I started the course last weekend and I really appreciate it so far. I don’t have a background in it, I don’t have a college degree, I didn’t even make it very far in high school math! But I’m quite competent with code and I learn best by doing things, then tinkering with them and diving deep to understand how they work so I can do it better. Fast.ai’s course seems to be perfectly tailored for someone like me. I’m sure that the explanations are fascinating but it’s completely alien to me, I need a friendlier entry point. If I can become comfortable with the material in their course, I’m confident that I’ll be more motivated to and capable of understanding at least some of the underlying science. It seems likely that there are many people like me out there.
