 <title>Getting Started PDF Released for Encog Java</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HeatonResearch/~3/qW4s4UPyo_g/getting-started-pdf-released-encog-java</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Encog has been lacking a getting started document for some time.  I've completed a 75 page PDF that describes all of the basics of Encog.  This is the Java version for now.  C# will follow soon.  This is a completly free EBook.  I will be doing traditional books that go much deeper into Encog soon.  You can download it from here.  Just scroll down to "Getting Started".&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Applying Multithreading to Resilient Propagation and Backpropagation</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HeatonResearch/~3/Yn8kKN-II4Q/compare.html</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;This article shows how the Multi Propagation (MPROP) algorithm was implemented for Encog for Java.  Though this article focuses on the Java implementation the C# version would be very similar.  MPROP is based on resilient propagation, but is designed to work well with multicore computers and gain maximum performance.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>First Chapter of Java Encog Programming Book Now Online</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HeatonResearch/~3/XpWLjvbteYY/first-chapter-java-encog-programming-book-now-online</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The first chapter of Programming Neural Networks with Encog 2 in Java is now online.  You can view it here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.heatonresearch.com/online/programming-neural-networks-encog-java" title="http://www.heatonresearch.com/online/programming-neural-networks-encog-java"&gt;http://www.heatonresearch.com/online/programming-neural-networks-encog-java&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More chapters will be added soon, probably one a week or so as they are edited.  The first 6-7 chapters will be available free online.  The entire book, probably 14 chapters total, will be sold in my usual paperback/ebook formats.  Expect the entire book early 2010.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope to release the first C# chapter as well soon too!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HeatonResearch/~4/XpWLjvbteYY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

 <title>Covers for Programming Encog Book</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HeatonResearch/~3/4blaF_-KdEk/covers-programming-encog-book</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The covers are now complete for the Programming Encog books.  I hope to release these books in the Febuary to March timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/images/encog/book/encog-programming.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Encog is an advanced neural network and bot programming framework.  This book focuses on using Encog to create a variety of neural network architectures using the Java programming language.  Neural network architectures such as feedforward/perceptrons, Hopfield, Elman, Jordan, Radial Basis Function, and Self Organizing maps are all demonstrated.&lt;/p&gt;
