Vertical 02 — Learn by Building

Live signal. Real paths. One milestone at a time.

What shipped in AI/ML this week, four journeys that end in a real project instead of an endless list, and the courses and people actually worth following.

Prerequisites

Before picking a journey — what you actually need going in, not what a syllabus pads out to look thorough.

Essential Resources

The short list — if you only bookmark six things, bookmark these.

Courses — Free & Paid

Curated across Google, DeepLearning.AI, Coursera, Udemy, and a few university originals. Not everything — the ones worth your time.

Essential Books

Fewer, better. Free PDFs linked directly where the authors publish them themselves.

Journeys

Pick the one closest to where you're starting from.

Projects to Try

Beyond the four milestone projects above — a broader catalog, tiered by difficulty. Each one names what it actually signals, not just what it builds.

Follow

Where the actual signal is — not engagement bait.

YouTube
Twitter / X
Telegram
Note: Telegram AI channels are far less vetted than YouTube or X — quality and legitimacy vary widely, and channels get renamed, sold, or repurposed. Treat these as a starting point, not a trusted source by default, and be especially wary of any channel that pivots into "AI trading signals" or investment pitches.
