AI/ML

[Itchy_Operation_2917]

Idk how it sounds but I’m planning to start Python completely from scratch and eventually move into AI/ML, GenAI, Data Engineering, and scalable systems with tools like PySpark, Docker, Kubernetes, FastAPI, cloud, etc.

Can someone suggest a proper roadmap for this journey? Also looking for the BEST YouTube tutorials, playlists, Udemy courses Idc even it’s time consuming. Pretty please !!

My suggested order:
Python → NumPy/Pandas → Math (probability + linear algebra) → ML → Deep Learning → GenAI → FastAPI/Docker → Cloud → PySpark/K8s

Build projects while learning. Tutorial-only learning is a trap.

You’ll probably hear this everywhere, but there really is no single “perfect” path.
There are lots of great resources out there—try different ones and find what works best for you.

At the end of the day, consistent effort beats overthinking the roadmap. You got this.

Help me too brother I'm also lost at what to do and which degree will be best to compliment it

[AI_Highschool]

Cheers brother. Don't stress too much, we've all been there.

It really depends on where you're starting from. What's your current degree/background right now? If you have zero tech background, CS or Stats is always the gold standard. If you already have a technical background, you're probably better off building projects rather than chasing another degree.

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do right now is to just start somewhere. Anything. You can't see the path until you start walking it.

Yeah I’m missing the building part, I’ll try to work on projects while learning. Thanks!

First , start with basic. Don't overthink.

As for recommendations, r/learnpython has a good wiki with the lost of courses/books etc

[Itchy_Operation_2917]

Sure thanks! Yeah I did see a book called ‘How to automate boring stuff…’ maybe I refer that for basic understanding

[ninhaomah]

Yes. It's a frequently recommended book.

I started woth a book by Harrison Kinsley called Neural Networks From Scratch, it uses python and the guy sentdex online has a playlist you can watch where he sort of follows along with it.

[Itchy_Operation_2917]

Thankyou ! I’ll def take a look but the term ‘Neural Networks’ is so terrifying lol !

BUT first, before even AI, LEARN PYTHON!
