AI Engineering
Beginner-friendly resources to get into AI engineering. Basic programming experience assumed.
Learn Machine Learning
Optional for building AI apps, but great for intuition about what’s happening under the hood when you build agents.
- Stanford CS229 Series on YouTube: Lectures by Andrew Ng; solid introduction to core ML concepts.
- Deep Learning with Python: Approachable deep learning intro with code‑first explanations and minimal math.
Build AI Apps and Agents
- Hugging Face Agents Course: Hands‑on tutorials for building AI apps and agents.
- Intro to Agents Video Series: My YouTube series covering beginner‑to‑intermediate agent topics.
Literature
I’m a nerd for French and Hispanic literature. Recommended:
- A Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez: Gateway to the Latin American Boom and magical realism.
- Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges: Short stories with fantasy, realism, and literary-mathematical thinking.
- Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert: A beautifully written classic of French literature.
- Le Vol d’Icare by Raymond Queneau: Playful tale of a character who leaps off the page of his book.
- Romancero Gitano by Federico García Lorca: Poems inspired by Andalusia.
