I continued to look for free materials on Python 3 with AI/machine learning applications. While it’s definitely possible to find and gobble together a string of free resources, it didn’t really work for me and I felt I was spending a lot of time just doing so. I decided to enroll in the Udacity nano degree program on AI programming with Python. After I confirmed that we were going to learn Python 3 specifically and […]
I have fulfilled my lifelong dream of becoming an M.I.T. graduate!!! Kidding, it’s only a certificate, but it was a fun experience. I enrolled in the Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Business Strategy online course at M.I.T. I really enjoyed the course. It was a 6 week course, outline below: Module 1: An introduction to artificial intelligence (history, collective intelligence, how to gain strategic advantage Module 2: Machine learning in business (how ML can be be applied […]
In my search for good online coding courses, I came across this very helpful guide/review and was curious to see Udacity’s platform, so I decided to take a look at this free course. Right off the bat, the style is completely different than Codecademy. It was more about identifying a problem and using google searches to identify applicacle coding functions. It also uses the Python program, rather than an in-platform design. This is good because […]
Codecademy offers a 7 day trial period and I immediately started the Python 10 hour course. The platform is useful and consists of three panes: instructions and examples, script editor, and the console showing the results of the script. Within an hour or so, I was able to write a short Mad Libs script, which worked in the Codecademy console: """ This program generates passages that are generated in a cool mad-lib format Author: Johan […]
To further my understanding of AI and business uses, I started to do research both in the legal vertical and others. Although there are many resources available for free, I felt that a structured course would be better for me because of my demanding schedule. I had taken online courses through Coursera (business analytics with UPenn’s Wharton School of Business) and felt comfortable with the format. Online learning is not for everyone, but I like […]
