Our Rockstars Are Not Like Your Rockstars, or Andrew Ng is back

Do you remember Andrew Ng?
I am going to remind you anyway.
Six years ago University of Stanford launched three online software courses called Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Introduction to Databases. (I registered for ML and DB then). The courses were so successful that it allowed Andrew Ng and another Stanford professor, Daphne Koller, launch Coursera a little while later and start all the MOOC craziness. (Now of course it is a huge online learning platform, together with Udemy, EDX, Codecademy, Egghead.io etc., but it was the pioneer in online education).

So. This is a very quick post just to say that Andrew Ng is back with a whole new specialization called Deep Learning. Unfortunately the first session is already started, but you can always just audit the curse or wait for the next session.

Enjoy!

(It is not Andrew Ng but it is the video that explains that rockstars are different for everyone. And Andrew Ng is definitely a rockstar.)
