AI field and NIPS gettin' WOKE

2018-08-21 11:34:01 UTC  

Hi guys I am a complete noob when it comes to I.T and computer science, but I am interested in learning more about it. Can anyone suggest any good tutorials to watch?

2018-08-21 12:12:44 UTC  

what is your age range?

2018-08-21 12:14:21 UTC  

Age range? I am 24 if that's what you're asking.

2018-08-21 12:14:38 UTC  

alright

2018-08-21 12:14:58 UTC  

like if you were still in high school, idk

2018-08-21 12:15:04 UTC  

And thank you for the link 😃

2018-08-21 12:15:09 UTC  

Nope

2018-08-21 12:15:14 UTC  

😛

2018-08-21 12:15:57 UTC  

i suppose that would be a more formal approach to computer science and programming. alternatively, you could just jump into some coding tutorials

2018-08-21 12:16:34 UTC  

but i think its helpful to have a bit of conceptual background and understand what computational thinking is

2018-08-21 12:16:40 UTC  

I have been suggested to start with SQL (I think its called that)

2018-08-21 12:16:50 UTC  

how to approach solving problems from the perspective of a computer or algorithm

2018-08-21 12:17:11 UTC  

SQL is a very specific language

2018-08-21 12:17:33 UTC  

I have a lot of experience in learning second languages would that kind of thinking benefit me in this field?

2018-08-21 12:17:38 UTC  

personally i would probably suggest Python

2018-08-21 12:18:22 UTC  

Okay

2018-08-21 12:19:15 UTC  

there are many resources, tutorials and courses online, but the most important thing is to just keep coding, studying and practicing

2018-08-21 12:19:40 UTC  

programming can very much be seen as an art, you won't git gud unless you practice

2018-08-21 12:19:42 UTC  

Standard advice then "You get out what you put in" 😛

2018-08-21 12:20:22 UTC  

Thank you for all the advice Picnic 😃

2018-08-21 12:22:43 UTC  

also install a linux VM and get familiar with the terminal

2018-08-21 12:22:58 UTC  

haha

2018-08-21 12:23:02 UTC  

you won't "git" gud

2018-08-21 12:23:15 UTC  

haha

2018-08-21 12:23:19 UTC  

unintentional 😛

2018-08-21 12:23:35 UTC  

dis gitta be eating baked commits

2018-08-21 12:23:41 UTC  

VM is Virtual Machine right?

2018-08-21 12:23:44 UTC  

yes

2018-08-21 12:23:44 UTC  

yep

2018-08-21 12:23:49 UTC  

Cool

2018-08-21 12:23:56 UTC  

assuming you run windows currently

2018-08-21 12:24:02 UTC  

gentoo lads unite

2018-08-21 12:24:05 UTC  

just use Ubuntu

2018-08-21 12:24:10 UTC  

sad

2018-08-21 12:24:12 UTC  

it is the most beginner friendly linux

2018-08-21 12:24:57 UTC  

Yep Windows 10 unfortunately
