| "Building an Application with Functional Haskell" |
"Haskell is a powerful and well-designed functional programming language designed to work with complex data. Its emphasis on ""purity"" makes it easier to create rock-solid applications which stay maintainable and error-free even as they grow in scale.This video is specifically aimed at anybody who knows the essentials of the Haskell programming language and who is interested in moving onto developing real programs that will make use of file I/O, command-line parsers and various third-party packages.We will start by describing the kind of application that the developer will write. We will then see how we will cover the kind of user interface to expect and the types of data processing and handling that the program will do. We will be seeing the different ways to store data in our filesystem and interact with it. By the end of the course, we will have developed a fully-featured command-line utility program that can later be expanded by the developer in many waysAbout the Author :Richard Cook is a staff software engineer at Tableau Software and works on high-performance relational database systems. He works primarily in C++, but has experience in a broad range of languages and technologies. He is a keen user of Haskell in his spare time and is frequently able to apply his functional programming and Haskell experience to his daily work. He is organizer of the Seattle Area Haskell Users Group and an active member of the Seattle functional programming community. He is currently developing a machine-learning framework for Haskell.He has a deep interest in programming languages and type systems in general, having developed compilers and developer tooling in the past. He is also a keen user of Python and C# and works regularly on all major desktop operating systems and dabbles with web applications."

He is located in New York City and can be found co-organizing NYC.JS meetups. More recently, he has focused on promoting React Native by presenting at conferences and publishing blog posts.Joshua Lyman has been developing React Native applications since version 0.11, and has used the technology to release several production applications. He is active in the RN community, helping others answer questions when possible and contributing code and example repositories to help others out. He has been developing mobile applications in general for more than four years and also spends a lot of time on both web frontend work and backend servers, scaling the full stack. He often uses React (React Native's parent counterpart) for frontend work, and runs Node and C#/.NET servers on the backend. He helps clients do UI/UX reviews and design, and works with enterprises to create line-of-business applications; he occasionally does business intelligence work for companies, slicing and dicing data."

| "Learning Path: Scala: Efficient Data Analysis with Scala" |
"Data analysis is a process for inspecting, consolidating, transforming, and making sense of data in a way that guides the decision-making process. Scala has emerged as an important tool for efficiently performing various data analysis tasks. So, if you're interested to load raw datasets with Spark, and perform exploratory data analysis on those via plotting Scala libraries, then go for this Learning Path. Packts Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. The highlights of this Learning Path are: Learn data processing, analytics, and visualization in ScalaIntegrate deep learning with SparkExplore Deeplearning4j and plotting with BokehLets take a quick look at your learning journey. This Learning Path will help you leverage popular Scala libraries and tools and perform core data analysis tasks with ease. You will see how to load raw data sets with Spark and perform exploratory data analysis on them via plotting. You will then learn what Spark has to offer when it comes to transforming data sets and how you can build a statistical model of a data set with Spark. Moving ahead, you will be introduced to Deeplearning4j and start with tasks such as integrating with Spark and linear regression with deep learning. You will make use of popular Scala libraries such as Breeze and Bokeh to plot your data. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to analyze and plot your data efficiently. Meet Your Expert: We have combined the best works of the following esteemed author to ensure that your learning journey is smooth: Anatolii Kmetiuk has been working with Scala-based technologies for four years. He has experience in deep learning models for text processing. He is interested in category theory and type-level programming in Scala. Another field of interest is chaos and complexity theory and artificial life, and ways to implement them in programming languages."
