Chapter 2 ipynb not found #6

Dear, I'm trying to use the github of the book. In chapter 2 there is explained a simple model with the XOR and the CNN approach for the image classification on the dataset cat and dog, but in this repository, I found in Chapter 2 the ipynb relative to the Cancer detection.

Where I can find the lost examples?

We were working on upgrading most of the chapter codes to latest version to take care of most of changes to PL framework after 1.5.x and that is meant to be wider official release. I will personally ensure that a revised version copy (officially released copy) where we have upgraded most of the chapters to PyTorch Lightning 1.5.x is sent to you free of cost. It should start shipping in couple of weeks.

I have bought the book on amazon not from the packt official store. I will receive the copy? It is digital or paper copy?

@marcomameli1992 no matter where you purchased it , we will make sure that you get a revised copy sent to you . I am sorry again as I live in USA and it was never released in US and was not aware that we had released it outside. Given the major changes in underlying PL framework after 1.5 , made a conscious decision to upgrade most of content to 1.5 and delay the release. We have completed the work and digital copy should be out soon. I will revert to you soon after confirmation from publisher about the dispatch schedule to your address for revised edition.

Thank you so much for that information.

@marcomameli1992 Dear Reader

Thanks a lot for showing your interest and trust in the book. I want to profusely apologize for the poor experience you had in the pre-release version of the book.

To give a quick context about the background; we have started & finalized the draft on PyTorch Lightning version 1.1.x or 1.0.x. However as we neared the launch, it became clear that with the PyTorch Lightning 1.5.x release, a lot of framework has undergone functional changes including callbacks & key capabilities. While the code could have worked in isolation by installing correct packages; in order to have better experience for the readers, we have decided to delay the release and upgrade all the content to 1.5.x and release a revised edition. This is to ensure that all the latest features of new framework releases are correctly captured which makes applications in Deep Learning even easier.

To this effect we have changed the release date for the book in the USA on Amazon. The book was not released in the USA during this time.However, somehow that change was not reflected in some countries and pre-orders were released for the previous version of the book. Neither me nor the publisher were aware of this. We came to know of this only after feedback from users like you, which we could not fully understand at first since we were not aware of anyone actively using either the book or the Github repo. The Github code files during this time continued to evolve to reflect our upgrade. I am sorry that you had a bad experience due to this.

Nevertheless, the updated version is ready and it is more than just a code upgrade to PL 1.5.x

We must thank you for initial feedback as well on install instructions which we tried to address with more depth.

Me and Publisher would be happy to send you a free revised copy as a replacement for your previous order if received before April release. Doing so directly via Amazon turned out to be a challenge since Amazon does not share customer data. If you can forward your order info along with your contact details to the publisher email id at Gebin George; then we would be glad to send the copy of revised edition.

My sincere apologies again for the confusion and hope that you will give another chance to trust us. As always we appreciate your feedback, so please do share if you come across any new issues. You can always reach me at kunal.sawarkar@gmail.com.

Thanks & Regards, Kunal S
