As part of the best-selling PocketPrimer series, this book is designed to prepare programmersfor machine learning and deep learning/TensorFlow topics. It begins with aquick introduction to Python, followed by chapters that discuss NumPy, Pandas,Matplotlib, and scikit-learn. The final two chapters contain an assortment ofTensorFlow 1.x code samples, including detailed code samples for TensorFlowDataset (which is used heavily in TensorFlow 2 as well). A TensorFlow Datasetrefers to the classes in the tf.data.Dataset namespace that enables programmersto construct a pipeline of data by means of method chaining so-called lazyoperators, e.g., map(), filter(), batch(), and so forth, based on data from oneor more data sources.
