I'm very interested in giving these classes a shot when they become available. I have been working on a tool (for 4 years now) for a hockey simulation that tracks growth of players and I try to do some predictive analysis, but I have limited knowledge on that subject. I would love to use proper ML techniques to predict player success based on the data points I capture. I'm fine to use Amazon's cloud services for the course, but I hope they are not required. That will severely limit the usefulness of the course for me.
