AI Demystified — A Free Course

You hear more and more about AI every day. Maybe it’s the xigtillion dollars everyone is investing 🤑 Or maybe you saw a tweet where someone made an app do something mind-blowing 🤯 Or maybe… just maybe… you have no idea what everyone’s talking about, so you’re being extra nice to all your devices so they’ll spare you in the great AI uprising of 2035 🤖🤖🤖!

The thing is, I understand your situation completely!

As a programmer for 20 years, and when everyone first started to talk about AI and Machine Learning, I found the whole conversation to be inaccessible. I was told to take months of online courses, remember all my linear algebra/calc classes, and even re-code outdated algorithms by hand!

I don’t want to be a negative person but… the on-boarding really sucked.

I just wanted to know enough to come up with cool ideas. I wanted to see a new AI breakthrough and not feel like a complete moron. I wanted the concepts explained in a friendly way!

As an open-source maintainer, I subscribe strongly to the adage:

“Don’t complain, Create.” — Tina Roth Eisenberg

So I created a resource for people getting started. I made an online course to help people wrap their heads around a significant portion of the AI they see in the world, today. No throwing around fancy words; we actually navigate through a bunch of exciting examples with fun exercises at the end of each day. It only takes about 30 minutes a day. At the end, you even get a cool certificate!

I LOVE ❤️ FEEDBACK. So try the course out and if you like it, let others know.

It’s pretty easy to take the course by yourself. To make sure the ideas settle into your brain, we do enforce that each day unlocks after 24hrs. This helps stop people from blowing through everything just to get another certificate for their LinkedIn profile. If you take the course, take the time to enjoy it!

If you’re a socialite, you can take the course with friends. Maybe with a group on Twitch, as Chris Biscardi did, or just watch his fun videos!

However you choose to consume the course info, I hope it helps. Be sure to mention me and Infinite Red Academy in your tweet when you post your certificate and complete the course!

Infinite Red Academy is our solution to information burnout. Online courses for busy devs who need practical advice from real-world experience.
