I cannot stress this more. Portfolios speak volumes, and if you have yet to start on a project with your new found skills the obvious course of action would be to create your own to start with. When I was starting out with Python I wished t

Take them to some drinks, and be sure to drink more. If you felt good with them during the ordeal, then that's a sure sign. Never wear your geek hat doing these types of things, you'll be putting them through the technical sieve and that, a

1. You are inferior, that's a non-changing fact, so get over it. Everybody is inferior relative to somebody else, just as everybody is superior relative to somebody else; it's just how you compare people. 2. You will get better on what you

I'm stuck and a bit unmotivated to create new things. I just busy myself brushing up on my maths ATM, because I'm interested in machine learning, but can't understand the concepts needed to formulate even the most basic of the applications.

Just stick to your job for another year, and continue with your android self-study. Don't just study android, also the basics of programming and computer science, and try to apply them on android development. I know that's far too time cons

I'm interested. This can be a group (more than 2 people) activity, right? I'm thinking of a Khan academy approach, not necessarily videos, but exchange of resources and insights as we go into the book.

Thanks! For an achievable short term goal I just wish to use the libraries first so I can roll my own simple apps. This way I get to learn the basics while making use of what I already know (build web apps). An integration of sorts, should

I believe this to be sound advice, so what I'm actually thinking of right now is to go and pace slowly on the math/theory, while starting a super beginner project to get my feet wet.

Bookmarked! Thanks! I know Machine Learning is a subset of AI, but lately I'm beginning to see it more of under Statistics. That's just my impression, I could really be wrong given my very limited knowledge.
