Koding’s newly expanded enterprise platform
Koding today announced general availability of its new flagship platform that provides features and productivity tools tailored to enterprise developers and DevOps, accelerating continuous and agile software development and delivery by letting anyone contribute to a software development project, regardless of where they are.
Koding provides developers and DevOps with technology and tools to automate the integration and overall management of code, both in on-premises servers and across multiple clouds for the enterprise. It provides the tools for managing development and operations workflow, collaboration, clear delineation between different projects, and security features for enterprise development organizations.
Free deep learning book available
After two and a half years, a former research scientist at Google (along with some co-authors) helped write a free deep learning textbook. It’s intended to help students and practitioners enter the field of machine learning, and will be available for sale soon. But in the meantime, it will remain online for free.
Ian Goodfellow (previously a research scientist at Google), Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville are the authors. According to the book’s site, printing seems to work best directly from the browser, especially Chrome. (Other browsers do not work as well.) In particular, the Edge browser displays the “≠” sign as the “=” sign in some cases.
Some of the chapters in the book include machine learning basics, optimization for training deep models, and structured probabilistic models for deep learning.
Right now, the authors say it is difficult to predict when the book will come out. MIT Press is currently preparing it for printing.
