Hi all, this is my first deal so I'd appreciate any constructive feedback.

I received this coupon for a free course via a newsletter from the course creator and thought I'd share with the wider community.

This course may be of interest to anyone that's looking to learn machine learning using Python, and more specifically those working within the financial/banking industry (or consulting firms with financial/banking clients, such as myself).

The link includes the voucher code to reduce the cost to $0 - I've also included the voucher code separately (CLUB33) in case it doesn't apply for any reason.

The newsletter indicated that this would be a limited-time offer however no details were provided on when the offer would expire.

  The length of the course is really useful for Udemy posts. As in time. A course that offers to teach 'Full Stack Web Development on AWS using Vue' that has 30 minutes of lectures, is, well, not useful.

  This course is 23 hours.

    On the other hand, they often pad their courses out with filler to make them longer as many people assume longer = better. Some shorter ones that are all killer no filler are actually much better,

    Thanks for the feedback, I've added the length in the description and also updated with an expiry date of today (now showing on the website after the voucher's applied).

  But python has no indentions, it's so confusing language, I've even looked at the source code for blender and it's just all globbed together, yet while on unreal engines c++ it all looks cleaner, even when modifying the operators or assigning objects.

  Some would say c++ is harder to understand too, all I'm saying is, with out indentions it's harder to see what's happening.

  But it's free so thanks (◡ ‿ ◡)

    Not only does Python have indentations, but they are more important than in most other languages because they actually have syntactical meaning, rather than just for aesthetics/readability. Instead of wrapping your code blocks in curly braces or similar, you indent them and the indentation has to be correct or your script won't run correctly. Most of Blender is written in C/C++ but the add-ons and some other parts are written in Python.

    Do you see the indentations in these scripts?

    Python is an amazing language for analysing and manipulating large amounts of data, especially the Pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib libraries.

      Well obviously the big factor to indentions to avoid messy code, and compilation errors.

      JavaScript has indentions, c# c++, python is not really a language built purely for indentions, there maybe newer revisions of python but it's never been something I've seen much of.

        You have it completely the wrong way around. Indentation is compulsory in Python while it's optional in most other languages (completely optional in JavaScript for example). You can have messy code in those other languages and your code will still compile. You can't in Python, you must correctly indent your code. It is the only one of those "built purely for indentations".

          @dazweeja: Actually it's bad practice to not use indention, that's pretty much my point… I was actually reviewing the material in-regards to this course don't even encourage indentions, yeah it's scripty.

          https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/intro.ipynb is fascinating, but ahh the material of this course's all over the place, will try and get through it, it has some great algorithm concepts in there so definitely worth it.
