What is custom duty/charge?

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:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Studying machine learning during my university times and being an aspiring scala developer I picked this book up as an opportunity to learn scala while reading about what interests me the most in the field of computer science. This wont be an easy read for people not familiar with scala at all, but if you have some experience with the language and are interested in machine learning, I definitely recommend the book. It is a nice and quite deep dive into the topic. What I found very interesting was the optional math part available in each section. This book is also showing me where my understanding of scala is still superficial, the code is written a very good way.

Some technical books are heavy on theory, some are heavy on practicality. There are books that describe ‘why’ and others that show you ‘how’. Personally, I have always tended towards the ‘how’ side of things - the ‘cookbook’ approach is one I have always liked. The more practical the better.Scala For Machine Learning (full disclosure, I received an unpaid review copy) is as about as practical as it gets. Loaded with code examples, this book leaves you in no doubt that it will help you construct your own code, against your own data in the fastest time possible. But it does not take any short-cuts.Machine Learning and Scala is a broad subject to cover and SFML does an admirable job of taking you from the first steps of data preparation, right the way through to a artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms.I work with data - it has been my day-to-day working life for over twenty years, and there is never any shortage of new territory to cover. I am predominately data engineering focused, and whilst the data content is the most important thing, it is the technology that keeps me engaged. In the final chapter of SFML Nicolas covers a nice selection of frameworks for concurrent processing. This really piqued my interest - Apache Spark is a hot topic at the moment and is given a good few pages here, reviewing its Scala and Akka heritage and demonstrating its core design principles of in-memory persistence, scheduling laziness, distributed dataset actions and shared variables. Better yet Nicolas shows you how to get Spark up and running and executing your first K-means tasks.The bulk of the book is made up with detailed reviews, explanations and implementation guides for different machine learning algorithms and methodologies. Each section is made up of a wealth of detailed explanation, detailed implementation instructions and guidelines, honestly - at times - the information density can be a little overwhelming, but it is all hugely valuable, and much appreciated.Running through the whole book is, of course, an appreciation of Scala and its abilities to perform in a distributed manner, at scale. This is the sort work that Scala, in all of its object-functional glory, was designed to address. I have read other Scala books and the programming language has always been presented in a “you may be used to, but Scala…” fashion. I am happy to say that is not the case here, with solid examples, proper real world code and thorough debriefs - Scala is presented as it should be, a language in its own right, being dealt with on its own terms.If your work or study includes components of machine learning and / or data processing - and you are looking for a modern take on some time-honoured methods, this book is work picking up and consuming, avidly.

just wanted to let potential buyers know that the kindle version has none of the nuisances sometimes found in e-books. i just purchased this book (from amazon france) and did a quick check of the source code, equations, and diagrams. everything shows up perfectly. no comment on the content yet, but it looks quite interesting.

Very detailed. Not for beginners in scala programming

Tomer Ben David Feb 12, 2015

My favorite book these days, using scala? doing machine learning? I don't want to read a separate book on machine learning and another one on advanced scala tailored for machine learning, can anyone please summarize scala + machine learning in the same book? Yes - This book does it. Still reading but so far so good! Perfect match for me.
