On the right path!

I keep hearing all the time that tech is where it's at for jobs and I regret getting a useless degree in English. I'm terrible at math and I was really scared to start coding because I thought it would be too hard, but I tried this book after setting up my workstation and I found it really easy to understand and work through! By no means am I ready to start applying to tech jobs, but I can definitely say that I at least understand WAY more about it and most of all I do have confidence that pursuing something like this isn't completely out of my grasp. I'll definitely be looking for more from the author.

Very good purchase

At first I thought having the narrator read code was a bit odd, but sitting down listening to it in front of my laptop while coding, I found it incredibly useful to be able to type as I listened versus having to glance over at a book, which has always broken my focus a bit in the past. After this experience, I now prefer listening to code as I practice over other forms of practice

Perfect for beginners!

I wanted to expose my 16 year old son to something that would help instill some valuable skill in him, and I thought coding would be really good. He was reluctant at first, but I sat down with him as we listened and he was able to understand and follow the steps the narrator was telling him to take. I personally have no knowledge of anything this is about, but my son was really happy after he went through it and has even started listening and practicing on his own now! I think this was a good choice for him!

Great and very informative

"I've listened to other books on the topic and honestly, I couldn't even finish them because the narrators would be so boring I felt like I was falling asleep. I really appreciate the narrator having a bit more skill in making what could be dry material a bit easier on the ears. He sounds like a friend giving you advice, not your college professor at the front of a lecture hall."

Thanks to the author.....

Excellent! This book helps me understand JavaScript.

I'm really impressed by the depth and coverage

The book covers lot of concepts at a high level. It does not go in to the details. For example book does not take you through how ethash works and in step by step technically how transactions are validated and smart contracts are executed. Lot of internal technical details are missing and I had to surf the web to get things more clarified.

One good source.

This is a good source that contains all the information that we need to know about more Ethereum. This guide is in compact and in to the point format!

Total disaster and scam

Audible, how can you sell a book recorded on a laptop build in mic by a total amatour, who READs lines of code. Totally useless, I want a refund!

Nice book...

A nice feature of this book is that it solves a problem using several methods that increase in complexity; this is done in order to highlight the power of deeper and more sophisticated neural nets. Also, the book describes extensively the different features of Keras which is hard to find elsewhere. Overall, I highly recommend this book to technically-proficient deep learning enthusiasts.

Develop Deep Learning Engineering Skill

This book has a number of well worked examples, and I have found only a minor flaw in the code which can be fixed with a quick Google search, so it is nothing to worry about. Then again, I do not know of any book with code examples that has code that works right away (i.e. where every single line of code from the book works right away). The Keras web site is nice, but for somebody like me (I'm a data scientist, not a "real programmer" or developer) code examples are really needed to understand how to apply the concepts. So I strongly suggest this book. Thank you Anthony Williams for writing it!

Deep Learning courses

As a developer that has done a number of online Machine Learning/Deep Learning courses and a bit of reading/experimenting in the area, I enjoyed the book. The initial chapters provided a nice refresher/bridge into Deep Learning along with easy to follow instructions on getting up and going on Keras. The remainder of the book provide practical code examples of using Keras in a number of areas that were of specific interest to me and very helpful. I would recommend this book.

Great Introduction to Using Keras

That having been said, this book is a great introduction to coding up deep learning algorithms in Keras. There are sufficient citations and followups for each chapter and the authors also show the detailed code and expected outputs. The reader should already have some experience with python and a basic understanding of neural networks.

Title: Black Code

Subtitle: Surveillance, Privacy, and the Dark Side of the Internet (Expanded Edition)

Author: Ronald J. Deibert

Narrator: Ronald J. Deibert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-04-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Technology

Publisher's Summary:

Cyberspace is all around us. We depend on it for everything we do. We have reengineered our business, governance, and social relations around a planetary network unlike any before it. But there are dangers looming, and malign forces are threatening to transform this extraordinary domain.

In Black Code, Ronald J. Deibert, a leading expert on digital technology, security, and human rights, lifts the lid on cyberspace and shows what's at stake for Internet users and citizens. As cyberspace develops in unprecedented ways, powerful agents are scrambling for control. Predatory cyber-criminal gangs such as Koobface have made social media their stalking ground. The discovery of Stuxnet, a computer worm reportedly developed by Israel and the United States and aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities, showed that state cyberwar is now a very real possibility. Governments and corporations are in collusion and are setting the rules of the road behind closed doors.

This is not the way it was supposed to be. The Internet's original promise of a global commons of shared knowledge and communications is now under threat. Drawing on the first-hand experiences of one of the most important protagonists in the battle - the Citizen Lab and its global network of frontline researchers, who have spent more than a decade cracking cyber espionage rings and uncovering attacks on citizens and NGOs worldwide - Black Code takes listeners on a fascinating journey into the battle for cyberspace. Thought-provoking, compelling, and sometimes frightening, it is a wakeup call to citizens who have come to take the Internet for granted. Cyberspace is ours, it is what we make of it, Deibert argues, and we need to act now before it slips through our grasp.

A Timely Look at Privacy in a Connected World

The privacy vs security debate in cyberspace has quickly emerged at the forefront of political discussion. News feeds are constantly overwhelmed with headlines of new data breaches, acts of cyber espionage, and malware exploits every day. Clearly, appropriate and timely action must be taken, but what exactly does that entail and who are the key players in such a solution? Ronald Deibert attempts to answer this and many more questions in his latest book, Black Code.

