How anyone can get started with Deep Learning on Windows

Deep learning and artificial intelligence are one of the hottest topics in the world today. We see an ever-increasing number of applications that employ deep learning: facial recognition, speech recognition (Siri, 'OK Google', Alexa), Self-Driving Cars, and the list goes on and on. So as a student, fresh employee, team manager, senior management, we get curious: Will this ever-rising wave of AI technology eventually make my job or future career less relevant? That was actually how I stumbled upon the world of Deep Learning years ago, and ended up where I am today: pursuing a postgraduate degree in this field of research. We all have been conditioned to learn things in a certain way: search for information online, sign up for courses, watch tutorials on YouTube. However, the massive and ever-increasing amount of information on this subject is scary, and many of us give up on the pursuit of new, relevant skills quickly.
