Day 1 - Daily Dev Diary

Actually, the post is for yesterday, as it's already over 12o'clock. But, you know devs, the day is over when you sleep so, the title - Day 1
So, today, till noon I did my college Python AssignmentšŸ“ which was mostly based on OOPs concepts focusing on Inheritance.
After I was done with the assignment I did some YogašŸ§˜ā€ā™‚ļø and ate lunchšŸ±.
Then, I started taking advantage of the šŸ¤©free week provided by DataCamp to get started in the field of ML/DL and Data Science. Today I learned 2 major topics:

  1. Importing data from different file formats such as flat files(like .txt, .csv), files native to other software(like .xlsx, .dta, .sas7bdat, .mat) and from relational databases such as SQLite and PostgreSQL.
  2. Cleaning Data which included concepts like diagnosing issues(such as outliers, missing values, and duplicate rows), reshaping and tidying data(using techniques such as pivoting and melting), and combining datasets.
I was about to get boredšŸ™„ of studyingšŸ™‡ā€ā™‚ļø when I decided to change the topic a little bit and started finishing off the Python Specialization by the University of Michigan on Coursera(still waiting for Dr. Chuck to assess DB assignment of the 4th course of the specialization). This refreshed my mind as I attempted the quizzes and did assignments(Only Honor Assignment remaining now).

Tomorrow's goal is to complete learning Data Cleaning from DataCamp and advance in my NanoDegree on Udacity which is also šŸ¤©free only for this month šŸ˜œ. 

Now it's getting really late so going to šŸ›Œ.

Data Scienceā€Š

Data Scienceā€Šā€”ā€Šincluding machine learning, data analysis, and data visualization First of all, letā€™s review what machine learning  is . I think the best way to explain what machine learning is would be to give you a simple example. Letā€™s say you want to develop a program that automatically detects whatā€™s in a picture. So, given this picture below (Picture 1), you want your program to recognize that itā€™s a dog. Picture 1 Given this other one below (Picture 2), you want your program to recognize that itā€™s a table. Picture 2 You might say, well, I can just write some code to do that. For example, maybe if there are a lot of light brown pixels in the picture, then we can say that itā€™s a dog. Or maybe, you can figure out how to detect edges in a picture. Then, you might say, if there are many straight edges, then itā€™s a table. However, this kind of approach gets tricky pretty quickly. What if thereā€™s a white dog in the picture with no brown hai...

Learning Path for Deep Learning in 2019 Here is a high-level overview of the core concepts you should and master in the deep learning sphere: Getting Started:  Deep learning is a vast field made up of several components. So to kick off your learning journey, it is recommended to start from the ground up. The first month will be all about understanding what deep learning means, covering basic descriptive statistics and probability concepts, and learning Python! Machine Learning Basics:  The logical next step in our learning path takes you into the world of machine learning. This includes techniques like linear regression, logistic regression, and regularization methods. Deep learning cannot be truly grasped until you know the core concepts of linear algebra and calculus, so complement your skill-set with an introduction to matrices, vectors and derivatives. Introduction to Deep Learning and Keras:  This is what youā€™ve been waiting for! March is ...

Interview Prep

06/03/19 Fizz Buzz Implementation Fizz Buzz is a very simple programming task, asked in software developer job interviews. A typical round of Fizz Buzz can be: Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100 and for multiples of '3' print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of '5' print "Buzz". 1, 2, Fizz, 4, Buzz, Fizz, 7, 8, Fizz, Buzz, 11, Fizz, 13, 14, Fizz Buzz, 16, 17, Fizz, 19, Buzz, Fizz, 22, 23, Fizz, Buzz, 26, Fizz, 28, 29, Fizz Buzz, 31, 32, Fizz, 34, Buzz, Fizz, ...
