Encog is a machine learning framework for Java and .NET. Initially, Encog was created to support only neural networks. Later versions of Encog expanded more into general machine learning. However, this book will focus primarily on neural networks. Many of the techniques learned in this book can be applied to other machine learning techniques. Subsequent books will focus on some of these areas of Encog programming. This book is published in conjunction with the Encog 3.0 release and should stay very compatible with later versions of Encog 3. Future versions in the 3.x series will attempt to add functionality with minimal disruption to existing code.
