About the Author
Anna Novikova is a software developer with over 15 years of experience. She used C++, C#, Python and Go (not simultaneously, though!). Anna began to use Python when she started working at the area of deep learning.
That’s why the main theme of the book is not only about Python applications but also about how programming language helps the developer to be efficient.
