- mark_l_watson 16y agoVery nice - after looking through the free PDF for 15 minutes, I ordered a print book to encourage and support the author. (I have done the same thing using Lulu: I get 200+ free PDF downloads a day for my Java AI book, and it is a good feeling when people occasionally order the print book).

- jasonb05 16y agoWow, happy to see this posted here again. Just found out that the book is finally available on Amazon (yay!) http://www.amazon.com/Clever-Algorithms-Nature-Inspired-Programming-Recipes/dp/1446785068 http://www.amazon.com/Clever-Algorithms-Nature-Inspired-Prog... Happy to answer any questions about the book/content.
- oomkiller 16y agoGreat too see an advanced topic covered using Ruby. I went ahead and picked up a hardcopy for leisurely reading.
- jasonb05 16y agoGreat, I hope you enjoy it! Happy to discuss it if you have any thoughts/questions, or shoot me an email: jasonb@cleveralgorithms.com I'm preparing to work on a follow-up book addressing machine learning methods.
- bstar 16y agoI've actually been reading this book over the past few months. I just stumbled across it while looking for info on neural networks in Ruby. The book takes a very clinical approach, but the code samples are surprisingly accessible. I haven't bought the book yet (I read it on my iPad), but I will eventually buy it if I can't find a decent digital download. For some reason I'm so much more inclined to buy books offered for free than not.
