Neural Networks by Hand in TensorFlow and PyTorch: Deep Learning Frameworks in Practice — the free Preview

This page is the real first concept of Neural Networks by Hand in TensorFlow and PyTorch: Deep Learning Frameworks in Practice (Signature Course No. 339) — not a trailer and not a video. You work through Concept 1, “A Neuron by Hand,” in a Socratic conversation with an AI coach: she asks before she teaches, builds on your own answers, and holds you to a mastery bar before the concept counts as done.

What this course teaches. Build the same neural network three ways — by hand, in TensorFlow, and in PyTorch — and prove the three agree: neurons, losses, and gradients computed by hand first, then honest data pipelines, evaluation beyond one number, and serving the evaluated model, all on one running problem, Halvern Textile Mills.

How the Preview works. Meet Sutton, our Head Coach, then request your free Preview key — it arrives by email in a moment. Pick your coach (Sutton, Alex, Caroline, Jack, Catherine, or Marcus), hear each one ask this concept’s first question, and begin. One concept, one five-minute conversation, coached exactly as enrolled learners meet it. When you’re ready for all 18 concepts, the full course is $195.
