Why I Wrote This Book

I am the type of developer who is always pushing the envelope looking for more. I eagerly await the emergence of new products and technologies, and I am always trying to make the next application I write better than the last one. That being said, I also have a limited amount of time every day to get everything done.

I wrote this book to explore and introduce some interesting technologies and products that I think are either unknown or unexplored. They all revolve around AI-based concepts that have been around for several years. This book seeks to introduce concepts that may have been viewed as too hard in the past.

The world is changing fast, and the development world even faster. Professional software developers do not have time to learn the foundation of every AI-related technology. We barely have enough time to wade through the documentation that accompanies a beta product. What we need is someone to give us an intuitive and standard way for accessing these technologies. We know that AI technologies can be useful, but we need a good way to get to them.
