[Jonathan Jeckell]

Gives a decent overview of how natural language processing works and builds on it. It includes code for various steps, and finally how to use Google and Microsoft APIs for your application so you can skip most of this and let the API do the nug work for you. The code is in C# and some day I am going to need to re-read this book and try to apply the code in Python and C++ myself.

Outdated for the current day context, but is a good glimpse into the field back then.
