Have you ever heard the term, "Coding your way out of a paper bag"? In this book, you'll do exactly that. In each chapter, you'll examine different machine learning techniques that you can use to programmatically get particles, ants, bees, and even turtles out of a paper bag. While the metaphor itself may be silly, it's a great way to demonstrate how algorithms find solutions over time. If you're a beginner-to-intermediate programmer keen to understand machine learning, this book is for you.

Build a repertoire of algorithms, discovering terms and approaches that apply generally. Bake intelligence into your algorithms, guiding them to discover good solutions to problems. Test your code and get inspired to try new problems. Work through scenarios to code your way out of a paper bag; an important skill for any competent programmer. See how the algorithms explore and learn by creating visualizations of each problem.
