I'm a long-time Eclipse user, and still use Eclipse from time to time. But when it comes time to tell anyone which is the best IDE in the world, my answer is unambiguous!<br /><br />- In fact, <a href="http://programming-digressions.blogspot.com/2015/08/best-ide-in-world-intellij-idea-man-is.html?showComment=1504712143278#c7307685293914670959" rel="nofollow">feel free to also check out my response, elsewhere, to a reader</a> <b>who had a very cool comment on my essay on the subject of software tools and IDE(s)...</b><br /><br />- Oh, and finally, should you wish to stay on top of the nitty gritty of the Scala programming language, I highly recommend that you keep an eye on <a href="https://users.scala-lang.org/u/yawaramin" rel="nofollow">the responses of a fellow Scala expert</a> who is, in fact, <em>far</em> more active than even I am, in answering questions <b>(on the main international forum for Scala, at users.scala-lang.org).</b> <br /><br />- In the context of deep learning, I had something to add on picking up the Octave programming language (for scientific computing); I think I mentioned Octave in this essay (in the context of when I took the Andrew Ng <em>Machine Learning</em> Stanford / Coursera course)... <br /><br />- Meanwhile, am running out of that precious commodity: "Time"...<br /><br />- But my readers mean the world to me, and I do my best <b>to respond comprehensively</b>, time permitting, to your all's comments and questions - <a href="http://programming-digressions.blogspot.com/2017/09/best-deep-learning-books-foundational.html?showComment=1505764110591#c5603905037124543472" rel="nofollow">So as I said in a response, elsewhere, to a reader</a>, in the immortal catchphrase associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger, <b>"I'll be back" :)</b>sftwr2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/14201606904750701863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467360784939337729.post-39402064640948868232017-09-25T06:17:50.169-07:002017-09-25T06:17:50.169-07:00- Thanks for your comment and question, Francisco....- Thanks for your comment and question, Francisco. To your question, <b>"Is "Deep Learning: A Practitioner's Approach" easily translatable to Scala?":</b> Yes, the book by Patterson and Gibson—<em>Deep Learning: A Practitioner's Approach</em> (O'Reilly Media)—is eminently suited for translation to Scala, among other (target) programming languages. But, yes, easily translatable to Scala for sure, primarily because the example (Java) code is of high quality, especially in the area of readability! (YMMV) <br /><br />- It was very helpful that you shared how, <b>"I barely know Java bit I'm very comfortable with Scala. I do most of my work in Python but would like to use a statically typed language in production"</b>. That helps me answer your question better because I also know a thing or two about Python :)<br /><br />- In fact, <a href="https://users.scala-lang.org/u/AkramAhmad/activity" rel="nofollow">I answer Scala-related questions from readers, every now and then</a> (on the main international forum for Scala, at users.scala-lang.org). <b>It just so happens that, a little while ago,</b> I had answered a question from a reader (with a background quite similar to yours) who was wanting to learn more about getting proficient at Scala. <b>FWIW, here's part of my response in what I had answered the question on that forum</b> because I think it'll be helpful to you as well:<br /><br />"It just so happens that I've spent a fair amount of time writing Python code, and found it to be an incredibly productive language - For most of my development work, however, I use Java and Scala <b>since these languages are easier to maintain and scale well as your code base grows.</b>"<br /><br />"Having said, I applaud your enthusiasm for wanting to embrace the <em>reactive programming paradigm</em> :sunglasses: Both of the books you mention are superb. To those two, I would definitely add a third one, which you should read along with the fine book by Martin Odersky; the book <em>FP in Scala</em> is awesome, though a bit advanced. The book I'm suggesting is entitled <em>Programming Scala: Scalability = Functional Programming + Objects</em> (O'Reilly), by Dean Wampler and Alex Payne. As I had noted in my review of that book, many many moons ago, "If you're going to read only one book on Scala, make it this one..." and I still stand by my words - Feel free to <a href="http://programming-digressions.blogspot.com/2015/07/best-scala-books-it-is-hard-enough-to.html" rel="nofollow">check out my musings on this very subject</a>, <b>to get a better sense of the resources available to you for your Scala programming needs...</b>"<br /><br />"You're doing a very sensible thing by becoming proficient in Scala: Keep on reading!"<br /><br />- To that I'll quickly add that—and it was probably plenty clear already from the copious references to both Scala and Java in this essay—<b>I'm also a big fan of using a statically typed language for most all of my production code :)</b>sftwr2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/14201606904750701863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467360784939337729.post-24900484031110751812017-09-24T19:46:10.535-07:002017-09-24T19:46:10.535-07:00Is "Deep Learning: A practitioners approach&q...Is "Deep Learning: A practitioners approach" easily translatable to Scala?
