I am nearing the final stages of two new books. Introduction to Neural Networks for Java and Introduction to Neural Networks for C#. The Java book is the Second Edition to the original "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java". This is a considerable update to the original text. The covers for the two new books can be seen below. The Java book is expected to be out in September,2008. The C# book by January,2009. More information on these two books will be posted in the coming weeks.

This is the first of several articles about Lego Mindstorm NXT. This article introduces you to the parts included with the Mindstorm NXT kit. You will see what is included and how they work together.

A Hopfield neural network is a simple neural network that contains a single layer of four interconnected neurons. The following applet demonstrates a 4-neuron Hopfield neural network.

Programming Neural Networks in Java will show the intermediate to
advanced Java programmer how to create neural networks. This book
attempts to teach neural network programming through two mechanisms.
First the reader is shown how to create a reusable neural network
package that could be used in any Java program. Second, this reusable
neural network package is applied to several real world problems that
are commonly faced by IS programmers. This book covers such topics as
Kohonen neural networks, multi layer neural networks, training, back
propagation, and many other topics.