Delivered like a novel or a great narrative at times, Black Code is a gripping page-turner that provides first and secondhand accounts on a wide variety of conflicts in cyberspace. China's cyber espionage of the exiled Tibetan government through the DarkComet RAT and koobface, the Russian-based botnet created for the sole purpose of enabling Facebook click fraud are both thoroughly reported. The diversity and quantity of major cyber events covered is significant and despite having read numerous books on the subject, I found myself learning a substantial amount.

Some of my discontent with Black Code has to do with the constant nods to The Citizen Lab. Given the author's affiliation, I'd consider this to be standard affair and not much of a detriment, but it occasionally gets noticeable enough to distract from the actual content. Also, I was somewhat put off by the constant aggression towards government officials throughout.

Members Reviews:

Good book for managers

Bernard Marr is very knowledgeable and has a solid background in the subject. This is a good book for managers who want to learn more about why they should use big data. It is not useful for the aspiring data scientist who wants to learn more tactical level practices.

basic overviews not details

gives a lot of examples, yet very little hard details that you could run with in real life.

The narration is horrible

The main British accent changes into Southern and other accents as the voice narrator takes too much attention away from this very informative book. Had they picked a real professional narrator, I'd have ranked it higher

Lacking in detail, very general.

More of a collection of general points than a serious book to be read and studied.

The most dissapointing read ever!

If anyone benefited from spending time with this production it would have to be total beginner who has no clue about what Big Data means. Even then there is probably number of better positions explaining subject and saving a reader from cliches. In fact I call it a book of cliche! Never seen so many in one place; author also likes word "huge" and use it everywhere replacing need for quantifiable data. Surely, specific details are not what the writer is bothered with here. Huge for all and we done ;). BTW. Facebook came up with some of most powerful/known Big Data platforms and arguably is the biggest R&D player in the area; not mere user. I expected that the author of the book would know/mention that. Summing up, book seems like written by marketing people for marketing audience; little substance and a lot of big meaningless words.

Members Reviews:

Going from zero to intel without the marketing buzz

This book needs to be read by anyone hearing the phrase Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), but don't understand exactly what that means.

This would also be a good primer for any one going to SANS For578.

This is a no nonsense guide to starting a CTI program, for those that don't have one, or think they have one. The projects at the end, after reading the book, can take you from zero to CTI by just figuring out what is important and who is after that which is important.

Great starter/validation book on TI

Great book on how to get starting in threat intelligence on what works/doesn't from a person that has been doing it throughout his professional career. In a recent rather entertaining presentation at a security conference, James ran through key highlights from this book to further help get people started or better validate ones current efforts in TI.

... an idea on your overhead then this is the best place to start

If you're trying to grow a threat intelligence capability for your organization while still keeping an idea on your overhead then this is the best place to start.

This book breaks down what you need to understand not only how to build a treat intelligence capability but how to understand what things are the important indicators to look for without getting overwhelmed by a deluge of data.

It also doesn't matter what your current knowledge/skill level is as this book was written with all levels from beginner to advanced in mind.

Demystifying Threat Intelligence

James does a great job in this book breaking down the components of threat intelligence and placing them within reach of executives, laymen, and general IT professionals. I hear a lot how the information contained in the book should be "common sense." I'm glad James made the effort to break that paradigm and outline the topic in a manner accessible to everyone. I'd recommend Effective Threat Intelligence to everyone, because the world needs increased awareness of these topics. This is not only applicable to IT Security personnel. Great job, James! Keep on shouting these messages from the hilltops!

A CEO & CSO Must Read! After having worked ...

A CEO & CSO Must Read! After having worked in this field before it beecame a marketing buzz word, I can say it is refreshing to see a well-written, accurate, simple approach that anyone use to model a threat intelligence program after or improved their current one. If you think you "want threat intelligence" to add value to your org, you MUST READ THIS!

it's very specific

The discussion has been very specific, although this is really intended for people who have basic knowledge on machine learning. Im also planning on consulting data analytics books too to enhance my learning.

Appreciate it

Appreciate this audio book. It has aided me in understanding the frustrating parts in machine learning. Im confident that Ill be able to master the technical materials of the said subject in no time!

highly appreciate the illustrative examples given

The narrator sounds like hes seducing his readers. LOL! But I guess its one of his ways to get his readers attention and I must say that it has been effective. The illustrative examples have been useful. Ive gotten the machine learning process in just a short period of time.

Worst book and narrator

I am not sure why the narrator was chosen for this job. He lacks everything you need to narrate, from clear pronunciation to connotation. To expected the book to focus more on definitions and uses of ML.

Suits newbies really well.

Suits newbies really well. I felt like I was back in school and it was quite challenging actually. My curiosity on automated learning was piqued even more right after I managed to listen to this book in one sitting. But the narrator was pretty fast when reading it. I had to go back every time.

Members Reviews:

This is a good information book it will not teach you how to be a hacker or a least how to get into somebody's computer.

There are few good tips on good programs to download and use, but most of the book focuses on what people can do to you and how to see how vulnerable your systems are but no word on how to protect. It does give you few examples how to get into people's phones and public networks but that's not really legal and as far as legal practices , you can do that only when hired by the company that wants you to hack it and find weaknesses.

So my takeaway is in order to use this techniques legally you can only use it on your own computers and network yet no word on what to do to strengthen those weaknesses.

But still, the book is pretty cool and there are few things you can use. It will take you just a few hours to read it.

Great book! I had earlier researched on hacking and this sorts, but this book was really helpful in describing all of the different hacking methods and how to perform as well as defend against them. I primarily found the defense good because I recently was hacked by Russians and a worm was put in my computer.

Before I began reading this book my brother let me ...

Before I began reading this book my brother let me know and re-underscore to me that hacking is a world class profession. I was influenced significantly more. I didn't start hacking without a solid foundation in some other IT aptitudes since I may give up and feel devastated.
