    Our first Machine Learning class graduates today, and holy hell, they are a talented bunch. Email hiringpartners@lambdaschool.com to meet them. Our first hire took approximately 2 hours after graduation; they’re gonna go fast

        Yes, the program is focused around Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. The math background is diversified -- some, like myself, know statistics, algebra, and calculus I and II from college a few years ago. Others have degrees in math or know the general

        It's a mixture of a little bit of everything. We have students who have been to law school, who have studied applied physics, and others who hadn't coded for more than a week before the course started.

        We have students who had only been coding for a week before the class started and others who had been software engineers for years who started their own tech companies that had been acquired. We have MBAs, and psychologists, and students who are still going to school part-time.

        It has just proven to me that grit and tenacity are much more important in learning data science/machine learning than educational background (not that a mathematical and programming background doesn't give you a big head start).

        Will be interesting to see how the ppl w/o math & programming background fare in job search and what jobs they get. Machine learning is tougher to teach but I’m rooting for yall

        Do you teach SVM’s in the course or do you recommend out-of-the-box Random Forests as a simpler to use and competitive non-linear classification algorithm?

        I love the business model you're using for @LambdaSchool, but I'm already happily working in industry. What would you recommend for people like me who just want to stay on top of technology?
