Fastai v2 daily code walk-thrus

OK I am used to just skype calls with individual people where you have to find them on skype and then call. Thanks for the clarification!

This is really great! But it will be around 3 am in India and will not be feasible for me to join live. Hope that the recordings will be posted in the same post here for people like me to review and contribute with posts.

That’s my hope. I’ve never tried it either. Fingers crossed it works OK! Apparently there’s a max of 50 per video chat, which is pretty impressive for a free product. :slight_smile:

Jeremy, when writing our tutorials, what advice do you have? (planning ahead). One thing I was going to do is in colaboratory go ahead and rewrite (almost verbatim) the course v1 and notice and explain how each difference is set up in the new library with a side by side function comparison to help ease people in the v2 from something they can directly look at. Any thoughts?

Can’t wait!

Wow! Thanks so much for this Jeremy! Really really appreciate it! I can’t wait. I will definitely be joining :slight_smile:
FastAI has already changed my life already for the better and I can’t wait to get into the source code :slight_smile:

It will be 7:30am - a great start to the day and to work with a daily dose of fastai from Jeremy himself !

That sounds great! If I am not mistaken, this will be at 11:30 pm tomorrow here in Germany :thinking:… I just completed both courses and an opportunity to dive deeper into fastai sounds very interesting :slight_smile: will try to join that call !

This is great, I will join :slightly_smiling_face:!

Using zoom would be another great option. It provides upto 100 participants in the free version and it’s very easy for everyone to join using a single URL. There is a limit of 40 mins in the free version though.

My experience with Skype is that it sometimes has issues when you have people using other than windows. I usually switch to google hangouts when that occurs.
However, one thing that could be great for streaming would be to use twitch which is used by gamers and is made for streaming your screen. Here is a tutorial for that
With twitch people can also follow it via their mobile devices as well.
Viewers communicate with the broadcaster via chat.

Great! The evening time of the previous fastai courses would be better for all folks outside the US I guess. Most of Europe, Asia and Africa would be after midnight at 2:30pm pacific time.

In the UK, so probably a bit too late for me, but would love to contribute

Bit early at 3 AM in India, but still cannot miss this walk thru and the discussions. Looking forward to it.

I think that would be great, but I’m not sure the highest level APIs are stable enough yet for that to make sense.

What I’m really looking for is to just capture the key points I make in each walk-thru, with any additional context that helps to explain what’s going on.

Thanks for asking! :slight_smile:

Yes I think that’s the best option if Skype doesn’t work out, or if there are too many people trying to join.
