Introduction to Video Game Engine Development
Start your video game development journey by learning how to build a 2D game engine from scratch. Using Java (with NetBeans as your IDE and using Java's graphics framework) or by following along in C# (with Visual Studio as your IDE and using the MonoGame framework), you'll cover the design and implementation of a 2D game engine in detail. Each class will be reviewed with demonstration code. You'll gain experience using the engine by building a game from the ground up. Introduction to Video Game Engine Development reviews the design and implementation of a 2D game engine in three parts. Part 1 covers the low-level API class by class. You'll see how to abstract lower-level functionality and design a set of classes that interact seamlessly with each other. You'll learn how to draw objects, play sounds, render text, and more. In Part 2, you'll review the mid-level API that is responsible for drawing the game, loading resources, and managing user input. Lastly, in Part 3, you'll build a game from the ground up following a step-by-step process using the 2D game engine you just reviewed. On completing this book, you'll have a solid foundation in video game engine design and implementation. You'll also get exposure to building games from scratch, creating the solid foundation you'll need to work with more advanced game engines, and industry tools, that require learning complex software, APIs, and IDEs. What You Will Learn Gain experience with lower-level game engine APIs and abstracting framework functionalityWrite application-level APIs: launching the game, loading resources, settings, processing input, and more Discover cross-platform APIs in the game engine projects written in both Java and C#/MonoGame Develop games with an SDK-based game engine and simplified tool chain focused on direct control of the game through codeMaster creating games by using the game engine to build a game from the ground up with only code and an IDE Who This Book Is For Those of you out there with some programming experience, moderate to advanced, who want to learn how to write video games using modern game engine designs.
Demystifying AI for the Enterprise
Artificial intelligence (AI) in its various forms -- machine learning, chatbots, robots, agents, etc. -- is increasingly being seen as a core component of enterprise business workflow and information management systems. The current promise and hype around AI are being driven by software vendors, academic research projects, and startups. However, we posit that the greatest promise and potential for AI lies in the enterprise with its applications touching all organizational facets. With increasing business process and workflow maturity, coupled with recent trends in cloud computing, datafication, IoT, cybersecurity, and advanced analytics, there is an understanding that the challenges of tomorrow cannot be solely addressed by today's people, processes, and products. There is still considerable mystery, hype, and fear about AI in today's world. A considerable amount of current discourse focuses on a dystopian future that could adversely affect humanity. Such opinions, with understandable fear of the unknown, don't consider the history of human innovation, the current state of business and technology, or the primarily augmentative nature of tomorrow's AI. This book demystifies AI for the enterprise. It takes readers from the basics (definitions, state-of-the-art, etc.) to a multi-industry journey, and concludes with expert advice on everything an organization must do to succeed. Along the way, we debunk myths, provide practical pointers, and include best practices with applicable vignettes. AI brings to enterprise the capabilities that promise new ways by which professionals can address both mundane and interesting challenges more efficiently, effectively, and collaboratively (with humans). The opportunity for tomorrow's enterprise is to augment existing teams and resources with the power of AI in order to gain competitive advantage, discover new business models, establish or optimize new revenues, and achieve better customer and user satisfaction.

JMP for Mixed Models
Discover the power of mixed models with JMP and JMP Pro. Mixed models are now the mainstream method of choice for analyzing experimental data. Why? They are arguably the most straightforward and powerful way to handle correlated observations in designed experiments. Reaching well beyond standard linear models, mixed models enable you to make accurate and precise inferences about your experiments and to gain deeper understanding of sources of signal and noise in the system under study. Well-formed fixed and random effects generalize well and help you make the best data-driven decisions. JMP for Mixed Models brings together two of the strongest traditions in SAS software: mixed models and JMP. JMP's groundbreaking philosophy of tight integration of statistics with dynamic graphics is an ideal milieu within which to learn and apply mixed models, also known as hierarchical linear or multilevel models. If you are a scientist or engineer, the methods described herein can revolutionize how you analyze experimental data without the need to write code. Inside you'll find a rich collection of examples and a step-by-step approach to mixed model mastery. Topics include: Learning how to appropriately recognize, set up, and interpret fixed and random effects Extending analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression to numerous mixed model designs Understanding how degrees of freedom work using Skeleton ANOVA Analyzing randomized block, split-plot, longitudinal, and repeated measures designs Introducing more advanced methods such as spatial covariance and generalized linear mixed models Simulating mixed models to assess power and other important sampling characteristics Providing a solid framework for understanding statistical modeling in general Improving perspective on modern dilemmas around Bayesian methods, p-values, and causal inference

NX 2021 For Beginners
NX For Beginners introduces you to the basics of NX by using step-by-step instructions. You begin with a brief introduction to NX and the User Interface, ribbon, environments, commands, and various options. Within a short time, you will learn to create 2D sketches that form the basis for 3D models. You will learn to sketch on three different planes (Front, Top and Right planes). You will use various sketching tools such as line, rectangle, and circle. You will also learn to modify sketches using tools such as trim, extend, and fillet. Learn to use geometric constraints and dimensions to achieve a definite shape and size of the sketch. You convert the sketches into 3D features such as Extrude and Revolve. You combine or subtract features to achieve the final part. You can also add placed features (sketch fewer features) such as Fillets and Holes to the 3D geometry. You explore mirroring and patterning commands to create repetitive features.You will learn to use some additional modeling tools and work with multi-body parts. Learn to modify part geometry by editing sketches and feature parameters. You explore Synchronous Modeling tools to change the Part geometry by modifying its faces. You build assemblies after creating parts. There are two methods to build assemblies: Bottom-up and Top-down. In the Bottom-up approach, you bring all the components together and add constraints between them. In the Top-down approach, you create parts at the assembly level. You explode assemblies to show how they were assembled. You create Drawings of the parts and assemblies. You insert part views and add dimensions and annotations to complete the drawing. In the case of assembly drawings, you insert assembly views, add Bill of Materials, Balloons, and Revision table. The Sheet Metal design chapter covers various tools used to build sheet metal parts from scratch. You will also learn to convert an existing part geometry into a sheet metal part. You also create flat patterns and 2D sheet metal drawings. The Surface design chapter covers the surface modeling tools that are used to create complex shapes. The NX Realize Shape chapter covers the freeform modeling tools. Table of Contents1. Getting Started with NX2. Sketch Techniques3. Extrude and Revolve Features4. Placed Features5.
