I am currenly studying Civil Engineering, but i want to learn ML because it fascinates me. As a third year eng student, the maths doesnt bother me to much.

I’ve just started working through Automate the Boring Stuff, to learn python. But should i finish this book, or should i just sign up to something like Dataquest and learn as i go? My concern is that it isn’t really aimed at people who want to get into ML so how much of the knowledge is relevant. I also plan on doing Andrew Ng’s course in the future, but just want to get some opinions on the best path to learn and how much conventional programming knowledge is required.

Also what are your thoughts on the MIT 6.001 and 6.002 courses for someone who’s new to programming and interested in machine learning Thanks guys

So I wanted to make a blog where I just post about the things I make and how I made them. I write and try to explain things in a way that is easy for beginners or people who want theory to understand. I try to include lots of pictures of what’s going on and all sorts of eye candy (if I can).

I just want to reach people who are interested in AI like me, and want somewhere to start or break in. It’s small and new, so feedback and a feel for if people are interested at all would be useful! If you know anyone else who would be interested, please send them the link.
