Use window functions to optimize your T-SQL queries for greater simplicity, elegance, and performance Discover the surprising power of window functions, and learn how to use them far more widely The most advanced coverage of T-SQL window functions — including new techniques invented by author Itzik Ben-Gan, one of the world's top T-SQL experts Covers T-SQL for all recent versions of Microsoft SQL Server (including 2019) and Microsoft Azure SQL Database — including important new window function optimizations Ideal for DBAs, developers, and anyone who uses T-SQL to solve business problems Most T-SQL developers recognize the value of window functions for data analysis calculation. But window functions can do far more than that, and optimizations in recent versions of SQL Server have made them more powerful than ever. In T-SQL Window Functions: For Data Analysis and Beyond, renowned T-SQL expert Itzik Ben-Gan introduces breakthrough techniques for using window functions to handle many common T-SQL querying tasks with unprecedented elegance and power.Ben-Gan first explains why window functions can often be a far better solution than traditional predicate-based approaches. Next, using extensive code examples, he guides you through each type of window function: Aggregate, Ranking, Distribution and Offset. You'll find detailed coverage of ordered set functions (including SQL Server 2017's STRING_AGG); plus an extensive section on optimization. The book concludes with roughly 100 pages of real T-SQL solutions using window function approaches — including techniques invented by the author and available in no other book.

Summarizes all commands, keywords, command arguments, and associated prompts Presents configuration examples to show exactly how these commands are used The perfect take-anywhere single-source resource for both exam study and day-to-day Linux administration: no need for thick books or even Web access!For each exam objective, the key commands and configuration files will be detailed. The CompTIA Linux+ Portable Command Guide provides a single point of reference while studying for the certification exams as well as a valuable resource after the candidate has successfully passed the exams. The guide summarizes all commands, keywords, command arguments, and associated prompts. Configuration examples are provided throughout the book to give a better understanding of how these commands are used. This guide is not meant to replace any existing learning materials but rather serve as a supplementary guide to assist readers in the proper use of the many different commands to use on a regular basis and that are required to successfully pass the exams. Changes in the new version of the Linux Portable Command Guide:Focus only on the new CompTIA exam (there is a single exam now, not two) and will not cover the LPIC-1 objectives. Some topics have been removed from the original exams while new topics have been added, such as SELinux, AppArmor, Orchestration and Git.

In just a few years, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) systems such as DeepMinds DQN have yielded remarkable results. This hybrid approach to machine learning shares many similarities with human learning: its unsupervised self-learning, self-discovery of strategies, usage of memory, balance of exploration and exploitation, and its exceptional flexibility. Exciting in its own right, DRL may presage even more remarkable advances in general artificial intelligence. Deep Reinforcement Learning in Python: A Hands-On Introduction is the fastest and most accessible way to get started with DRL. The authors teach through practical hands-on examples presented with their advanced OpenAI Lab framework. While providing a solid theoretical overview, they emphasize building intuition for the theory, rather than a deep mathematical treatment of results. Coverage includes: Components of an RL system, including environment and agents Value-based algorithms: SARSA, Q-learning and extensions, offline learning Policy-based algorithms: REINFORCE and extensions; comparisons with value-based techniques Combined methods: Actor-Critic and extensions; scalability through async methods Agent evaluation Advanced and experimental techniques, and more How to achieve breakthrough machine learning performance by combining deep neural networks with reinforcement learning Reduces the learning curve by relying on the authors' OpenAI Lab framework: requires less upfront theory, math, and programming expertise Provides well-designed, modularized, and tested code examples with complete experimental data sets to illuminate the underlying algorithms Includes case studies, practical tips, definitions, and other aids to learning and mastery Prepares readers for exciting future advances in artificial general intelligenceThe accessible, hands-on, full-color tutorial for building practical deep reinforcement learning solutions How to achieve breakthrough machine learning performance by combining deep neural networks with reinforcement learning Reduces the learning curve by relying on the authors' OpenAI Lab framework: requires less upfront theory, math, and programming expertise Provides well-designed, modularized, and tested code examples with complete experimental data sets to illuminate the underlying algorithms Includes case studies, practical tips, definitions, and other aids to learning and mastery Prepares readers for exciting future advances in artificial general intelligence
