For those interested in a deeper dive to just deep learning, "Tensorflow and deep learning - without a PhD" is really good, and covers a lot of material in a single 2hr talk.

Which languages and libraries does it use? Is it based in Google libs, like Tensor Flow?

I wonder if they are doing this to complete with course.fast.ai

Clicking through to the homepage, the full title is: "Machine Learning Crash Course with TensorFlow APIs".

I've been itching to learn a bit about the industry and to be able to create & train ML models myself; I'm glad Google decided to put out a course where I wouldn't have to worry about the quality of instruction.

This has been an internal course at Google for many years.

IMO teaching people ML is good in general for Google. 1. it spreads the use of tensorflow, 2. it increases not only tensorflow, but also Google's mindshare, 3. it trains people that may become future Google employees, and/or serves as a useful resource for existing employees

Unless you have already invested a lot of time into learning (and building on top of) TF, I would advise to pick up PyTorch. It’s much easier to learn and use (imperative!), and has higher performance on common workloads.
