   This is a great book for anybody who has a decent background in writing software and an interest in getting started with Deep Learning. The book covers a wide variety of topics ranging from text classification and generation to image and music processing. The Python Notebooks accompanying the book make it easy to follow the code. The book is black and white which isn’t ideal for some outputs. In these cases the Notebooks come in handy too.

2. The best book for getting into deep learning!
   This book makes understanding deep learning a breeze. The simple diagrams and tone of the writing make it approachable and fun. The Python examples in the book are shared on GitHub to allow anyone to jump in with some Python knowledge.Highly highly recommend if you want to bring your deep learning from 0 to 60 fast!

4. Top 3 book for practical approach to deep learning,
   There are two classes of books for deep learning: the theoretical ones and the practical ones. If you are starting, then my suggestion is to pick a book for each class and iterate back and forward between classes.Now, this book is in my top 3 books for the ‘practical ones’ class. Very well, written with large coverage of the most modern aspects of Deep learning. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on music analysis – which is normally not covered by other books – and all the comprehensive discussions about embeddings. Only Deep Reinforcement Learning is not covered by the book and that’s the reason why I do not position the book in the top 2. Overall it’s a book I definitively recommend. The github repository is also well done.

5. Douwe the guy who made all those cool things with data waaaaaaaay back when!
   I was a huuuuuge fan of yours and you inspired me to think way more playfully and experimentally about the stuff I already liked doing and was heading into a GIS cert study to augment & try and keep my career away from abstract stuff…. but I ended up in finance for nerly a decade anyway; I just put this on my wish list because all my books are stuck on the other side of the country and I’ve had my resistance to buying electronic copies instead of a book I can see without a second monitor, etc… — totally schooled. I can only imagine the uniquely creative wit and utility and perfection you put into this book…. absolutely stoked to see it. Congrats on doing stuff we both love! DATA <3

7. Well written, but some of the sample code needs to be modified before it would run.
