Data Engineering

PySpark from page one. Ten chapters that take a Python user who knows pandas and turn them into someone who can write, read, and debug production PySpark, without a three-chapter detour through distributed-computing theory.

The Polymorph Data Language (PDL) is a versatile, compact and fast alternative to JSON, YAML, XML and CSV. PDL supports streams of fields, objects, compact objects, cyclic object graphs, tabular data, table trees, and custom instructions. PDL supports this with a syntax that is simple to tokenize and parse and which gives good performance during tokenization and parsing. PDL's custom instructions can be used to implement a whole Scheme-like programming language, should you want to.

The future of robotics lies in adaptability — machines that learn from their surroundings and optimize their actions dynamically. With advances in quantum computing, neural hardware, and real-time AI systems, the mathematical models explored in this book will form the foundation for the next generation of intelligent machines.From autonomous drones to AI-driven robotic surgeons, the applications are endless, and all of them depend on the same universal principles — mathematics and intelligence.This book will help its readers not only understand these principles but also innovate upon them.

This book is written by a Raspberry Pi enthusiast, so, it could be hopefully interesting for other Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. Also, as it is about enterprise development, it can be eventually useful for any IT specialist dealing with enterprise applications and services.
