Intro -- Starting AI w/ fast.ai – Wayne Nixalo – Medium

I found www.fast.ai in April 2017 and was a bit blown away. An AI course focused on actually getting things done? I was just finishing Yaser Abu-Mostafa's CS1156x'Learning from Data' on edX, and while a great theoretical course, it did cut down a lot of my enthusiasm for Machine Learning. I guess learning to code in Python while writing Linear Regression models by hand has that effect. What really got me about Jeremy Howard's'Practical Deep Learning I' (which I'll call FAI01/FADL1) was that, over and over again, he'd explain a thing, you'd go do it, and all of a sudden you're catapulted to the forefront of applied ML.
