   I would start with the nano degree program if you don't have any prior knowledge of ML. Udacity has a Linear Algebra review course, but I don't believe it is public for now. I had taken a linear algebra course before I took the GT

   This reminds me of Wilson, Arkansas but that town sold for quite a bit more. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/20/us/arkansas-towns-new-owne...

   I typically hate ranking lists like this, since I believe student completion rates are more important than enrollment. However, I did find some joy in finding a new MOOC I could add to the backlog of courses I need to take.

   I like Real World Functional Programming by Tomas Petricek if you are already doing C# development.

   I don't think it's far to compare any city to New Orleans. I think everyone from the South is a little bit jealous of the culture of New Orleans. It's just a amazing place.

    FAKE is awesome. The entire F# ecosystem is pretty impressive.

    I have only used F# for a couple months, but I have a decent background in ML thanks to the Dan Grossman's incredible programming languages course. https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang I would say that if I ca

    I think the TAs/graders will start to scale. There are some amazing TAs in this program. From my experience, I think some of the best are also current students in the program. I think the network effect of having so many students will

    Sometimes, you want to spend your money supporting a company that supports the development of Linux. Dell and Google have a better record on this front, and the XPS 13 and the new pixel are "solid gear".

    I am glad they gave this model a reboot. If I was in the market for a new linux laptop, this would be a my number one choice over the XPS13 as a close second. I am glad more companies like Dell and Google are supporting linux.

    That must be CS6505 after the drop date. I joke, I think we had at least 200 people in that class, but there was a good amount who dropped. I am guessing you are in CS6290, or one of the newer courses.

    I took a machine learning course last spring, and I also had the choice of language to use. I thought about Julia, but I just felt I was going to be taking on to much in a short amount of time. I ended up using Weka for parts of the class,

    No, most ABET school's require those courses. Also, if you ever try to get your FE/EIT you will need those courses.

    I am assuming he means at a undergraduate level. If you need a probability and statistics book to refresh, I can recommend "All of Statistics" by Wasserman.

    I used this book in my Machine Learning course last spring at Georgia Tech. I wouldn't consider it out of date. It is missing a few topics like SVMs that we covered, but otherwise it's a good introduction.

    I disagree. I believe that the foundation you will learn in statistics, linear algebra, and other mathematics would be worth the effort to any computer scientist. You would enjoy the introduction Machine Learning courses on Udacity or Cours

    I don't know if Swift would be the best language to learn programming. Python is probably a better option. I would avoid platform specific languages until you are hired to work in that space. Open platforms like Python are much easier
