Sharing the knowledge of experts
O'Reilly's mission is to change the world by sharing the knowledge of innovators. For over 40 years, we've inspired companies and individuals to do new things (and do them better) by providing the skills and understanding that are necessary for success.
Our customers are hungry to build the innovations that propel the world forward. And we help them do just that.
From the Publisher
From the Preface
Our Approach
We believe in learning by doing. Throughout this book, we provide code examples that you can run and adapt to your specific needs. We focus on practical implementations rather than theoretical abstractions, though we provide enough theory to ensure that you understand why certain approaches work better than others.
We’ve chosen to write this book with our individual voices rather than aiming for a seamless narrative. As you read, you’ll hear from each of us directly, sharing our specific expertise and experiences. We believe this approach makes the content more authentic and allows us to connect with you on a more personal level.
Who This Book Is For
This book is designed for several key audiences:
- Machine learning engineers and AI engineers transitioning from traditional machine learning models to complex generative AI pipelines
- Data teams moving from conventional analytics to AI-powered insights
- Software developers with Python skills entering AI-first application development
- Product managers and technical leaders responsible for AI strategy and implementation
- Career transitioners leveraging existing technical foundations to move into AI engineering roles
While we assume familiarity with Python programming and basic machine learning concepts, we’ve structured the content to be accessible to readers with varying levels of expertise. Some familiarity with Google Cloud and Vertex AI is beneficial but not a prerequisite.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this book, you should have:
- Experience with Python programming
- Basic understanding of machine learning concepts
- Familiarity with cloud computing principles (though not necessarily Google Cloud specifically)
If you’re new to some of these areas, don’t worry—we provide references and explanations where needed, and the hands-on approach means you’ll learn as you go.
