To answer your question naively, then yes, that is all you need.

ARCHEMEDESME:

it does not need to be top notch .I just want to start like Mark,the same way he created the basic version of Facebook and other developers finished up his work

stanliwise:
ok then go ahead. Don't fret, it wouldn't kill you, it will only make you stronger.

Are programming video lectures better than books

ARCHEMEDESME:

stanliwise:
Yes and No, programming videos give a clearer picture but books are more detailed than videos.

Daejoyoung:

To me, programming videos are certainly better for a start, but you must search for good videos with complete projects.
Combine written tutorials, videos, starkoverflow, as well as the official documentation.

this is a quote by Geoffrey Hinton, where he was been interviewed on its take on deep learning and programming. you can google who he is and try find the interview. it really explain what i am trying to say about programming in this topic.
here is the link to the video

Daejoyoung:

Bro how do you show computers? you mean training them with data via the likes of Tensor flow and Scikitlearn right, isn't that still programming? l sincerely what to understand what you guys mean. l used to think the implementation of deep learning requires programming as well, or is there a deep learning without programming? overlook my ignorance.

Hello, I just started learning python through tutorial videos and I'm a newbie in programming my problem is I forget things I learnt after the videos so this make it so boring, pls how can I improved on it. Thanks

When I see most people still talking about the old python, java, e.t.c. in this our part of the world, I tend to wonder if we are ever going to catch up with the rest of the world in innovations and rapid development.
Don't get me wrong, learning primary languages such as c++, python, java, r programming, e.t.c is essential, but in the present reality, this programming languages is more or less like learning English language, French language, Spanish language, e.t.c.
What should be more of focus is cloud computing, data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, software development, e.t.c. because this are now what set the technology pace.
Ofcos one can't do all these without learning basic programming, but presently nobody writes bogus programming anymore when you can just write a two or few lines of code which will easily execute and give desire result.
In conclusion, I am just trying to let us Africa to look beyond the basic programming of 10years ago and put our focus on the the most essentials like tensorflow, datalab, e.t.c. our pace is too slow, we need to set our priorities right.
In medicals, technologies, weather forecasting, marketing, accounting e.t.c are all been overtaking by a.i and ml. In few more years the most lucrative jobs will be taking by those who understand a.i and ml.

Delete this post, you're are ignorant. AI and machine learning without programming?
That's like taking a bath with no water.

motionarena:
I wonder how op got his job with goggle with d way he is defending his ignorance.

The tensorflow u are defending is built with the same c++ and python u are condemning.
Is like someone who designs websites with wordpress calling html, css and php obsolete.

ARCHEMEDESME:

so all i need is html css bootstrap and php for my project

motionarena:
and JavaScript knowledge to make ur site very interactive.

ARCHEMEDESME:

how interactive can it get

motionarena:
super interactive

helpsystem:

U got me wrong, I said one need to learn a primary language but now u can learn it along with learning a.I and ml. Check courses on deep learning, machine learning and data science on coursers and u will know its part of the curriculum there

helpsystem:

to learn a.i. i will recommend you make use of online learning platforms like coursera.org, udemy.com, e.t.c. mostly these are paid courses. but i can put u through on how to apply for there scholarship. also while doing the courses, if u need my help, i will b available. also try join kaggle.com its a platform for programmers, it will really help too.

NaijaElba:


please can one really learn AI and ML on coursera and understand deeply? what job area employ AL and ML programmer mostly?

Abcruz:



Off course you can understand deeply. It all depends on the courses you're willing to take. Some of them are basics while some are advanced lessons.

A programmer skilled in AI and ML mostly works as a data scientist in an organization.
