About the book¶
The book is available now on Leanpub (ebook), on Kindle and in paperback on Amazon (Volume I, Volume II). It covers every objective in NVIDIA's published NCP-AIN exam blueprint. It follows one running example, the Helix AI Factory, from start to finish. Each chapter has technical diagrams, a hands-on lab, a troubleshooting scenario and about 40 exam-style questions with explanations. It ends with three 75-question mock exams, a cram sheet, a command reference and a glossary.
