    Abstract: Gain actionable insights from qualitative remote studies to improve user experience Key Features Understand the different usability testing methodologies and their strengths and weaknesses Master the execution of remote studies Learn how to analyze and present study results Book Description Usability testing is a subdiscipline of User Experience. Its goal is to ensure that a given product is easy to use and the user's experience with the product is intuitive and satisfying. Usability studies are conducted with study participants who are representative of the target users to gather feedback on a user interface. The feedback is then used to refine and improve the user interface. Remote studies involve fewer logistics, allow participation regardless of location and are quicker and cheaper to execute compared to in person studies, while delivering valuable insights. The users are not inhibited by being in a new environment under observation; they can act naturally in their familiar environment. Remote unmoderated studies additionally have the advantage of being independent of time zones. This book will teach you how to conduct qualitative remote usability studies, in particular remote moderated and unmoderated studies. Each chapter provides actionable tips on how to use each methodology and how to compensate for the specific nature of each methodology. The book also provides material to help with planning and executing each study type. What you will learn Choose the most suitable remote study methodology Establish a clear goal for the study Plan the study execution Understand recruitment logistics, expectations and compensation Set up and moderate remote studies Write good tasks and questions for each methodology Analyze and document the study results Deliver results that align with the goal for the study Who this book is for This book is for user experience (UX) professionals familiar with traditional in-person usability testing methodologies, or for UX designers with no prior exposure to user research and usability testing. Customer experience professionals or product managers who want to understand remote usability testing will also find this book useful. No knowledge of remote usability testing is needed.

    Abstract: Skip the theory and get the most out of Tensorflow to build production-ready machine learning models Key Features Exploit the features of Tensorflow to build and deploy machine learning models Train neural networks to tackle real-world problems in Computer Vision and NLP Handy techniques to write production-ready code for your Tensorflow models Book Description TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and allow you to dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. With the help of this book, you will work with recipes for training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and more. You will explore RNNs, CNNs, GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule networks, each using Google's machine learning library, TensorFlow. Through real-world examples, you will get hands-on experience with linear regression techniques with TensorFlow. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, you will be shown how to take it to production. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in the field of machine intelligence using TensorFlow. You will also have good insight into deep learning and be capable of implementing machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios. What you will learn Become familiar with the basic features of the TensorFlow library Get to know Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow Learn SVMs with hands-on recipes Implement neural networks to improve predictive modeling Apply NLP and sentiment analysis to your data Master CNN and RNN through practical recipes Implement the gradient boosted random forest to predict housing prices Take TensorFlow into production Who this book is for If you are a data scientist or a machine learning engineer with some knowledge of linear algebra, statistics, and machine learning, this book is for you. If you want to skip the theory and build production-ready machine learning models using Tensorflow without reading pages and pages of material, this book is for you. Some background in Python programming is assumed.

    Abstract: Get a solid understanding of Java fundamentals to master programming through a series of practical steps About This Book Enjoy your first step into the world of programming Understand what a language is and use its features to build applications Learn about a wide variety of programming applications Who This Book Is For Introduction to Programming is for anybody who wants to learn programming. All you'll need is a computer, internet connection, and a cup of coffee. What You Will Learn Understand what Java is Install Java and learn how to run it Write and execute a Java program Write and execute the test for your program Install components and confgure your development environment Learn and use Java language fundamentals Learn object-oriented design principles Master the frequently used Java constructs In Detail Have you ever thought about making your computer do what you want it to do? Do you want to learn to program, but just don't know where to start? Instead of guiding you in the right direction, have other learning resources got you confused with over-explanations? Don't worry. Look no further. Introduction to Programming is here to help. Written by an industry expert who understands the challenges faced by those from a non-programming background, this book takes a gentle, hand-holding approach to introducing you to the world of programming. Beginning with an introduction to what programming is, you'll go on to learn about languages, their syntax, and development environments. With plenty of examples for you to code alongside reading, the book's practical approach will help you to grasp everything it has to offer. More importantly, you'll understand several aspects of application development. As a result, you'll have your very own application running by the end of the book. To help you comprehensively understand Java programming, there are exercises at the end of each chapter to keep things interesting and encourage you to add your own personal touch to the code and, ultimately, your application. Style and approach This step-by-step guide will familiarize you with programming using some practical examples.
