Gonna play Devil's Advocate here: is this the correct way to lower the barrier to entry? This is like trying to teach monads without having taught lambda calculus, functors, and applicatives. There is a clear order to knowledge, and people should master the books dealing with prereqs if they want to grok deep learning. Not jump into deep learning, just because it's the hot shit. Part of these efforts to cheaply popularize CS makes computer science not a real field. Just a fad. Nobody will write a book called "Grokking Quantum Physics" claiming that explaining quantum like "you are a five year old" will somehow cover for the necessary mastery of classical physics. If you read such a book and think you understand quantum physics, you are terribly misguided. Dunning-Kruger addicts people to feeling like they have mastered a subject, without putting in the effort. Little learning is a dangerous thing.
