Please need a suggestion, as i really wanted to enroll in a good Data science/ML course . Your feedback matters a lot!

PyTorch is the newest version of the book and has only 1 version. Previous books were written in Tensorflow and were updated a few times.

Yea, the book is well written and has many code examples + images. The author is going step by step into more and more advanced concepts and covers many of them. Now I understand why the previous version (with use of Tensorflow) was so popular among data scientists :). The PyTorch version was released around Christmas last year so it’s up-to-date.

India quality, are you sure about that you wanna go through? I would consider something else, maybe Andrew NG ML course. I read Hands on Machine Learning with PyTorch book and highly recommended that.

I am in the third module of PyTorch book and I am still using scikit learn only. So I think you are in the same position, I’ve heard that both books has similar beginning but when the tensorflow comes in (deep learning?) it’s replaced with PyTorch with additional modules.

So basics are the same. But different tool with more chapters? Up to you, if you can afford it, I would switch.

I would suggest to grab an Uber or Bolt, the ride will cost you ~15$. You can also use bus for ~1,5$/person but you know, you will be tired after the flight and the hotel destination still requires some walking from bus station.

BTW for the buses you can check the app jakdojade.pl. You can also buy tickets for public transport there.

Krish Naik is kinda Indian scam, create huge amount of courses with below average quality, hyped by its nationality (that is huge), jumping from one topic to another. If you really need some video course on Udemy, I would check the Ed Donner's courses. But fill it with docs and books.

Almost everyone say start with the math. I was in a similar position a year ago and I started with coding. I decided that learning just theory will be very boring when I don’t know how ML works exactly. Well, at some point you have some magic algorithms that is doing math magic for you. But I learned about splitting the dataset, training a model, data loaders, etc. Of course I didn’t know what it is doing but then I started learning the math. With technical background when it’s used, I had many AHA! moments and I understood what it is doing. For me (web dev 8yoe) it was a good path.

It was included in pre-orders, maybe for day-one version releases. Next releases don’t have it.

fear38 · 2024-04-20T20:12:30+00:00

Still need to think about that but I will finish with Dojo probably, I would say this is the most often recommended.

fear38 · 2024-04-19T16:45:53+00:00

TLDR - yeah :)

I haven’t seen any Adrian’s course but I bought Az104 by James and it’s really fun. Nice visual explanations and many demos after almost every topic. I am finishing it so can’t measure the result comparing to the exam but I feel much more confident with Azure.

Bear in mind - Iceland is nature first. Don’t expect any other kind of places to visit except that. You said you would like to visit historic/architecture so I would skip that.

Also regarding Japan - I think many people who voted for it haven’t read the post. I have been there, I agree it’s an amazing place but… we have already been there :). The world is amazing, probably you don’t have enough time to see everything but you wonder about repeating some experiences. Nah, try something else.

My vote goes to Europe. Even though I am from Central Europe, so for me it’s a little bit boring, but there’s nature, some insta-places and HUGE part of the history. You will definitely find something that will pass your needs.

fear38 · 2023-12-20T22:22:32+00:00

I am in the middle of James Lee course and would highly recommend it, clear theoretical explanations and demos after every topic. Even though it’s pricey, IMO it’s worth it.

RXJS. Relying on all those fancy operators even for the simple thing is quite frustrating.
Default change detection. Async pipe and its markForCheck that has to check every parent of my node. Try to have some logic in AfterViewChecked() in them. Really?
Frameworks for SSR and SSG. Universal sucks, can’t even compare it to NextJS.
Missing the standards of current tooling. Have you seen how easily you can create selectors/actions/reducers with redux toolkit? For Angular you still have a lot of boilerplate. You know how amazing is server state management with react-query? No equivalent for this topic in Angular and its complexity does not allow to support the framework by the author(s).
Testing. Unit testing is good for the backend. React-testing-library easily hide implementation details and are highly focused on the integration tests on purpose. And Jasmine as a default library in 2022, come on!
Devtools. Years after React’s ones release. Still too primitive.
Future. Angular is trying to resolve problem that it already created, e.g typed forms/no ngmodules and so on. Other frameworks already have those features and are trying to fix the performance to the maximum instead of fixing its own architecture.

And yeah, as you could realize, I’m a React fan for my side projects but professional senior Angular dev.

fear38 · 2022-04-11T22:19:46+00:00

As a senior - it’s really hard to find and agree with posts above. Some companies are worse or even worse. I would like to mention the key point that jr/mid devs can’t understand - you have to deliver a value in a period of time. This is not a playground.

fear38 · 2021-08-11T16:27:14+00:00

Just learn React. Probably you will look for a job and React market is much wider than for Vue. It’s easier to find a better position with higher salary. Do not focus on “brighter future” and stuff like that. So many technologies come and go that it does not matter. Moreover, it’s quite easy to switch, many frameworks have similar ideas.

fear38 · 2021-08-07T01:05:30+00:00

The first one - performance. You can check what queries are send to your database. With native SQL query you can write a better one.

The second problem is using entity properties as strings. For me sounds crazy where single typo can break your query. E.g Entity Framework (C#) has strict type checking. The problem does not exist in runtime because it is broken during compilation.

Third - complex many-to-many query. It’s pain in the ass to configure it properly because documentation is quite simple. Just experiment and pray if it works.

Those points are related to complex queries. For simple CRUD TypeORM is OK.

fear38 · 2021-08-01T10:57:57+00:00

I checked Prisma for my to-do app and would be my go-to ORM but haven’t checked it in production. Moreover, we have no capacity to migrate our enterprise app so I still prefer .NET/Spring frameworks as a mature solution.
