【本書特色】分享在 Github 獲得 2,300 stars 的大數據 Side Project――FinMind，並一步步帶領讀者從 0 開始，打造專屬於自己的大數據 Side Project。不同於僅止於教學示範的 Side Project，FinMind 是少數經過實際使用者驗證、長期維運的資料服務，完整呈現資料工程從架構設計、系統實作，到產品化與穩定營運的全流程。讀者不只學會「怎麼做」，更能理解 為什麼要這樣做。【你將學到】資料工程實戰?使用分散式架構蒐集證交所、櫃買中心、期交所等股市資料，?並以容器化技術建構爬蟲、API、資料庫與訊息佇列服務。低成本雲端部署?單月約 5 美金 即可運行完整系統，?一站式管理多台分散式機器與服務。產品化與迭代流程?從單元測試、CI/CD 到 API 上線，?建立可持續維護與擴充的資料產品。監控與視覺化?建立專屬資料儀表板，並以業界主流監控工具掌握系統狀態。

從原型到產品，從作品到變現 學習、履歷與收入，用 AI 讓你面面俱到 AI 正在加速改寫整個產業價值鏈：從資料處理、產品迭代，到市場驗證、客戶成功，這個速度前所未見。雖然會寫程式很重要，但在人人都能用 AI 快速產出應用程式的今天，光靠寫程式已撐不起職涯的高度。 本書主張：職涯高度不僅在於「能做」，更在於把功能打磨為被市場選擇、並以數據驗證的產品與成果。 真正拉開差距的關鍵在於：把「做得出來」變成「有人願意用、願意付費、還會推薦」的價值。這就是產品經營的核心，也是本書想帶你跨過的那道鴻溝。 Side Project 在 AI 時代，已經不只是「技術練功房」，更像一台「職涯加速器」。AI 讓你原型做得快，但接下來才是重點：你要服務的對象、核心痛點、明確的價值主張、最低成本的驗證方法，以及每次釋出如何讓產品更靠近「被選擇」（如轉換率、留存、推薦率）。這些不只講技術，還牽涉產品、商業和溝通。 你會在書中走過一條可複製的路徑：從想法出發，用 AI 做出「能用」的原型；靠數據與回饋修正方向；把功能變成體驗，把體驗說成清楚的價值主張；想定價與定位，設計取得客戶的途徑；最後把成果整理成能展示、能講述、能交付的職涯資產（可被展示、量化與轉移的成果組合）。這不是只為了「做完一個專案」，而是要把你鍛造成「會做產品的人」。 程式是功能運作的基礎，AI 能幫你更快解題、分工更精準、決策更有效。但會寫程式之後，差距來自於產品視角：為什麼使用者需要你？他現在用什麼替代方案？你的不一樣在哪？你怎麼把價值講清楚、量得出來、建立信任、累積口碑？技術讓你起步，產品讓你被看見，商業讓你被記住，職涯讓你被需要。 這本書不只講「怎麼做」，也會說「為什麼做」和「做到什麼程度才算好」。我們不追求堆疊技術，而是把一件小事打磨成會被反覆選擇的解法。從概念與原型、到任務拆解與驗證、再到產品化、商業化與個人品牌，我們一步步走，讓 Side Project 作品成為你被世界看見的機會。將專案淬鍊成可延展的產品線，把「我會寫程式技能」轉化為「我能帶來商業成果的職涯資產」。 如果你正考慮轉職、轉換專業跑道或走自己的路，就從今天開始：把目標寫成使用者聽得懂的語言，讓每一份努力對齊商業與職涯的座標。用 AI 加速，以產品思維、數據與敘事提高說服力。當技術、產品、商業與職涯取得交集，你不只是在做一個 Side Project，而是

Discover how Mount Tambora's catastrophic eruption plunged the world into darkness, altering the global climate and inspiring the likes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This remarkable story of disaster and survival is brought to life in a thrilling new illustrated novel from the award-winning author of The Mona Lisa Vanishes. The world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock. When Mount Tambora, a volcano on the edge of the Indonesian archipelago, erupted in April 1815, it was the largest explosion in recorded history. The land around Indonesia was a hellscape of fire and smoke. In the months and years that followed, the fallout--a cloud of impossibly fine ash-- spread through the atmosphere. It killed harvests on the other side of the world. It turned farmers into beggars and their children into orphans. It turned sunsets into molten nightmares. That same year, eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley fled England with poet Percy Shelley. While sheltering from the

Fox is perfectly happy all by himself—until one day, a letter arrives: "Dear Fox: I know how much you enjoy puzzles. I bet you can’t resist this one . . . Head to the forest path to begin your journey. From an old friend."Fox doesn't need any mysterious puzzles, adventures, or memories of his old . . . But he stops himself from finishing the thought. Still, it can't hurt to look at the first clue. Of course, one clue leads to the next: Fox follows arrows in the mud, notes taped to trees, swirling smoke signals, a map from a bottle, and gifts from fellow animals—on the trail of a friendship that once was.Author-illustrator Alex G. Griffiths creates an irresistible mystery for readers to solve in this witty, whimsical picture book—with important themes of frien

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group. Participants, including myself, posed questions, suggested sessions, and explored shared concerns and interests. The following were some of the questions raised:• Why do so many people, who agree with the principles of feminism, hesitate to identify themselves as feminists?• What does feminism signify in 2024?• How should we define it?• Can individuals of genders other than women be feminists?• Is feminism still relevant, or is it considered passé?• Does the concept of feminism require rebranding?• Should we discuss feminism in the singular or feminismS in the plural?• Are we now closer to achieving the central feminist vision of an equitable

It's the demae-- delivery men-- setting off to deliver steaming trays of noodles to hungry customers all over the city. They are acrobats: whizzing past other bicycles, soaring around curves, avoiding the black smoke of motorcycles. When the children see them, they want to be them. And so they practice with bowls of wobbling water stacked on trays. The day passes, and, finally, exhausted, the demae return home, to their families, and, yes, to steaming bowls of noodles.This beautifully crafted, visually exciting story by a powerhouse author and illustrator team is sure to be adored by food lovers, young and old.
