This is a repo for me to document my journey taking the tensorflow development certification exam!!
I am trying to document everything I do for the exam, including code to help with my learning! I am giving myself 6 months to try and complete the exam as I am starting pretty much from scratch with this exam (I don't have that much experience with tensorflow), so hopefully this will be a good learning resource for other people.
To do the exam I think you need at least a basic knowledge of python and probably data manipulation in python. If you don't have any of these maybe learn a bit about python, pandas and numpy before continuing as this repo won't cover this.
I am trying to use a variety of resources for this exam (some are free, some I have paid for):
- Canidates Handbook (https://www.tensorflow.org/extras/cert/TF_Certificate_Candidate_Handbook.pdf). This is the curriculum so is essential!! I will try to organise the repo around this.
- TensorFlow Developer Professional Certificate on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/tensorflow-in-practice). Online people who have passed the exam say that this is an essential resource.
- Deeplearn.ai neural networks and deeplearning specialization (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkDaE6sCZn6Ec-XTbcX1uRg2_u4xOEky0). This goes through neural net theory and tensorflow recommends this on their website.
- 3blue1brown maths playlists on youtube (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVFitgF8hE_ab). Tensorflow recommend this on their website.
- AI and Machine Learning for Coders: A Programmer's Guide to Artificial Intelligence by Laurence Moroney. I have to do long commutes on trains and it's nice to have something to read...
- TensorFlow Developer Certificate in 2021: Zero to Mastery from udemy (https://www.udemy.com/course/tensorflow-developer-certificate-machine-learning-zero-to-mastery/). Udemy massively overcharge for their courses but do regular sales (at least once month) when stuff can be really cheap.
I hope this repo can help others but this repo is primairly aimed to help my learning. I am a linux user so I am doing everything on linux. I can't answer technical questions on how to install tensorflow etc on mac/windows etc (look on stack overflow for this stuff!!).
