NoteHow this book works

Every chapter is a Jupyter notebook or QMD file meant to be run top to bottom, not just read. Along the way you will see four recurring markers:

Marker Purpose
Key Concept The core idea, precisely defined
Activity Hands-on challenge: fill in the ... yourself before moving on
Common Mistake A bug pattern worth recognising on sight
Pro Tip A production-grade habit
Act 1  ·  Build the Foundation

Language, data wrangling, and engineering practices

Act 2  ·  Master the Models

Classical ML, deep learning, and large language models

  • 04Classical MLsoon
  • 05Deep Learningsoon
  • 06LLMssoon
Act 3  ·  Ship to Production

MLOps pipelines, CI/CD, and production monitoring

  • 07MLOpssoon
  • 08Production Monitoringsoon
Act 4  ·  Design for Impact

Scalable ML systems and value-driven AI

  • 09ML System Designsoon
  • 10Value-driven AIsoon

Parts are released chapter by chapter as each reaches the same standard as Acts 1–3.  View source on GitHub
