My 5th book is out: The Art of Sense: A Philosophy of Modern AI

Image
I wrote my 5th book! The Art of Sense: A Philosophy of Modern AI - take a look here . This book is free; it's me giving back. I hope you like it. It's my second git book; the first git book was SAL . AI is one of my new passions; this book will help you in your journey. If you are not a data scientist, this could be a good starting point. If you are already a scientist, it could be a chance to learn something new from someone with an architecture/engineering background. You don't need to be a data scientist to do AI, especially in engineering nowadays. So even if you are a scientist or a researcher, this book might give you food for thought. This book is Free.

Elegant Objects

Elegant Objects is a book written by Yegor Bugayenko  published in 2020. This book call my attention immediately. I've been working with software for +20 years, and in the past, there were many more Object Oriented books(Head First, Design Patterns, Effective Java, and many more), so the very first thing that call my attention was that "WOW feeling" I thought: "OH! An OOP Design Book was written in 2020?" I need to check this out.  Disclaimer : This is not a Rant. This is not a severe critique of the book; this is my toughs. I highly recommend you buy the book and have your own thoughts. I'm avoiding putting code samples here to keep you curious and read the book and also respect the author's work. Maybe read this post again after you finish reading the book. Maybe create your own blog and share your ideas. The book is well-written, concise and goes straight to the point. I saw a commentary on Amazon from a guy complaining that the book is too opinionat...

My first book: Building Applications with Scala

Image
Dear reader, you might miss my post on the last 7 months. I was not posting with the same frequency I was doing before. The reason why it happened is because I was written a book about Scala. I'm here to announce my very first book about building Scala application. The book goes for the basic principle of functional and reactive programming to the most advance scala language ecosystem solutions such as Play Framework, Akka Framework, RxScala and much more.  I hope you enjoy the book and hope this book could help you in your career building scalable and modern scale applications. You can buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Building-applications-Scala-Diego-Pacheco/dp/178646148X Cheers, Diego Pacheco
