Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking guidance on programming resources for artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the context of Java programming. Participants explore the nature of AI programming and the types of resources available for learning and development.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses their experience with various programming platforms and seeks recommendations for AI programming resources similar to those found on Codecademy, specifically in Java.
  • Another participant questions the clarity of the original inquiry, asking for specifics about what the poster is looking for after accessing the "Learn Java" section on Codecademy.
  • A different participant highlights the broad scope of AI and requests clarification on the specific area of AI the original poster is interested in.
  • A seasoned programmer suggests that the original poster may benefit from using interfaces to open-source AI engines and mentions TensorFlow as a well-documented resource for AI development.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specific resources or paths to pursue for AI programming. Multiple viewpoints regarding the nature of AI and the resources available remain present.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes varying levels of experience and understanding of AI, which may influence the recommendations and questions posed. There is also a mention of site rules regarding communication style, which may affect participant interactions.

I am a very, VERY experienced programmer, as i programed in khan academy, scratch, code academy, and used android studio for programming robots in real life. However, i am very interested in programming A.I's and i learned a lot about that on codeacademy. My question is, what type of program do i look for that is a lot like the one in codeacademy (by the way, if u go to the codeacademy website, which would help, and see what i am talking about, go to "courses" and go down to 'language skills'. Then go down and cklick on the learn java part, as i prefer to work in java:smile:)

please help me out here!

Your question is unclear. After you click the "Learn Java" button, what then? Are you asking how to develop a web application like the one that codecademy has?

Also, please don't use "text-speak" here at PF ("u" for "you" and so on), which isn't permitted under the rules at this site.

A.I. is a very large subject. If you learned a lot about A.I., can you describe the nature of the A.I. that you are interested in? Or is that your question?
 
Hm. I've been programming since 1968. I still don't think I'm that great. Must have missed something.

Anyway what you seem to want is an interface to open source AI engines. So you can code in java or whatever. Decent AI development requires multiple programmers. Using existing AI libraries can be a one person thing.

https://www.tensorflow.org/ by Google is free, has lots of help, and is considered by the folks who know to be well documented and a very good project, all in all.
