Practical Java Machine Learning

Mark Wickham is an active developer and has been a developer for many years, mostly in Java.  He is passionate about exploring advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning using Java. New software approaches, applied to the ever expanding volume of data we now have available to us, enables us to create Java solutions which were not before conceivable. He is a frequent speaker at developer conferences. His popular classes cover practical topics such as connectivity, push messaging, and audio/video.  Mark has led software development teams for Motorola, delivering infrastructure solutions to global telecommunications customers. While at Motorola, Mark also led product management and product marketing teams in the Asia Pacific region. Mark has been involved in software and technology for more than 30 years and began to focus on the Android platform in 2009, creating private cloud and tablet based solutions for the enterprise. Mark majored in Computer Science andPhysics at Creighton University, and later obtained an MBA from the University of Washington and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Mark is also active as a freelance video producer, photographer, and enjoys recording live music.  Previously Mark wrote Practical Android (Apress, 2018).

“The book is focused on readers who have some background in Java development and want to learn how to use Java frameworks for machine learning. … The book does a good job of explaining these topics to beginners by briefly describing the different kinds of algorithms and their application. … Java developers could use this book as a first approach to machine learning algorithms.” (Santiago Vidal, Computing Reviews, October 11, 2019)
