Unleash the capabilities of Power Virtual Agents to provide actionable insights to your customers and employees using automated chatbot solutions

If you’re starting from scratch, every time you will write a code, you’re going to be mesmerized. It will keep pushing you constantly to dive even further into it. And believe it or not, only then will you realize that you are able to do more, to manipulate the coding
and to transform it as you please. The point is, you will see yourself improving as this training progresses. All you will have to do is to always take the next step and your progress will astonish you. You will be amazed how easy and reachable this art of technology is! What you certainly must know is that when it comes to Python there is no experience required. So if you have never wrote a line of code, this is the perfect place to start. What makes this book completely different from the other guides is that it accompanies you through every step you take from the very first start and guides you gently throughout all the basics.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and data mining is the fastest growing field in computer science. AI and data mining algorithms and techniques are found to be useful in different areas like pattern recognition, automatic threat detection, automatic problem solving, visual recognition, fraud detection, detecting developmental delay in children, and many other applications. However, applying AI and data mining techniques or algorithms successfully in these areas needs a concerted effort, fostering integrative research between experts ranging from diverse disciplines from data science to Artificial Intelligence. Successful application of security frameworks to enable meaningful, cost effective, personalize security service is a primary aim of engineers and researchers today.  However realizing this goal requires effective understanding, application and amalgamation of AI and Data Mining and several other computing technologies to deploy such system in an effective manner.

The Language of SQL, Second Edition
Many SQL texts attempt to serve as an encyclopedic reference on SQL syntax -- an approach that is often counterproductive, because that information is readily available in online references published by the major database vendors.

Customer experience engineering applied to the engineering department is rare, but needed. Most companies keep support, UX, engineering, product, and CX separate. To address this gap, this book highlights roles and techniques that are proven to accelerate issue detection and prevention by 30% or more.

This book provides details about evolution in radio networks, use-cases, and economic value. It covers fundamentals of wireless communication like modulation, frequency band, beamforming, virtualization, etc. It also covers different radio network evolution from centralized RAN to Open RAN. This book covers how data communication over fronthaul and backhaul network interface to provide better flexibility and bandwidth. It gives a comprehensive overview of interface protocols like CPRI, eCPRI, and JESD204. Time Sensitive Networking for fronthaul is used in critical services with low latency requirements, so details of protocol Precision time Protocol (PTP) and Frame Preemption is covered in the details.

Do you want to understand how blockchain can enable faster and more cost-efficient delivery of your favorite fruit?
Imagine being a developer in a fruit industry and being tasked with brainstorming and presenting a proof of concept of how your supply chain can increase productivity and efficiency with greater visibility. As an organization, that would be an easy task to accomplish, but as a developer you are not able to push organizational change as fast as you were able to program. In that case, developing a program or smart contract that will execute tasks automatically and provide insight into the supply chain effortlessly is the best solution. Blockchain is a great tool to use in organizations that need faster speed and better control of data while not compromising security and privacy. Also, it provides a new and dynamic means of organizing tracking data and putting it to use.

AI is nothing without somewhere to run it. Now that mobile devices have become the primary computing device for most people, it's essential that mobile developers add AI to their toolbox. This insightful book is your guide to creating and running models on popular mobile platforms such as iOS and Android.

Many companies claim to have "gone to the cloud," yet returns from their efforts are meager or worse. Why? Because they've defined cloud as a destination, not a capability. Using cloud as a single-vendor, one-stop destination is fiction; in practice, today's organizations use a mosaic of capabilities across several vendors. Your cloud strategy needs to follow a hybrid multicloud model, one that delivers cloud's value at destinations you choose.
