Overview of this book

Getting to grips with tensors, deep learning, and neural networks can be intimidating and confusing for anyone, no matter their experience level. The breadth of information out there, often written at a very high level and aimed at advanced practitioners, can make getting started even more challenging. If this sounds familiar to you, The TensorFlow Workshop is here to help. Combining clear explanations, realistic examples, and plenty of hands-on practice, it’ll quickly get you up and running. You’ll start off with the basics – learning how to load data into TensorFlow, perform tensor operations, and utilize common optimizers and activation functions. As you progress, you’ll experiment with different TensorFlow development tools, including TensorBoard, TensorFlow Hub, and Google Colab, before moving on to solve regression and classification problems with sequential models. Building on this solid foundation, you’ll learn how to tune models and work with different types of neural network, getting hands-on with real-world deep learning applications such as text encoding, temperature forecasting, image augmentation, and audio processing. By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to tackle your own ambitious deep learning projects with TensorFlow.

Google Colab

Google Colab enables users to execute code on Google servers and is designed specifically for data science practitioners to develop code for machine learning in a collaborative environment. The platform is available at https://colab.research.google.com/ and offers an opportunity to develop in the Python programming language directly within a web browser with no code executing on your local machine. The environment comes pre-loaded with up-to-date libraries for data science and machine learning and offers a convenient alternative to setting up a development environment using Jupyter Notebooks. Moreover, the platform has a free tier that includes access to GPUs and TPUs, there is no configuration required, and sharing notebooks between collaborators is easy.

Google Colab has a very similar development experience to Jupyter Notebooks, and there are some advantages and disadvantages of using Google Colab over Jupyter Notebooks.
