    Dense Networks

    <p><span style="color: rgb(36,41,47);background-color: rgb(255,255,255);font-size: 16px;">Dense networks are the basic form of a neural network, where every input is connected to an output. These can also be called fully connected networks.</span> In this lesson, you'll learn how to build a dense neural network from scratch using Python.</p>

    Classification with Neural Networks

    <p><span style="color: rgb(31,35,40);background-color: rgb(255,255,255);font-size: 16px;">In this lesson, you'll learn how to train neural networks for classification tasks. Classification is how we get neural networks to categorize data for us. Classification is used by language models like GPT to predict the next word in a sequence. </span></p>

    Recurrent Networks

    <p>Learn how to use neural networks to take in sequences of input and make predictions. A sequence of input can be a sentence made up of words, or a series of weather observations.</p>

Dataquest starts at the most basic level, so a beginner can understand the concepts. I tried learning to code before, using Codecademy and Coursera. I struggled because I had no background in coding, and I was spending a lot of time Googling. Dataquest helped me actually learn.

I liked the interactive environment on Dataquest. The material was clear and well organized. I spent more time practicing then watching videos and it made me want to keep learning.

I really love learning on Dataquest. I looked into a couple of other options and I found that they were much too handhold-y and fill in the blank relative to Dataquest's method. The projects on Dataquest were key to getting my job. I doubled my income!
