Jeff Heaton's Books
Here are some of the books that I've written. My current focus is neural networks, bots and the Encog Project, however, in the past I've written about Second Life, computer hardware and even a few intro titles. In the past I wrote for traditional computer book publishers, but I am currently focusing on self-publishing. All of these books can be purchased in ebook (DRM free) or paperback form.
