  1. How many days did it take you - and would you do anything differently, if you read it again for the first time?

⇒ Took me around 45-60 days, one thing I will do is that if I read 20 pages then next day I will read previous 10 pages + 20 of today. Also once i would write code in tensorflow along the book explanation, then on my own i would write it in pytorch.

  1. How much did I learn efficiently?

⇒ That's a good question, I think I grasped around 70% of the book, I kept moving forward as I need to see progress, that way we keep moving without feeling burnout or depressed.

  1. How are you planning to revise the book?

⇒ I am planning to read research papers & revise the topics that come up along the way :)

  1. How's the book ? Do u have 3rd edition of it?

⇒ Book is top notch, it is in chronological order with great projects & neat explanation. Yes mf i have 3rd edition but i won’t share it, just google it bro.

  1. Should i go with the book & then learn pytorch or at the introduction of deep learning i should pivot to other book?

⇒ You can do two things, go with the book until deep learning part as earlier section deals with scikit learn (you will learn that along the book).

For rest part you can either go with the book which I did & learn tensor flow (along the book), After the book u will know the fundamentals, and other topics which is imp than language.

So u can then move to pytorch like I am going to do 🙂

  1. What approach would you suggest for a beginner to understand it better?
