This Week at Udacity, Aug 10 edition
Our experts were everywhere this week, talking Deep Learning with Jax Magazine, AI for Finance with I Programmer, Design Systems with Atlassian, and more!
Are you interested in deep learning? Then we’ve got a great article for you, featuring Mat Leonard, the Head of Udacity’s School of AI:
“Deep learning has fundamentally changed how humans interact with machines and it’s clear that AI will impact nearly every industry. Within the next five to ten years, deep learning will be another essential skill in a developer’s toolkit. Now is the perfect time to get involved in the deep learning community, just as the new era in software begins.”
If you’ve got the AI bug, you also might want to check out what I Programmer had to say about our new Artificial Intelligence for Trading Nanodegree program!
“The program, which has been developed in collaboration with top industry professionals with prior experience at JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Millennium Management has been designed to enable students to learn the latest AI applications in trading and quantitative finance through building a portfolio of real-world projects.”
If AI and Deep Learning aren’t quite your thing, then maybe you’d like to dive into some serious Design Thinking? We got you covered there too! This is a Save the Date moment you don’t want to miss:
“We’ll be talking with the design system team at Udacity: the leading online education platform for learning AI, coding, and design. Jennie, Casey, and Fritz will share their history of building and shipping a design system at Udacity: challenges the team faced, how they got buy-in from leadership, how they maintain their system, and much more.”
It’s one of the things I love about working at Udacity, being surrounded by passionate experts everywhere I look! They’re out in the world, but they’re also publishing right here at home! For example, our own David Silver, who heads up our Autonomous Systems team, gave a great introduction to one of our newest Self-Driving Car offerings earlier this week:
And Karim Chamaa, one of the ace Content Developers with the Robotics team at Udacity, penned a wonderful post celebrating the first submission to our KUKA Robotics Challenge:
And Gloria Yen, Content Developer for our Google AdWords Nanodegree program, just made available a fantastic Digital Marketing resource:
Whew! That’s a lot of expert activity. But we’re not done yet! One more feature we simply cannot forget. It’s your favorite part of the week and mine …
