I'm in the middle of the 3rd lesson... I got really annoyed that you're telling people that they have to convert their pandas DF into numpy arrays to send to sci-kit?? Ummm, no... I gotta wonder if the instructor has ever set up a model before... The AWS stuff is pretty good, I think... I'll revise this when I take the test...
