It was good. I am amazed by Vivek's breadth of knowledge. Sometimes, Vivek is kind of clunky in his approach. But it was good for me. Use https and grab each chunk? Use fetch instead. A couple of times, changes Amazon had made threw me. But I was able to right the ship. I really appreciate Vivek's mention of how one thing is related to another. One of the banes of my existence is step by step by step explanations. I end up knowing how to do one specific thing. But without understanding the relationships or the structure, I just stand there paralyzed, which asked to do something new, out of my own head, or out of my customer's requirements. Vivek avoids this problem! Well done, Vivek.

Instructor Bio

I have spent almost two decades building software applications and doing infrastructure management. Understanding both software and hardware has given me a leverage over creating solutions that talk nicely to each other and are automated and reliable.

I have always been fascinated about Artificial Intelligence, and in early 2000s, inspired by a chatterbot called A.L.I.C.E, I built a voice activated bot called LISA which could do some basic tasks like checking weather or arithmetic calculations.

Now, the technology landscape has changed exponentially, and I believe that we are moving into a very new and nascent artificial intelligence aware world. Building systems and having meta skills to build interfaces that can interact with machines will help us collectively mature as species.

I am pretty excited about the change taking shape, and sharing information through courses is my way of contributing back on what I learnt. I hope you get value out of the courses I provide, and you gain much more fundamentally to build superior systems.
