The Windows 11 Field Guide is a full-length e-book about the latest version of Microsoft Windows, aimed at those users who will upgrade from Windows 10 or acquire Windows 11 with a new PC.

This book brings the fundamentals of R programming to you, using the same material developed as part of the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization. The skills taught in this book will lay the foundation for you to begin your journey learning data science. Printed copies of this book are available through Lulu.

Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

This book aims to be the comprehensive manual for type-level programming. It's about getting you from here to there---from a competent Haskell programmer to one who convinces the compiler to do their work for them.

This book describes the process of analyzing data. The authors have extensive experience both managing data analysts and conducting their own data analyses, and this book is a distillation of their experience in a format that is applicable to both practitioners and managers in data science. Printed copies are available through Lulu.

This is the story of Microsoft Windows, but told in a different way and from a different perspective. It is the story of the aspirations that Microsoft had for the platform over time. Object-Oriented Programming in the era of “Cairo.” The brief moment when the .NET craze engulfed the company. The touch-first mania of Windows 8. And so much more.

En el manual expongo, de forma clara y sencilla, los conceptos básicos de un análisis exploratorio de datos a nivel descriptivo y cómo llevarlo a la práctica con el software estadístico R y datos reales. El libro está pensado para que el lector avance paso a paso en su proceso de auto-aprendizaje, por lo que se proporcionan muchos ejemplos.

The official companion of Finding Hidden Messages in DNA, the popular first course in Coursera's Bioinformatics sequence. Learn how biologists have begun to decipher the strange and wonderful language of DNA without needing to put on a lab coat. This book contains the first two chapters from Volume 1 of Bioinformatics Algorithms: An Active Learning Approach.

A pattern language for event sourced applications and reliable distributed systems. Examples are written in the Python programming language. Now includes event-oriented introductions to the pattern language scheme of Christopher Alexander, the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and the person-centred psychology of Rogers and Rosenberg.

This book gives a brief, but rigorous, treatment of statistical inference intended for practicing Data Scientists.

This book teaches you to use R to effectively visualize and explore complex datasets. Exploratory data analysis is a key part of the data science process because it allows you to sharpen your question and refine your modeling strategies. This book is based on the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization.

Google engineers are regular expression masters. Do you want to become one, too? The Smartest Way to Learn Python Regex transforms you into a regular expression master. The book leverages an innovative learning approach: (1) read a chapter, (2) watch a course video, and (3) solve a code puzzle. It's fun!

This book teaches the fundamental concepts and tools behind reporting modern data analyses in a reproducible manner. As data analyses become increasingly complex, the need for clear and reproducible report writing is greater than ever. The material for this book was developed as part of the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization. Printed versions are available through Lulu (see link below).
