Learn about graph databases and how they work with apps and AI this Thursday at Tampa Java User Group / Tampa Bay AI Meetup!

Join us on Thursday, January 9 at the Entrepreneur Collaborative Center in Tampa where Tampa Java User Group and Tampa Bay AI Meetup will jointly host Neo4j Developer Advocate Jennifer Reif, who’ll present What you need to know: Data, apps, and AI for graph databases!

The tl;dr

The details

Jennifer Reif is a Developer Relations Engineer at Neo4j, who will walk through what a graph database is and how it can transform your applications and data.

Graphs are different from other types of databases because they store relationships between data points. This makes them ideal for applications where the connections between data provides additional context, improving decision-making with existing data.

Join us to learn how to leverage graph databases in your applications and AI projects. Jennifer will talk about creating, querying, and displaying data and learn how to integrate a graph database into applications. Finally, she will discuss how graph databases can be used in AI applications and the strengths they bring to the table. Live code will demonstrate these concepts in action.

Discover how open source solutions are democratizing AI development and deployment. Through live demonstrations, Kevin will showcase:

  • OpenDataHub (OpenShift AI)
  • Kubernetes integration
  • Backstage implementation
  • Java application integration with Open Source models
  • Local development environment setup

When did GitHub Copilot get so snarky?

This actually hasn’t happened…yet. But there are enough people who practice asshole-driven development for there to eventually be an AI code assistant that behaves like this.

365 Data Science’s Data Science and AI courses are free until November 21st!

If you can carve out a little free time every day between now and November 21st, you’ve got the opportunity to take every data science and AI course offered by 365 Data Science for free — and really free, as in they won’t ask you to enter your credit card number.

  • Need to learn basic or intermediate Python? They’ve got you covered.
  • Want to get up to speed with Pandas or Numpy? They’ve got courses for that?
  • Gearing to up get hardcore and learn the mathematics behind machine learning? There’s a linear algebra course, as well as courses for probability and statistics.

I’m quite sure that the hope is that you’ll start some courses, not be able to finish them by the 21st, and then shell out money to continue. They may even have some Black Friday specials happening around that time to entice you to hand over your credit card number.

But what if you put in the time during the free period and really dug in? You might be able to learn a lot of free.

I’m in the middle of a couple of their math courses, and they’re pretty good. Check them out!

Humble Bundle’s “Complete Learn to Code Python and ML” megabundle

Want to learn a lot about Python, whether you’re brand new to the language, or a long-timer? Humble Bundle’s The Complete Learn to Code Python and ML Megabundle might be just what you’re looking for, costs only US$25 for the full set, and is available for another 7 days (at the time of writing — 1:40 p.m. on Monday, October 28, 2024)!

$25 gets you 45 items, all of which are pictured in this post. Some of these items are complete tutorials, while others are simply collections of sample code. I decided to YOLO and simply buy the whole thing.

I’m going to sift through the offerings and write about them over the week here. Watch this blog!

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the megabundle will go towards Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, so you’ll be getting some useful Python info and helping a good cause at the same time.

Check out the megabundle at Humble Bundle!
