Generative AI in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Break Series)

Not quite what I expected from the description, but there is material here.

This is the third book I have read on ai & machine learning this year, and it is comfortably the best of them. The code samples assume a particular environment, which took a bit of fiddling to get running properly. The author avoids over-explaining, which keeps the pace up but means you need to pay attention. Useful as a reference, less so as a straight read from cover to cover.

Solid and well-organised. A couple of chapters dragged a little.

There is a particular kind of technical book that is dense without being difficult, and this is one of them. I particularly liked the way the author builds up from simple cases before introducing the harder material. The author clearly knows the subject deeply and has thought hard about how to teach it. The index and cross-references are surprisingly good, which matters for a book I will come back to. Solid, and I would buy another book from this author without hesitation.
