It can be a new programming language, or learning a new subject or subtopic or whatever. What rules do you follow to pick up the new unknown thing? Story Published at: February 13, 2023 at 08:41AM

It is common knowledge that when first learning programming, one should start with small projects to build something real rather than learning rules and syntax of the language only. Which are some of the best books that take a project based approach in teaching programming to a beginner? Story Published at: January 17, 2023 at 01:24PM

Your choices needn’t be only math books. They can come from any discipline or genre. When you mention any book please add a line or two as to why it made you a better thinker and problem solver. Story Published at: November 30, 2022 at 07:13AM

I came across this article by V.I. Arnold : https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.TP/~munsteg/arnold.html which is rather old. But some of the points mentioned in the article can be related to problems in the classroom today also. People have an idea that being abstract and talking in abstract terms creates some sort of elitism. But it hampers understanding and excitement at the nascent stages. […]

I am giving individual posts more weightage than a blog. You are free to mention the entire blog if you think everything there is worthwhile. Mention some blog posts that you still remember for what it served to you. One example may be this Mechanical Watch description: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/ Story Published at: November 23, 2022 at 04:57AM

Considering that you started programming on your own as a self learner and have found success (whatever that means to you) as a programmer in life, what do you think were the reasons behind that? Was it: 1. Formal CS or Math education alongside or later on? 2. Pure grit and consistency in completing stuff you started 3. Working in […]

The books you mention can be of any genre and from any discipline of life. The important criteria is that they were helpful to you in whatever way you think. Story Published at: September 22, 2022 at 07:31AM

Julia is a language created by academicians. Unlike Python, it is less headachy. Python has weird behaviours scattered all over the place. Still everyone uses Python for Deep Learning (including researchers). Julia is fast, with good syntax and lots of libraries. Infact it has a library called Flux.jl for ML/DL. Yet nobody uses it. Why? No major industry partner has […]

By getting into machine or deep learning I mean building upto a stage to do ML/DL research. Applied research or core theory of ML/DL research. Ofcourse, the path to both will quite different. Standing in 2022, what are the best resources for a CS student/decent programmer to get into the field of ML and DL on their own. Resources can […]
