Pre-orders are Now Open for Deep Learning on Windows

Pre-orders for my new book, Deep Learning on Windows, are Now Open at Amazon.com!

Deep Learning on Windows is my latest book, and it is the longest and the most comprehensive book I have written to date. The book is meant for both beginners and intermediates to deep learning. It covers topics from setting up your tools on Windows and getting started, to complex but fun topics in deep learning and computer vision.

The Windows OS accounts for over 70% of the desktop PC usage. Windows provides many conveniences, with a wide variety of available productivity tools, causing it to gather a large userbase. This means that there is a large percentage of you - AI enthusiasts and developers - out there that primarily work on the Windows OS, and would prefer to develop deep learning models on Windows itself.

Major Update on My New Book: Deep Learning on Windows

If you recall, I originally intended to incrementally release my new book - Deep Learning on Windows – and have it completed around the June/July timeframe. Well, the month of July came and went, but no book got released. I also was not posting articles in the blog frequently for the past couple of months.

This was due to a major change in the plan for the book.

Deep Learning on Windows was picked up by a publisher!

The book will now be published under Apress, and it became a much larger offering than what I initially envisioned.

The new cover for the book is shown below:

On late-May, while I was working on the first drafts of the book on LeanPub, I was contacted by Apress on whether I would be interested in publishing the book under Apress banner.

Book Update: First 3 Chapters are Now Released!

I'm excited to let you know that the first 3 Chapters of my new book - Deep Learning on Windows - is now released at LeanPub!

This is currently the only book focusing specifically on setting up and developing Deep Learning models on Microsoft Windows. As I mentioned in my earlier post, most of the queries and questions I have received over the past year or so were related to building deep learning models on the Windows OS, and how-to setup and troubleshoot the tools on it. There were very little material out there addressing Windows specifically.

So, this book is my answer to that.

A total of 12 chapters are planned for the book, covering topics from setting up your tools on Windows, building your first models, to some advanced topics like transfer learning, deploying your models, computer vision, generative adversarial networks, and reinforcement learning.

The book will be released in an incremental manner. The first 3 chapters are now released.
Buying the book now guarantees that you will get all the remaining content, and all future updates and revisions for free as they get released.

The price of the book will increase over time as new chapters gets added, so purchasing early gives you the best value.
