Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

This book is unlike myriads of Tensorflow or machine learning books in the market. If you are interested in enterprise level use and deployment of Tensorflow models, this is the right book. This book helps me to go beyond the baby-steps of learning how to build Tensorflow ML models. All examples throughout this book uses either datasets or TFRecord data structure. I did not have a good understanding about these data structure before I bought and read this book. I often wonder why we need such data structures. After I read this book, I now understand that in an enterprise or production level, knowing how to handle distributed data is a must-have skill. I am glad that the author chose to use such enterprise-relevant data structures throughout the examples in this book. I would say this is a unique aspect of this book which differentiates it from other Tensorflow books. Another nice touch is that instead of teaching you how to build a ML model, it uses pre-built models Tensorflow Hub, and show me how to make it work for my own data. I learned transfer learning for the first time with book.To make most use of this book, it is important to clone the accompanying GitHub directory.For Tensorflow to be useful at enterprise level, it is important to have cloud integration. This book also helped me get started with learning how to use Google Cloud AI Platform with the integration to BigQuery data warehouse. Further, this book also contains step by step instructions on how to leverage cloud TPU and GPU to perform distributed training job. As a matter of fact, I now realize how important it is to use cloud TPU or GPU for time consuming job such as hyperparameter optimization. And the book shows me exactly how to do it. This book also did a very good job helping me learn how to different hyperparameter tuning methods work. I learned how hyperband algorithm works for the first time. That’s a delightful surprise.This book also describes how model optimization works, and why it is important. I didn’t realize that model size can be reduced by so much and yet retains similar or identical accuracy. Now I realize that once the model is built, optimization is always a good idea to make it more light-weight. And finally, when it comes to deployment, this book helped me understand how to serve the model behind a REST API using Tensorflow Serving. Model serving is a complicated issue in enterprise setting. This book helps me acquire the table stake knowledge about serving a model using Docker container. With the way described by this book, it turned out to be much easier than I thought.So overall, I would rate this book as a five-star book, and really appreciate the thoughts and works put in this book by the author. I definitely recommend it for anyone who has Tensorflow experience, and looking to take their skills to another level, which is much more relevant and practical for enterprise use. Well done.

Cloud computing is a relevant tool for companies to achieve their digital transformation, especially for those developing data-driven business models based on Deep Learning Frameworks as a core technology. Commence in cloud technologies can be overwhelming for beginners due to the tons of online tutorials, material, and documentation that are not always updated, creating frustration and delaying these technologies' adoption.The book is a useful guide and a great starting point for deploying the first AI-based applications for those who initiate Cloud Computing. Also, it is an excellent complementary material for those currently working as MLOps Engineers that want to understand advanced options in TensorFlow Enterprise and Google Cloud Computing. It includes sections with practical hands-on material easy to read and follow. Chapters handle relevant topics such as creating a data warehouse on the cloud, accessing the data efficiently using Tensorflow from different pythonic formats such as Pandas DataFrames or Numpy arrays, and small but valuable tips about using TPU instead of using a GPU. The hand-on material is available on Github, and such is a good source to start developing your ideas

One single source of reference material for tensorflow. Practical guide.

Aishwary Feb 23, 2021

This book is a perfect introduction to TensorFlow, from learning basics to advanced features like model deployment in production. The best part about this book is sample code as a part of the explanation and images to illustrate the UI components on Google Cloud Platform. This book has an excellent use case to work google cloud AI notebooks while leveraging big data suite tools (tools like BigQuery). One of the other good things about this book is that it does not leave any concepts half explained. I liked the section on transfer learning and hyperparameter tuning (section 3 - chapter 4 and 6) the most. It also has details about working with TFRecords, which is an essential feature to work with data in the real world. Even if you do not work to deploy models in production, I would recommend every deep learning practitioner to read this book to get a perfect experience with all the concepts that one requires to leverage on a day-to-day basis.

I have been doing deep learning modeling using tensorflow programming for couple of years and its hard to actually build the model picking right number of GPU machines , setting them up properly, connecting data sources, buidl train models and then take the model to production. I have used the other public clouds but its much much easier on google cloud as they created Tensorflow in the first place. I also bought some beefy gaming machines with Nvidia chipsets but always had the ceremonial steps to do before i could do anything practical at cloud scale.This books explains clearly how to set up the sources in data warehouse, how to create notebooks, build models and deploy them without breaking the bank as its all taken care by Google Cloud.I have to point out the toughest parts of Deep Learning are the scaling using TPUs and GPUs and this book covers those aspects too. Not to underestimate, serving models are tricky and there are just too many options to do it. This book walks you through a good way to serve such models.Frankly this book saves time you will spend going through the many docs online and lets you quickly start from introduction and takes you to production.
