As venture capital and industrial resources are increasingly poured into rapid advances in artificial intelligence, the actual usage and success of AI depends on a satisfactory experience for the user. UX will play a significant role in the adoption of AI technologies across markets, and AI and UX explores just what these demands will entail. Great effort has been put forth to continuously make AI "smarter." But, will smarter always equal more successful AI? It is not just about getting a product to market, but about getting the product into a user''s hands in a form that will be embraced. This demands examining the product from the perspective of the user. Authors Gavin Lew and Robert Schumacher have written AI and UX to examine just how product managers and designers can best strike this balance. From exploring the history of the parallel journeys of AI and UX, to investigating past product examples and failures, to practical expert knowledge on how to best execute a positive user experience, AI and UX examines all angles of how AI can best be developed within a UX framework.

Introducing Microsoft Orleans - Thomas Nelson - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Introducing Microsoft Orleans - Thomas Nelson - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Welcome to Orleans, a virtual actor framework from Microsoft that allows a single developer to create immensely scalable, available applications while maintaining a high throughput. This guide is designed to give you a foundational understanding of Orleans, an overview of its implementations, and plenty of hands-on coding experience. Side-by-side monolithic and microservice patterns alongside Orleans' framework features are also discussed, to help readers without an actor model background understand how they can enhance applications. Author Nelson’s approach is to introduce patterns as needed for business requirements, including monolithic microservices and to convert monolithic to microservices, in order to keep a microservice from growing into a monolithic application. Orleans is a good choice for either of these scenarios as the next step to build your backend services and reduce unnecessary orchestration, overhead, and tooling. The Orleans framework was designed to handle tedious overhead, allowing the developer to focus on the solution. You will learn how Orleans can support billions of virtually parallel transactions while sustaining low latency and high availability. In addition, you will glimpse under the hood at Orleans to discover its useful attributes. All key learning points include hands-on coding examples to reinforce understanding. This book goes beyond what Orleans is to explain where it fits within the realm of development. You will gain an in-depth understanding to build a foundation for future growth. What You Will LearnUnderstand how Orleans can benefit your monolithic and/or microservice applicationsGain a brief overview of actor models and how they relate to OrleansObserve the design patterns and how Orleans can simplify or reduce tooling requirementsKnow the pros and cons of microservices and Orleans to determine the best course of action based on the needs of an applicationDiscover Orleans' design patterns and practices, including life cycle, messaging guarantees, cluster management, streams, load balancing, and moreBuild your first Orleans' application; build base knowledge of application structure, unit testing, dashboard, scheduled eventsWho This Book Is ForThis book is for developers.

Understanding Semiconductors - Corey Richard - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Gain complete understanding of electronic systems and their constituent parts. From the origins of the semiconductor industry right up until today, this book serves as a technical primer to semiconductor technology. Spanning design and manufacturing to the basic physics of electricity, it provides a comprehensive base of understanding from transistor to iPhone. Melding an accessible, conversational style with over 100 diagrams and illustrations, Understanding Semiconductors provides clear explanations of technical concepts going deep enough to fully explain key vernacular, mechanisms, and basic processes, without getting lost in the supporting theories or the theories that support the supporting theories. Concepts are tethered to the real world with crisp analysis of industry dynamics and future trends. As a break from the straight-ahead scientific concepts that keep the world of semiconductors spinning, Understanding Semiconductors is liberally sprinkled with apt analogies that elucidate difficult concepts. For example, when describing the relationship between voltage, current, power, and the flow of electricity through an electronic system, the book draws a parallel to a hot shower and the water utility system. Most of these are paired with clear visuals, giving you the best chance possible to absorb the concept at hand before moving on to the next topic. Whether you''re narrowly technical or don''t know silicon from silly putty, working directly in hardware technologies and want to know more, or simply a curious person seeking hard information about the technology that powers the modern world, Understanding Semiconductors will be an informative, dependable resource. What You''ll Learn: - Charge, Electricity, and Basic Physics - What are Semiconductors - The Semiconductor Value Chain and Design Trade-Offs - Transistors and Other Common Circuit Building Blocks - Semiconductor Design from Concept to Tapeout - Wafer Fabrication and Semiconductor Manufacturing Process - Integrated Circuit (IC) Packaging and Signal & Power Integrity (SIPI) - Common Circuits and System Components - RF and Wireless Technologies - System Architecture and Integration - The Semiconductor Industry - Challenges, History, and Trends - The Future of Semiconductors and Electronic Systems Who This Book Is For: People working directly in the semiconductor, electronics, and hardware technologies fields or in supporting industries, hobbyists and new electrical engineering enthusiasts with minimal technical experience or pre-existing qualifications, and curious individuals interested in learning more about a fascinating area of technology.
