2. dPunkt Praxiseinstieg Large Language Models
The book provides an overview of central concepts and techniques of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and demonstrates the potential of both open-source and closed-source models. It explains how Large Language Models work and how they can be utilized for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. It is also accessible to interested non-data scientists with Python knowledge. Topics include the ChatGPT API, prompt engineering, chatbot personas, and cloud deployment, with a discussion on GPT-4 as well.
Large Language Models like ChatGPT exhibit remarkable capabilities, but their size and complexity deter many practitioners from implementing them in their own applications. In this introduction, data scientist and AI entrepreneur Sinan Ozdemir removes these obstacles and provides a guide for using LLMs to solve practical NLP problems. Sinan Ozdemir has compiled everything you need to get started, even if you have no prior experience with LLMs: step-by-step instructions, best practices, real-world case studies, exercises, and much more. At the same time, he offers insights into how LLMs function to assist you in selecting models, data formats, and parameters. On the author's accompanying website, you will find additional resources, including sample datasets and code for working with open-source and closed-source LLMs.
3. dPunkt Data Science
Know-how for Data Scientists
A clear and application-oriented introduction with numerous use cases and practical examples from various industries. Potential benefits as well as possible pitfalls are highlighted.

4. dPunkt Datenarchitekturen
All concepts at a glance: The first guide to the various approaches that helps in selecting an architecture that fits your own requirements. It describes the most popular data architectures, outlines their advantages and disadvantages, and explains how theory and practice differ. Includes numerous diagrams and comparative tables. Data Fabric, Data Lakehouse, and Data Mesh have recently emerged as viable alternatives to the Modern Data Warehouse, gaining attention from companies. These new architectures have solid advantages, but their professional classification is also marked by misunderstandings and exaggerations. This practical book offers a well-structured and easily understandable introduction to each of these architectural approaches, helping data experts understand their pros and cons. James Serra, Big Data and Data Warehousing Solution Architect at Microsoft, explains common data architecture concepts and also demonstrates how data warehouses have had to evolve to work with data lake functionalities. You will learn what you can achieve with data lakehouses and how to distinguish the hype surrounding data meshes from concrete practice. After reading this book, you will be able to determine the data architecture that is best suited for your purposes.

6. dPunkt InDesign automatisieren
With scripting, you can make your life easier. Anyone who has spent a workday repeatedly formatting micro-typography, exchanging image data, or updating cross-references will immediately see the advantages of automation. The hurdle of seemingly too technical and difficult script creation is easily overcome with Gregor Fellenz. He gently guides you from search and replace with GREP into InDesign automation using JavaScript. He explains programming and the InDesign object model through practical examples. Screenshots of the InDesign dialogs, accompanied by the corresponding English scripting code, make it easier for beginners to get started. The "cookbook" section presents numerous helpful scripts that automate routine tasks or expand functionality. They are thoroughly explained and available on the W.
7. dPunkt Modellbasierte Softwareentwicklung für eingebettete Systeme verstehen und anwenden
Software is the raw material of the digital age. Only those who master the handling of this raw material will be able to develop marketable systems in the future. Topics such as IoT and Industry 4.0 are accelerating this trend. Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) provides a crucial contribution to successfully addressing this challenge. The book describes the effective use of MDSE from requirements to architecture, design, code generation, and testing. For each phase, paradigms, methods, techniques, and tools are described, with a focus on practical application. The reader learns how a model-based approach can be beneficially applied in practice for the development of an embedded system. The approach is presented independently of modeling tools and in such a way that the reader can easily implement it in their environment.
