内容简介 ······
Web 2.0 applications provide a rich user experience, but the parts you can't see are just as important-and impressive. They use powerful techniques to process information intelligently and offer features based on patterns and relationships in data. Algorithms of the Intelligent Web shows readers how to use the same techniques employed by household names like Google Ad Sense, Netflix, and Amazon to transform raw data into actionable information.
Algorithms of the Intelligent Web is an example-driven blueprint for creating applications that collect, analyze, and act on the massive quantities of data users leave in their wake as they use the web. Readers learn to build Netflix-style recommendation engines, and how to apply the same techniques to social-networking sites. See how click-trace analysis can result in smarter ad rotations. All the examples are designed both to be reused and to illustrate a general technique- an algorithm-that applies to a broad range of scenarios.
As they work through the book's many examples, readers learn about recommendation systems, search and ranking, automatic grouping of similar objects, classification of objects, forecasting models, and autonomous agents. They also become familiar with a large number of open-source libraries and SDKs, and freely available APIs from the hottest sites on the internet, such as Facebook, Google, eBay, and Yahoo.

正在读这本书的中译本，是阿稳和陈钢译的，看得过程如沐春风。原稿很有特点，除了这个很难得的主题，以及别无分号的方法论（虽然定位为初级，但国内绝大多数业者都需要看），更主要的是他教学的思路很独特。最让我印象深刻的是译稿的质量，真得是许久未见的佳作！
这种书里使劲贴什么代码…注意品味…
很不错，但是距离好的实现还是有一大段距离，摸索中前进吧。
很不错的科普，但是不够系统全面，只有一些例子
