ML is obviously a huge topic. So are you mainly talking about deep learning related stuff?

If that's the case, I'd recommend fast.ai.

For Data Analysis related stuff, just find any O'Reilly book on Pandas.

For Backend Web Dev, look for a book on Flask. It should be very easy to pick up if you've done backend stuff with JS.

In terms of learning Python "syntax", it's honestly really simple. I'd just get a Chat GPT-4 membership and then just copy and paste any syntax you don't understand and ask it to explain it to you.



Thanks for this mate I really appreciate it!

This is pretty much what I am looking for in that regard so thanks

Thanks again, I think I struggle with learning coding from books personally and am definitely more of a learn by breaking kinda person but I will keep this in mind if I get stuck :)

It's funny you say that, this has been my approach so far but with Bard. We do have a GPT subscription at work so I may give that a go too as i have found instances where Bard is obviously wrong even though I do not know the language


Yeah Bard is terrible. Get a subscription to cursor.ai and use gpt-4.

It's a bit pricey at $20 a month but totally worth it.
