📌 Agenda
- Review Probability Course Progress
- Have Discussion and Talk About Confusions
- Clarify Notes-Taking Approach
- Discuss the Site (Resource/Platform)
- Next Steps & Planning
- The Rebirth of ASP.NET
📝 Notes & Discussion
- We reviewed the progress of the probability course. Participants asked several questions, which have all been answered and documented in the QA section.
- Regarding the workload for next week, we agreed that watching 10 videos is too much. Instead, we will aim to watch 6 or 7 videos.
- For the Hands-On Machine Learning book, the plan is to read up to page 45 and set up the development environment accordingly.
- Those with available time are encouraged to start exploring Python libraries like pandas and
numpy
and matplotlib. Relevant resources and exercises have been shared. - On note-taking, we agreed that everyone can collect their notes individually and later merge them into a combined version. Uploading PDFs and other file types is also supported.
- We discussed the site structure and future improvements;
- 🔥 As a symbolic act, the .NET repository was deleted during the meeting in front of everyone.
- 🐦🔥 This was followed by replacing it with a new, well-organized, cleaned-up repository — marking a rebirth of the project and a fresh start for us all.
- A brief history of the .NET project was shared, covering how it started, its values, challenges faced, motivation factors, and the final project outcome.
- Links to the GitHub repositories for the course, the site, and the end projects were shared, encouraging everyone to explore them.
✅ Decisions
- Next week’s video watching target is set to 6-7 videos instead of 10.
- Reading assignment for the Hands-On ML book is up to page 45, along with environment setup.
- Members with time can begin working on Python basics (pandas, numpy, matplotlib), using the shared resources.
- Note-taking will be collaborative: gather notes individually, then merge periodically.
- The site structure will be updated based on feedback.
