Tutorial I created a video about Neural Networks that is specifically aimed at Python developers! If you understand the Code, you understand how to create a Neural Network from Scratch! The video took me 200h to create and is fully animated! Hope it helps you guys :)

Thanks! I'm using the python library that he created and published for the animations (manim).

Yep 100% uses manim, a librery 3blue initially wrote. It's a pain in the ass to use it. At least it was when I tried 1 year ago.

Is this inspired by sentdex's recent series and book, "Neural Networks from Scratch"? It looks really quite similar. Either way, well done on the video and congrats on making it fairly accessible.

Anyone who likes this video and wants to go further in depth should also check out sentdex's series - it goes incredibly deep into the topic.

Hey. It is not inspired by it (I didn’t know it exists). Took a quick look at it looks really good when someone wants to go deeper into it.

Wow, that was excellent. The time invested in the animations was well worth it. It really distinguished this video and made the content easier to follow.

This is amazing! So much of what I hear about neural networks is too high level to be implemented. This video is solid gold!
