books: add Deep Learning for Solving and Estimating Dynamic Models - #253
Merged
Conversation
Adds Simon Scheidegger's graduate lecture script to the /books page as a community book, linking to the MyST MD version hosted at sischei.github.io. Source repo: github.com/sischei/Deep_Learning_for_Solving_And_Estimating_Dynamic_Economic_Models The cover is taken from the repo's assets/hero and stored twice: the full 1055x1491 cover, and a 300px-wide thumbnail that the card actually references (the card renders it at 100px). Both are re-encoded to a 256-colour palette, which is visually indistinguishable at these sizes and takes the full cover from 2.0 MB to 361 KB. Inserted at order 3 so the three books flagged new group together, which bumps Dynamic Programming Volume I to 4 and Economic Networks to 5.

Adds a new community book entry to the Jekyll projects collection so it appears on the site’s /books/ grid, and reorders existing books so the “NEW” items remain grouped at the top.
Changes:
- Added a new
_projects/deep-learning.mdbook entry (community category) linking to the MyST-rendered site and using the new thumbnail image. - Adjusted
orderfor existing book entries to accommodate the new item while keeping “new: true” books at the top of the sorted grid.

) Implements jstac's suggestion in #253: Volume II has been out long enough to take off its NEW badge, Simon Scheidegger's Deep Learning book moves to the top-left slot, and the two Dynamic Programming volumes now sit together on the second row of the 2-column grid, Volume I on the left and Volume II on the right. Resulting order: Deep Learning (1, new), Quant Macro Finance (2, new), DP Volume I (3), DP Volume II (4), Economic Networks (5). Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds Simon Scheidegger's Deep Learning for Solving and Estimating Dynamic Models in Economics and Finance to the /books page as a community book.
The card links to the MyST MD version at sischei.github.io/Deep_Learning_for_Solving_And_Estimating_Dynamic_Economic_Models. Source repo: https://github.com/sischei/Deep_Learning_for_Solving_And_Estimating_Dynamic_Economic_Models

Two things worth a look from a reviewer:
<a>, so there is no way to add a second link to the GitHub source repo without nesting an anchor. The card links only to the MyST site. Adding a source link would need a layout change.Verified with a local
bundle exec jekyll buildand a headless screenshot of/books/: the entry renders third, with the NEW badge and the correct thumbnail.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
