Let's discuss some prerequisites for this book. Don't worry, it's not math or statistics, just basic Python coding syntax is all you need to know. Apart from that, you need Python 2.7.X or Python 3.5.X installed on your computer; I recommend using any Linux operating system as well.
The list of Python dependencies can be found at GitHub repository at https://github.com/jalajthanaki/NLPython/blob/master/pip-requirements.txt.
Now let's look at the hardware required for this book. A computer with 4 GB RAM and at least a two-core CPU is good enough to execute the code, but for machine learning and deep learning examples, you may have more RAM, perhaps 8 GB or 16 GB, and computational power that uses GPU(s).
