Why read it?

1 author picked Programming Collective Intelligence as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was my favorite book when I started my career. It talks about how information is processed, in an intelligent way, in the internet age. It acts as a tutorial to teach developers how to code our own ML programs, from online dating services, to document analyzer, and search engine. The author did an excellent job of explaining abstract ML algorithms with clear examples. His coding style in Python reads clearly, which makes the book more beginner-friendly.

Don’t get disappointed when you know this book is more than a decade old. It was a visionary book back in the day…
