Here’s what I consider to be a pretty good deal for the aspiring AI developer: for $18, Humble Bundle’s The A-Z of Machine Learning provides 19 video courses from Packt Publishing on all sorts of machine learning topics:
You may have had the expression pictured above when you saw that The A-Z of Machine Learning comes from Packt. I’d be suspicious too, and I was a technical reviewer for one of their books!
My new gig doing developer relations for HP’s ZGX Nano AI station will require me to create a lot of tutorials, so I purchased The A-Z of Machine Learning as well as the Humble Bundle below to get a better feel for the sorts of AI tutorials that are out there.
Having gone through a couple of the courses in The A-Z of Machine Learning and skimming the others, I can say that it’s not bad. I’d feel robbed if I paid full price for all 19 courses, but at 18 bucks — less than a buck each — it’s a pretty good deal, and a decent way for the beginning AI/ML developer to get their feet wet.
At the time of writing, The A-Z of Machine Learning will be available for 14 more days.
Also worth checking out is the Create the Future Now bundle, a set of 21 books and online courses from Manning’s Early Access Program (or MEAP for short) for $25:
-
Open Source LLMs on Your Own Computer: 3 Project Series (liveProject)
-
Four AI Algorithm Projects with Python: 4 Project Series (liveProject)
-
Modern CSS for a Portfolio Page: 4 Project Series (liveProject)
-
Build Your First Microservice: 3 Project Series (liveProject)
-
Building an AI Voice Assistant: 4 Project Series (liveProject)
-
Moving to C#: 4 Project Series (liveProject)
This one’s a little pricier that the Packt offering, but it’s from Manning, which has a stronger reputation than Packt’s, and goes beyond just Python and AI. If you’re looking for a mix of books and online lessons and want to be a little more well-rounded, this Humble Bundle is for you!
(I also purchased this bundle.)
