Definitely try fast.ai, I also have no formal CS background, am bad at math, etc... and with a little hard work I was able to keep up and do things I never thought possible. You will truly be blown away after even just a month of the class as to what you understand and can build. It is not a domain solely for geniuses, roll up your sleeves and you can be great.
- ammanley 6y agoThanks a lot. What was the most fun you've had with it so far, if I may ask?
- leesec 6y agoAdmittedly, I took the first iteration like 4 years ago, and I've heard it's much improved since then, but the fun part is they get you building real things right away! You build an image classifier in the first lesson. With other ML resources I find they get bogged down trying to explain the concepts/details, and I would usually lose interest before getting to the implementation of things.
- ammanley 6y agoThey've also added a "theory" portion after the practical, which I think is a great way to solidify the concepts scaffolded in building the thing initially. Thank you for your input.
