Any versions of this course planned for R Programmers?

Python is one of the simplest languages to learn. I do this course as a hands-on lab with people who discover Python programming at the same time as they discover neural networks. I ask them to read this "Python 3 in 15 min" primer beforehand and they are good to go: https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python3/

I appreciate the link. I haven't used it in a couple of years. It will be a good refresher and will look forward to the course.

Thx :)

Very few people use R for deep learning.

There's a tensorflow R port, but it requires setting up a working version of tensorflow on python. So once you have that set up, all the documentation, error messages etc are for python - so you might as well just use python.

I understand and will try to reproduce in R what I learn in the course as I have an interest in R, too.

Thx for the info.
