Similarity engines, Python

After this you can build a player-similarity engine and put it in an app someone else can use.

Questions

The four that actually stop a purchase.

Is this too advanced, or too basic, for me?

Built for someone who already writes code in the session's language and wants the method, not the syntax. If the outcome line at the top reads like something you could use next week, it is pitched right. If it reads like a different job, start with the courses on /browse.

What exactly do I get, and for how long?

The full recording, yours to keep: buy once, watch any time. Masterclass subscribers get every live session for a year and keep every session that is recorded. Everyone else can buy a recording on its own.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The recording plays in the browser.

What if it is not for me?

Twenty minutes on a call before you buy costs nothing, and the call is the fastest way to tell. If you bought it and it is the wrong one for you, email michael@athlyticz.com and a person will answer.
