The Advent of Deep Neural Networks. Neural Network implementation without ML libraries and extending them with Tensorflow.

Description:
The focus is more on teaching core concepts to programmers rather than using libraries. More than one neural network will be implemented.
An Easy way to learn Machine Learning
An interactive way to learn ML. With ML being a leading platform in the market, the workshop introduces to one of the most important fields of Machine Learning that is Deep Neural Networks. Only basic introduction to Mathematics required.

While I have been programming for more than a decade, my chosen language for the lesser half of the decade has been C++, with a wandering interest in Java, MySql, PHP and Ruby. The last few years were spent in cultivating the language we now all know as Python. The enamoured feasibility of the language over C++ and the ease of understanding over PERL. While being a bit slower due to being it's interpreted nature, better speed benchmarks are being discover by it's PyPy implementation.
My field of interest is Deep Neural Networks. Machine Learning may perhaps helps us to cure even cancer using gene sequencing.
Apart from that I am an avid reader. I read book from all genres and time. My hobbies include football, music, art, drama and of course, programming.
