tomorrow: Is it ethical to allow robots - endlessly patient - to replace human caregivers in providing comfort and companionship to the elderly? Since AI feeds on big data, can we prevent its misuse by corporations or the government? Will AI ever be capable of runaway self-improvement? And if “the singularity” does arrive, with AI’s intelligence exponentially outpacing our own, what will become of us when, in many ways, we’re obsolete?

Deep Machine Learning

Summary

Are you interested in Machine Learning? Are you fascinated by how robots work? Are you ready to open up to the dynamics of technological change? Machine Learning has been approached in a definitive manner as a subset falling under a larger set of artificial intelligence. It majorly focuses on the aspect of learning of machines basing on the experience and predicting consequences and actions of the machines that revolve around their experience in the past. The field has made it easy for computers and machines to enact decisions that are data driven instead of explicit programming with regard to a particular task. The algorithms and programs are designed to enable machines and computers to learn by themselves. With time, they get to improve when there is an introduction of new and unique data. The learning process applies the use of training data that sustains the coming up of a model. Insertion of new data brings up predictions that are based on the model. This means that machines are given the capability to foretell on their own. The predictions are then examined closely to identify their accuracy. If accuracy receives positive feedback, then the machine learning algorithm is trained over and over again through the assistance of a data training augmented set. Machine learning tasks are broken into various wider categories. Supervised learning aims at coming up with a model that is mathematics of a data set with desired inputs and outputs. Semi-supervised learning aims at coming up with mathematical models from incomplete data training. You will realize that sample inputs miss expected/desired output in such a case. This audiobook will help you understand more about Deep Machine Learning. In the sections of this audiobook, you will be able to get important chapters that include: History of machine learning The benefits The challenges you may encounter Applications of machine learning Artificial intelligence Big data And much more! With such knowledge, you will be able to embrace technological advancements and be ready for the future. Get a copy of Deep Machine Learning today and get to discover the secrets into technology!

Computer Programming Javascript

Summary

If you want to learn the programming language that allows you to master the websites or if you want to improve your skills with this language, then keep listening. What is JavaScript?  JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language, which is lightweight and works in cross-platform such as Mack, Linux, or Windows. It is a scripting language created in 1995 by Netscape as a means of validating forms while offering interactive content for websites. The language has evolved over time with it being used by various web browsers.   Why should I study JavaScript?   You should study JavaScript because it is among the three fundamental languages every web developer must learn and understand. With HTML, you can define your web page contents whereas CSS allows you to identify your web page layout; however, with JavaScript, you can program the actions of these web pages.  JavaScript has changed the way things are done. Initially, after filling a form, one had to submit it to the server so that it could be checked for any anomalies. If anomalies were found, the server would return the form to the user in order to correct the details. With JavaScript, validation is done before the form can be submitted to the server. The user is able to know any errors done while filling the form and correct them accordingly. This has made things easy for users. This guide covers the following topics:  Use of a global variable as a cache  The basics of javascript function and scope  Loop constructs  An introduction to es6  Form  Iframe and multimedia  The document object model  Clauses  Operators, data types and other priorities  Document object model (dom)  Events (not the kind you celebrate)  A storing information in variables  Javascript essentials  Regular expressions  Basic data types of variables  The window object  Maps and sets  And more! "Is this the book for me?" Sure, it is. Because this guidebook is written with the intention to help both beginners and professionals to understand the programming language for the web more efficiently.  So now, scroll up and click the "Buy Now" button.

The Tree with Many Branches

Summary

Want to build an evolutionary tree? Here’s your chance to learn how.  The field of bioinformatics was born out of the need to manage, analyze, and examine raw genomic data in meaningful and exciting ways, such as the discipline of computational phylogenetics would provide.  The evolutionary inferences reached among the several peer-reviewed articles contained in this book are neither novel nor breakthrough. However, it is in the application of computational techniques, experiment design, and probabilistic models where this research finds a stronghold. As a matter of practicality, the original manuscripts have been edited for a broader audience due to its highly technical language.  The essays compiled in this audiobook have undergone a facelift, from the original scientific format into a more listener-friendly layout, so as to better accommodate two different perspectives - both experts and nonexperts alike.
