Jeremy - First of all, I just want to say thanks to you and Rachel for the course(s). I worked through part 1 (2017 version) last year and it was fantastic.
I've got part 2 on my to-do list for this year. Looking at the 2018 part 1 course, quite a lot has changed (from Keras to Pytorch?) from a code perspective in comparison to the 2017 part 1 course. If I want to start part 2, does it make sense to go-ahead with the 2018 version? Are there any 2018 part 1 lessons you recommend to bridge any gaps from the 2017 part 1 before I start 2018 part 2?
Thanks!
- gcmac 8y agoNot Jeremy (obviously) but having taken both versions of the course I would definitely recommend jumping into the 2018 version. The core content is the same (image recognition, recommender systems, NLP) but the 2018 version uses more cutting edge tools and has a tighter feel (as a v2 of anything usually does).

- apohn 8y agoThanks. I'll go straight to 2018 part 2. Looking forward to it!
