The choice of TensorFlow is a bit disappointing for a beginner-focused course which looks really solid otherwise. Business seems to have gotten priority over pedagogy in that case.

I see TensorFlow as the Angular of machine learning: first on the market, powerful but unwiedly. Like Angular, it will ultimately get superseded by tools with a nicer API (scikit-learn, Keras) or more versatility (PyTorch). Like Angular, it's probably not the best choice for a beginner to invest time into.

Add to that that TensorFlow was practically a latecomer, not the first to market.
