Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

I have experience as a statistician, data scientist, software engineer, programmer, and I would say a little bit as an ML engineer. In Chapter 1, the author talks about the different roles, so I look forward to reading that to compare against my experience! haha. I don't have any experience using tools to build pipelines, so I am looking forward to reading about that. I like the content and structure of the book, and with only 9 chapters it's not overwhelming. I feel like I could get up to speed really quickly. I have familiarity with many parts, but not everything. I am interested in reading the section about "Choosing a style" - OOP or FP. I am also interested in exploring the "standard ML patterns" - data lakes, microservices, event-based designs and batching. I am interested in learning more about using AWS, so it's great that that's covered. The chapter on scaling is definitely interesting, as is the chapter on LLMs. I have watched interviews with the OpenAI and MSFT folks on the GPT models and I have interacted with ChatGPT. The LLMs look fun to try and the python code in the book looks very easy to read.I like this book a lot. It concisely convers all the points in moving from concept to solution, including what tools can be used. I think it will be a great starting point for me. I can't wait to try it out!

The width of topics covered along with the code provided makes this a great book! I liked how it started with basics of ML pipelines and went all the way to different LLMOps and so on. The explanation along with the provided diagrams make it easy to understand and retain. I highly recommend this book.

There are a lot of books out there that walk you through the steps of putting together a complex ML model using ideal data in a closed setting. This is not one of those books. ML engineering with Python is instead a comprehensive guide to the way machine learning works in practice at most companies.The book does a great job of explaining the MLops tools that almost all businesses today rely on to train, deploy, serve, and iterate on models. In my opinion, the concepts in this book are far more valuable than understanding how to use specific ML frameworks to solve problems. Simply understanding that these tools exist, and knowing how they are used will give engineers a leg up, and lead to more revenue generating impact than any gold medal kaggle model could produce on its own.

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing "Machine Learning Engineering with Python - Second Edition" by Andrew McMahon. As a NASA data analyst deeply engaged with the operational side of machine learning, I found this book to be a valuable resource for professionals dedicated to mastering MLOps and managing the lifecycle of ML models. Andrew effectively uses practical examples and a thorough examination of contemporary tools and methodologies to advance this field.One of the standout features of this book is McMahon's approach to integrating Python code to clarify the mechanics behind ML algorithms. While I chose not to run the scripts verbatim, I found them incredibly useful as references, enhancing both my existing projects and new initiatives. This method greatly assisted me in understanding the intricacies of ML pipelines and applying these insights across various applications.A suggestion for future readers would be to approach the first chapter last. The book begins with advanced topics that are more comprehensible after navigating through the foundational material presented in subsequent chapters. This adjustment could help flatten the learning curve and not become discouraged at the advanced material.That said, there are areas where the book could improve. The chapter dedicated to generative AI and large language models, for instance, would benefit from additional case studies that demonstrate their practical applications within industry. Moreover, a deeper focus on the ethical considerations of deploying AI systems at scale is necessary, given the increasing importance of ethics in our field.In conclusion, Andrew McMahon’s second edition is a comprehensive guide that I highly recommend to MLOps practitioners, ML engineers, and data scientists. Its depth of content, combined with practical, real-world applications, positions it as a critical read for professionals aiming to stay at the forefront of technology. If you're in the field, this book is undoubtedly a valuable addition to your professional toolkit.
