Hi jeremy,

I am a web dev, JS being my first lang of choice :-), and i have been trying to get into machine learning/deep learning/AI, but I am having a information overload.

I have 0 knowledge about this field, so my question is should i just start with machine learning, instead of jumping right into deep learning ? Or is it ok to jump right into deep learning and is it possible to do all the stuff done with machine learning with deep learning ?

Just like when a person who shows an interest on learning to code I refer them to Python instead of C++, what do you recommend ?

Just jump in with this course. Your background in web dev will be really helpful, but there will be plenty of new concepts to learn - don't try to understand everything perfectly the first time through, but just try to complete each week's assignments as best as you can. You'll need to learn python and numpy along the way, but there's plenty of free online resources you can refer to when you see something you don't understand. And use http://forums.fast.ai of course.

You can then go back through them a 2nd time and do a deeper dive. By that time, our Intro to Machine Learning course will be out too :)
