Hey everyone! I'm looking for course recommendations to help me transition into AI development/engineering and learn to build real AI products from scratch.
A bit about me: I have a master's degree from a technical university and I'm currently working as a mid-level frontend developer. I have a strong math and analytical background, and I know Python - so I'm not starting completely from zero.
I've been researching courses from well-known universities (MIT, Stanford) and major tech companies (Google, IBM, Amazon), as well as popular platforms like Coursera and similar. Honestly, there's an overwhelming amount of options and it's hard to figure out which ones are actually worth it.
What I'm looking for:
- Heavy emphasis on hands-on coding and building things from scratch
- Minimal fluff/theory - I want to ship stuff, not just understand concepts
- Structured course that forces you to code
- Certificates don't matter to me at all
- Paid or free - doesn't matter
I'd especially love to hear from people who can say "this course genuinely leveled me up and I came out of it actually able to build things." Personal experience over generic recommendations, please.
