Programmers Can Get Into Machine Learning
Last Updated on August 16, 2020
In this post I want to show you that programmers can get into machine learning.
I will show you that learning machine learning can be just like learning any other piece of high technology.
We’ll compare learning machine learning to learning to program in the first place, which may have been an even larger challenge.
A Designer Wants to Code
Pretend you are a designer, say a young web designer. You make web designs in Photoshop or something and maybe snip up designs and turn them into CSS. You hang around programmers and maybe you have a little coding envy. You think you might want to learn how to code. Rightly or wrongly, you think that CSS and HTML are “practically coding”, that it’s all creative expression, that programming is just another medium or outlet for your creativity.
You jump on Quora or StackOverflow and ask a question like “I’m a designer, how can I learn how to code?”
