<body><div>Hello all,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This past Thursday, a new person by the name of Corey came, looking for help with TensorFlow, and with an interest in AI in general. I stumbled across a very useful link to PacktPub : <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning?login=1">https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>They have many books on various niche topics in computing, and they have a selection of Python and AI books available for download, in addition to their deal-of-the-day<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This also reminded me of some other links I have been meaning to share for a while - every few months, some quant or AI person shows up at the dojo, and I found some cool stuff, but keep forgetting to share the linkage. SO, without further adieu : <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>How to Machine Learning, the Self-Starter Way - <a href="https://elitedatascience.com/learn-machine-learning">https://elitedatascience.com/learn-machine-learning</a> <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>From the same site, the Python/Sci-Kit Learn "Wine Snob Edition" of the tutorial : <a href="https://elitedatascience.com/python-machine-learning-tutorial-scikit-learn">https://elitedatascience.com/python-machine-learning-tutorial-scikit-learn</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository - <a href="http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.php">http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.php</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>10 Minutes to Pandas - from the official docs - <a href="https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/10min.html">https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/10min.html</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Here is an overview of Furby hacking. For all the right reasons - <a href="https://gizmodo.com/hackers-found-a-way-to-make-furbies-even-creepier-1756683110">https://gizmodo.com/hackers-found-a-way-to-make-furbies-even-creepier-1756683110</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The author of the book "Python for Finance" has a small consultancy, and a website with additional info : <a href="http://pythonquants.com/">http://pythonquants.com/</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>PonyORM - Python oriented database modeling and programming tool - <a href="https://ponyorm.com/">https://ponyorm.com/</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Murach Books - apparently, *the* source to learn Mainframe Programming. They have Java, HTTP/CSS/JS, and Python books, too.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Al Sweigart's page - he is a cool dude, I met him at the PyOhio sprints - <a href="http://inventwithpython.com/">http://inventwithpython.com/</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Green Tea Press - they publish the "Think Python" book through O'Reilly, but you can read it online for free - <a href="https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-2e/">https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-2e/</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>==================<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>Also, I have been helping out Brad with a project of his - it involves a GUI. We started with Toga but have had to drop down to *gasp* Tkinter<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Although this has not been updated since 2005, it oddly remains one of the most complete ways to learn the Pythonic way of Tkinter - <a href="http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/">http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Almost everything else presumes that you want to learn Tk, or are already familiar with Tk.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The only other thing that appears useful, is a self-published book Modern Tkinter for Busy Python Developers - Scribd link : <a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/166335433/Mark-Roseman-Modern-Tkinter-for-Busy-Python-Developers-2012">https://www.scribd.com/doc/166335433/Mark-Roseman-Modern-Tkinter-for-Busy-Python-Developers-2012</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Also on Amazon : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Tkinter-Python-Developers-ebook/dp/B0071QDNLO/">https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Tkinter-Python-Developers-ebook/dp/B0071QDNLO/</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Anyway, for all the time I kept saying I was going to send an email - well, this is that email.<br></div>
