Thank you for your understanding! - -Of course, there are also a few points to consider before buying: - -- The book uses Python, which may not be your main language. You can treat Python as pseudocode and focus on understanding the ideas. -- Full-color printing greatly improves the reading experience for illustrations and code, but costs somewhat more than black-and-white printing. - -!!! tip - - “Print quality” and “price” are like “time efficiency” and “space efficiency” in algorithms: it is difficult to optimize both. In my view, print quality corresponds to time efficiency and deserves greater priority. - -## Where to buy - -If you are interested in the Simplified Chinese print edition, consider getting a copy.

I assumed that as long as the open-source project was well maintained, some form of automation could generate the printed book. Experience showed that producing a printed book differs greatly from updating an open-source project, and moving between the two requires considerable extra work. - -There is still a long road from a first draft to a manuscript ready for publication. It takes close collaboration and sustained refinement by the author and the publisher's planning, editorial, design, and marketing teams. My thanks go to Turing's commissioning editor Junhua Wang and everyone at Posts & Telecom Press and Turing Community who took part in publishing this book! - -I hope this book will help you! diff --git a/en/docs/index.html b/en/docs/index.html index ca77dcd55..0ca0712c4 100644 --- a/en/docs/index.html +++ b/en/docs/index.html @@ -101,22 +101,9 @@
