Data science and machine learningtwo of the world's hottest fieldsare attracting talent from a wide variety of technical, business, and liberal arts disciplines. Python, the world's #1 programming language, is also the most popular language for data science and machine learning. This is the first guide specifically designed to help students with widely diverse backgrounds learn foundational Python so they can use it for data science and machine learning. This book is catered to introductory-level college courses on data science. Leading data science instructor and practitioner Kennedy Behrman first walks through the process of learning to code for the first time with Python and Jupyter notebook, then introduces key libraries every Python data science programmer needs to master. Once students have learned these foundations, Behrman introduces intermediate and applied Python techniques for real-world problem-solving. Throughout, Foundational Python for Data Science presents hands-on exercises, learning assessments, case studies, and moreall created with Colab (Jupyter compatible) notebooks, so students can execute all coding examples interactively without installing or configuring any software.

Many cloud computing initiatives flat-out fail; others limp along, functioning tolerably without ever delivering what they promised. An Insiders Guide to Cloud Computing reveals why and shows how to do better. Cloud pioneer and long-time CTO David Linthicum explodes the industrys secrets and presents practical ways to optimize cloud for value and performance. Linthicum takes a hard look at aggressively marketed technologies such as cloud-based AI, containers, no-code, serverless computing, and multicloud. He illuminates what works, what absolutely does not work, and how to manage the difficult cost-complexity tradeoffs presented by many offerings. Youll learn why some workloads and datasets still dont belong on the cloud, and even discover game changer technology that has actually been undersold. Linthicums seen it all: the tricks providers play to make their numbers at customers' expenserealities whispered about in conference rooms and spilled over drinks at conferencesfacts and techniques you simply must know to deliver value-optimized solutions. An Insiders Guide to Cloud Computing is for every technical and business decision-maker responsible for evaluating, planning, implementing, operating, or optimizing cloud systems. It offers exceptional value to professionals ranging from solution architects to cloud engineers, CTOs to enterprise consultants, or those just getting started on their cloud computing journey. What cloud providers dont tell you about their storage and compute services Cloud-based artificial intelligence and machine learning: What are you actually paying for? Containers, Kubernetes, and cloud-native development: truth versus hype Multicloud: Which approaches actually save you money? Real-world cloud security: beyond silos, black boxes, and out-of-control complexity Cloud computing, carbon footprints, and sustainability: reality versus fiction The crucial role of talent: how to identify, find, and keep the skills you need How cloud computing is changing--and how to prepare for whats coming
