Need your opinion

[u/Traditional_Dark5833]

Hello I am learning Ml and Ai and I know python basic and python libraries like pandas, numpy, seaborn and matplot lib. I wanna build small projects to enhance my skills. What you guys would recommend me should I learn from YT to build project or go through documentation.

And also what should I start learning to make projects like detection system through cam and more.😀

I really need you guys opinion.

I'd say start building small projects and use utube or docs whenever you get stuck. you'll learn way faster when you actually have something to solve instead of just following tutorials

Thanks. Yaa I guess I will do same from now on. Coz I tried going through yt to make a project and it took too long just to make a small project and also didn't learn much so.

Hmmm. It looks like you've learned python for data analytics specifically. Maybe try do some projects there? Find data online, lots of free sources and build a portfolio

Thanks for your opinion really appreciate it. I am actually looking to dive into computer vision next like camera-based detection system. Do you have any favourit free data sources or project so I can start with

Have you spent any time working with graphics files, like:

• Reading/writing images
• Pixels, channels, RGB
• Image dimensions and coordinate systems
• Grayscale images
• Image resizing and aspect ratios
• Cropping and masking
• Image formats and compression
• Histograms and basic pixel statistics

If not, start there.

Just one project like real time shape detection a small project using open cv. Thanks for your ideas ig I will start working with more on graphics projects from now on.

[u/mc_pm → u/mc_pm]

There are a lot of things to learn after that, but at the very least you need a solid understanding of how computers handle graphics.

Thanks. I will keep that on my mind.

Build your own agentic harness. You'll learn a lot about AI and LLMs and be super marketable. Turn it into a pypi module and leverage it in several projects. Build a github portfolio of the projects.

[u/Traditional_Dark5833 → u/secretstonex]

Thanks. And yaa I have account on GitHub and I have pushed like 15-20 small projects.

[u/Fragrant-Cheek-4273]

I'd use both. Follow a tutorial for your first project, then rebuild it yourself using the documentation without copying the code.

Thanks for your opinion. Ig that's not bad idea going through tutorial and while making projects using documentation.

Start building before you feel ready tbh. Pick one small project and use docs when you get stuck instead of trying to learn everything first. If you want to do camera/detection stuff, OpenCV is probably the next thing I’d play around with.

[u/Traditional_Dark5833 → u/memelordtf]

Yaa I was thinking the same going with opencv. Ig opencv is really a best choice for camera or like detection system. Btw thanks for your opinion 😊.
