Course Review: AI Python for Beginners: Basics of AI Python Coding (DeepLearning.AI)

While I have taken many of the more advanced DeepLearning.AI short courses, why did I take this short course, despite 25+ years of coding experience (6+ in Python)?

• Interesting Content: The course offers a fresh perspective on coding, especially for beginners or less-technical learners.
• Free Access and Snappy Delivery: It's accessible to everyone without any cost and presents the material in a short and sharp manner.
• AI Coding Companion: Introduces a new way to approach coding with a built-in AI assistant that assists and fixes errors.

Highlights:

• Practical Approach: The course is very hands-on, with practical and immediate applications of LLMs.
• Enthusiastic Instruction: As always Andrew’s warmth and encouragement make the learning process enjoyable and foster curiosity.
• Understanding Jupyter: Explains what Jupyter notebooks are and demonstrates their functionality as a platform to run Python.

Learning Approach:

• On-Demand Syntax: Learn just enough syntax to complete and understand the exercises, building on this knowledge progressively.
• LLM Integration: Use the LLM in the code to complete tasks and the ChatBot companion (LLM) to look up solutions and fix errors.
• The ChatBot has a curated set of capabilities to keep learners focused :)
