nice. I'm decent with js, css, jquery, html at the moment, I'm studying php now, then I'm going to practice it all with a few practice social network sites / cms etc. Then maybe learn laravel, and ruby/rails
I don't go to college lol, I mainly take online courses, and study from textbooks that I handpick. Though I'm sure the exchange will still be beneficial
I'm aware they are advanced subjects, it wont be easy, I know that much. I already started out with studying Jeff Heaton's intro to the field, and now studying to get a strong foundation for the field with a great book by this guy: amazon.com/Machine-Learning-Optimization-Perspective-Developers/…
Since I'm more interested in understanding all the nuts and bolts, rather than just using a super high-level library
As far as online courses, I'm enrolled in a free course by a Stanford guy on ML at coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/ and a plethora of courses at udemy (which I got at discounts)
There are a lot of course platforms out there.. edx, udemy, coursera, MIT OCW, udacity
I guess I'm mostly studying in my free time.. one of the 3 subjects I listed. Besides that, music, exercise, good food, stick shift cars, programming projects (java first language), and anime
Since in my current position, I can afford to be a full time scholar
I had pretty strict parents, I used to work to get good grades to appease them, though I didn't get to choose what courses I took. Wasn't the best system.
