What is fastbook?

fastbook is an introduction to deep learning, fastai, and PyTorch. It’s also the Jupyter Notebook version of “Deep Learning for Coders with Fastai and PyTorch” by Jeremy Howard and Sylvain Gugger, which closely complements the popular “Practical Deep Learning for Coders” course by fastai.

Through fastbook, you’ll dive progressively deeper into deep learning theory and gain a complete understanding of the algorithms behind the scenes.
