2. learn more about basics CS knowledges like algorithms, data structures.
3. Figure out what is Machine Learning. Maybe learn some Discrete and Linear Algebra for better understanding, but first I'll write some code using frameworks.

#306Growth hacking. I'd like to learn how to sell a SaaS product[1] to businesses. I'd also like to explore content strategy and marketing. As a software developer joining a new 2-person startup, this is uncharted territory for me. Looking forward to the experience. [1] https://www.metriculator.com

He wants to get into the practical application of machine learning, not machine learning theory. This is a common mistake people new to the field make. You can be very successful by learning how to use machine learning frameworks, and that doesn't require lots of probability theory, mathematical statistics, and optimization. Not that it hurts. vayarajesh, start using Tensorflow, you'll reach the ability to reason abo…
