I am thrilled to introduce my book on **graph neural networks**, which is the result of almost a year's worth of hard work, research, and collaboration with fellow experts in the field.

When I started learning about GNNs, **resources were particularly scarce**. This book is the guide I wish I had back then: it has been carefully crafted to provide a step-by-step guide for those new to the world of GNNs, while also offering advanced use cases and examples for experienced practitioners. What's more, the entire code with examples and use cases is [freely available on <i class="fa-brands fa-github"></i> **Github**](https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Graph-Neural-Networks-Using-Python), making it easy for you to get started with implementing GNNs in Python.

If you're interested in graph neural networks, I highly recommend **checking it out**. I'm confident that you'll find it to be an invaluable resource as you explore this exciting and rapidly growing field.

## 📘 Key Features

* **Implement** state-of-the-art graph neural network architectures in Python
* **Create** your own graph datasets from tabular data
* **Build** powerful traffic forecasting, recommender systems, and anomaly detection applications

## 💼 Book Description

Graph neural networks are a highly effective tool for analyzing data that can be represented as a graph, such as social networks, chemical compounds, or transportation networks. The past few years have seen an **explosion in the use of graph neural networks**, with their application ranging from natural language processing and computer vision to recommendation systems and drug discovery.

Hands-On Graph Neural Networks Using Python begins with the **fundamentals** of graph theory and shows you how to create graph datasets from tabular data. As you advance, you'll explore major graph neural network architectures and learn **essential concepts** such as graph convolution, self-attention, link prediction, and heterogeneous graphs. Finally, the book proposes **applications to solve real-life problems**, enabling you to build a professional portfolio. The code is readily available online and can be easily adapted to other datasets and apps.

By the end of this book, you'll have learned to create graph datasets, implement graph neural networks using Python and PyTorch Geometric, and apply them to solve real-world problems, along with building and training graph neural network models for node and graph classification, link prediction, and much more!

## 🔑 What you will learn

* Understand the fundamental concepts of graph neural networks
