RE: The Dirty Secret about Udemy
I didn't realize they were high jacking content like that. They have compelling marketing in a way with the slip stream ads on YouTube that could certainly suck a person in. I have never personally purchased a course on there.
I heard good things about Team Tree House coding courses. they have a 7 day free trial and was thinking about checking it out. Have you ever had experience with that site?
Team treehouse are the best man! I learned how to code Android apps from them. They're courses are nice and well explained, and personally I really enjoyed the fact that they give you actual projects to work on while you learn through the course. Like you don't just sort numbers or do stuff with no actual purpose. They also have a nice forum and some quizzes for you.
That is good to hear! I will certainly have to check out the free trial with them.
TreeHouse is great, not as many courses but good stuff. Lynda is another great resource. But at this point, there isn't much you can't get off YouTube if you look hard enough.
A good course has the advantage of exposing you to a lot of related things you might never know to search for.
Do you have any other great youtubers in mind that create great educating material about coding, neural networks or machine learning?
Yeah, there are a lot.
Kevin Markham is great for intro to Machine Learning (he only focuses on SciKit Learn though, but does a lot of Pandas which is a key skill for more advanced DL).
Jeremy Howard does awesome Deep learning videos.
Deep Learning TV has some good intro videos
SentDex does a lot of Deep Learning/Machine Learning.
Siraj does a lot but I highly recommend staying away, he is kind of the black sheep, he is really popular but is all show he really doesn't know much. Most of his code doesn't work and some is stolen.
Forgot to thank you for the reply. Have you created something yourself with machine learning? How does it compare to just basic coding as a developer experience; is it fun? :)
Yes, I played a lot with Machine and Deep learning, it is a blast. A lot too it, but you can solve some interesting problems not before possible.
Thanks, that's the final push I needed :)
Ok sir
