Linux Command-Line Tips & Tricks
Linux Command-Line Tips & Tricks is a FULL-COLOUR hack collection for Linux command-line warriors. Because of shell's ancient history, BASH scripting has some odd programming constructs that are difficult to memorize. This book is a ready-reference for such archaic but crucial details. It is also at an advanced level. It assumes that you already know how to use the terminal and are adept at shell programming. It does not teach you the basics or try to be a comprehensive reference. It trusts your intuition and focuses on things that you are most likely to forget or be confused about. It devotes special attention to coding mistakes or unusual circumstances in which your script or command will fail. This is probably the only printed book to have syntax-highlighted code snippets in full colour.ChaptersTerminalShell ScriptingCaja Actions ConfigurationSystem AdministrationInternet TasksMultimedia TasksOffice TasksMiscellaneous Tips & TricksMost Linux books do a good job of describing expected behaviour. Very few of them focus on stuff that can go wrong. And, as everyone knows, if things can go wrong, they most likely will. Given that trillions of dollars of assets are managed by shell scripts, it is important to avoid all avoidable mistakes. That is why you need this book.

Learning Python
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python's elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python Web site.The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation. The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as an extension language for customizable applications. This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and features of the python language and system. It helps to have a Python interpreter handy for hands-on experience, but all examples are self contained, so the tutorial can be read off-line as well. For a description of standard objects and modules, see library-index. reference-index gives a more formal definition of the language. To write extensions in C or C++, read extending-index and c-api-index. There are also several books covering Python in depth. This tutorial does not attempt to be comprehensive and cover every single feature, or even every commonly used feature. Instead, it introduces many of Python's most noteworthy features, and will give you a good idea of the language's flavor and style. After reading it, you will be able to read and write Python modules and programs, and you will be ready to learn more about the various Python library modules described in library-index. The Glossary is also worth going through. This fast-paced, thorough introduction to programming with Python will have you writing programs, solving problems, and making things that work in no time.

Programming The Raspberry Pi Pico/W In C, Second Edition
There is a newer, third edition of this book covering the Pico 2 and Pico 2W ISBN-13: 978-1871962369Reviews of the first edition: "One of the best programming books on microcontroller programming I have, and I have many""Often, these sort of books are just a rehash of the manufacturer documentation. This was written in a very clear style by someone who has actually used the Pico and encountered some of the traps and pitfalls. I would highly recommend this to anyone contemplating writing applications for the Pico in C/C++.""As opposed to other books on the subject, this one goes deeply enough so that you can cover most aspects of what is discussed.""This book will be a true time saver however, and the task learning C for programming the Raspberry Pi Pico will seem a little less intimidating"The Raspberry Pi Pico is a remarkable microcontroller. It has a power and sophistication that would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. For the sort of jobs it is ideal for, it has plenty of processing power and enough memory to make tasks that would have once required careful planning, relatively easy. Instead of struggling with the machine, you can now focus on getting a good implementation of your algorithms. To enjoy all of its power and sophistication there is no better language than C. It wastes none of the power and it gives you what you need to get at the new features. However, getting started with the Pico with C is no easy feat, which is what motivated this book. Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico in C uses the highly popular VS Code as its development environment and shows how to use a Raspberry Pi or a desktop PC running Windows as your development machine. The purpose of the book is to reveal what you can do with the Pico's GPIO lines together with widely used sensors, servos and motors and ADCs. After covering the GPIO, outputs and inputs, events and interrupts, it gives you hands-on experience of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), the SPI bus, the I2C bus and the 1-Wire bus. One of the key advantages of the Pico is its PIO (Programmable I/O) and while this is an advanced feature it is introduced in this book. The original Pico lacked WiFi connectivity, a limitation overcome by the recent launch of the Pico W. You can think of as the Pico W as a superset of the original - everything you can do with an original Pico you can do with a Pico W, but not vice versa. A brand new chapter is dedicated to how to make use of the additional features of the Pico W including how to create a web client and a web server and any differences between the two versions are clearly indicated throughout the book. Harry Fairhead has a hardware background and, having worked with microprocessors and electronics in general, for many years, he is an enthusiastic proponent of the IoT and embedded computing. He is the author of two books intended for C programmers, Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine and Applying C For the IoT With Linux and four books on the using the Raspberry Pi in an IoT context, two using C and two using Python. He is now working on a Python version of this book for the Pico and on Master the Raspberry Pi Pico, which goes deeper into the PIO, the second core, using TLS/HTTPS and FreeRTOS, which is the next book you should read if you want to take Pico programming to the next level.

Python for Data Analysis
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DISCOVER THE SECRETS BEHIND PYTHON DATA SCINCE, THEN KEEP READING...Data analysis plays an important role in many aspects of life today. From the moment you wake up, you interact with data at different levels. A lot of important decisions are made based on data analytics. Companies need data to help them meet many of their goals. As the population of the world keeps growing, its customer base keeps expanding. In light of this, they must find ways of keeping their customers happy while at the same time meeting their business goals. Given the nature of competition in the business world, it is not easy to keep customers happy. Competitors keep preying on each other's customers, and those who win have another challenge ahead - how to maintain the customers lest they slide back to their former business partners. This is one area where Data Analysis comes in handy. This book covers: What is Data AnalysisPython Crash CourseData MungingWhy Data Preprocessing Is ImportantWhat is Data Wrangling?Inheritances to Clean Up the CodeReading and writing dataThe Different Types of Data We Can Work WithThe Importance of Data VisualizationIndexing and selecting arraysCommon Debugging ToolsNeural Network and What to Use for?And much more.To understand their customers better, companies rely on data. They collect all manner of data at each point of interaction with their customers. Data are useful in several ways. The companies learn more about their customers, thereafter clustering them according to their specific needs. Through such segmentation, the company can attend to the customers' needs better and hope to keep them satisfied for longer. But data analytics is not just about customers and the profit motive. It is also about governance. Governments are the biggest data consumers all over the world. They collect data about citizens, businesses, and every other entity that they interact with at any given point. This is important information because it helps in a lot of instances. For planning purposes, governments need accurate data on their population so that funds can be allocated accordingly. Equitable distribution of resources is something that cannot be achieved without proper Data Analysis. Other than planning, there is also the security angle. To protect the country, the government must maintain different databases for different reasons. There are high profile individuals who must be accorded special security detail, top threats who must be monitored at all times, and so forth. To meet the security objective, the government has to obtain and maintain updated data on persons of interest at all times. There is so much more to Data Analysis than the corporate and government decisions. As a programmer, you are venturing into an industry that is challenging and exciting at the same time. Data doesn't lie unless it is manipulated, in which case you need insane Data Analysis and handling skills. As a data analyst, you will come across many challenges and problems that need solutions that can only be handled through Data Analysis. The way you interact with data can make a big difference, bigger than you can imagine. Ready to get started? Click "Buy Now"!
