1 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,410 In this lesson we will talk about some practical tips. 2 00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:16,550 If you are new to programming, even if you are not new to programming, some of these tips can be very 3 00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:18,320 interesting for you as well. 4 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:30,800 The first thing to understand is that the artificial intelligence engineer doesn't know everything, 5 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,780 but knows where to find the answers on a daily basis. 6 00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:46,250 We are faced with many doubts, problems and questions, and we have to go to different places and sources 7 00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:49,130 in order to find the responses. 8 00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:59,540 Right now, the number one assistant of the artificial intelligence engineer is called ChatGPT for. 9 00:01:01,170 --> 00:01:06,480 This is the best way to solve 99% of your problems. 10 00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:16,500 You are going to find a conversational assistant that can help you learn solve problems. 11 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,800 Code review your code. 12 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,940 Find errors in your code is an amazing assistant. 13 00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:30,720 The moment you start using chat GPT four, I think you will never end using it. 14 00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:34,920 You have also other tools like GitHub Copilot. 15 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:40,080 In my opinion is not a recommendable in this stage. 16 00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:48,060 Chat GPT four, in my opinion, is your best, uh, your best assistant right now we will see some example 17 00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:51,540 using chat GPT four for you to get familiar with it. 18 00:01:52,530 --> 00:02:00,900 Years, uh, before a software engineers and artificial intelligence engineers used to use other tools 19 00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:09,630 like, for example, StackOverflow or Google, you know, to search and browse for problems, questions, 20 00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:15,300 etc. but today is chat GPT four in some cases. 21 00:02:16,290 --> 00:02:16,890 Excuse me. 22 00:02:16,890 --> 00:02:24,990 In some cases, you will have to go to the documentation of the programming language or the documentation 23 00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:26,820 of the programming framework. 24 00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:32,970 And always you find them online for free. 25 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:42,900 So whenever you don't find a response and the a satisfactory response in a chat GPT four, you can go 26 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,250 to the documentation of Python, Lang chain, Lamar index, etc.. 27 00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:53,250 So in the cases of a most tools, ChatGPT is going to be the way. 28 00:02:53,640 --> 00:03:00,480 But in some cases, like for example, the last versions of Lang chain or the last versions of Lamar 29 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:10,860 Index, you may find that ChatGPT is not not it doesn't have the the updated knowledge in order to answer 30 00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:12,240 some of your questions. 31 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,720 So it will be better for you to go to the launching documentation or the Lamar Index documentation, 32 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,170 or even try to find answers in their discord channels. 33 00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:33,270 The discord channels, as you know, are chat chats, uh, where you can talk with other engineers about 34 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:34,590 one particular subject. 35 00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:42,510 So both Lang Chain and Lamar Index have discord channels where you can where you can engage in a conversation 36 00:03:42,510 --> 00:03:44,130 with other engineers. 37 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:51,660 In my opinion, not the best way right now, if you don't find the answer in ChatGPT about Lang Chain 38 00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:58,320 and Lamar Index, probably the best way to go would be a the documentation launching and Lamar index 39 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,760 documentation, or Google or StackOverflow. 40 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:09,360 The discord channels there are still not too crowded, so they are not very practical. 41 00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:15,450 One of the questions we find at this stage a mac or PC. 42 00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:17,779 My answer. 43 00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:19,130 It doesn't matter. 44 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,310 Sometimes they are different. 45 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:27,110 Very small differences between the approaches with Mac or PC. 46 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:37,400 But in 99.9% of the cases, you will do things exactly the same way if you are using a mac or a PC. 47 00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:42,140 I am using a mac for this course. 48 00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:50,360 I use Mac since I don't know many years ago, but you can follow the course perfectly with a PC. 49 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:58,730 And if you find that the way we present in the course is not working in your PC, you know where to 50 00:04:58,730 --> 00:04:59,330 go. 51 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,800 When in doubt, remember where to look for answers. 52 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,170 Chat GPT four. 53 00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:08,270 Go there as the question. 54 00:05:08,270 --> 00:05:12,440 You will see that it will be solved very quickly for you. 55 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:16,700 Sometimes we are also a. 56 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:25,030 Faced with the question of a typewriting, is typewriting necessary to program? 57 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,010 My answer to that is that it is not essential. 58 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,650 But it is very helpful. 59 00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:33,550 Why? 60 00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:39,220 Because looking at the keyboard to type distracts you. 61 00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:43,900 You focus better if you don't have to look away from the screen. 62 00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:55,580 So my recommendation is if you if you can just learn how to type, you know, and in some cases you 63 00:05:55,580 --> 00:06:04,490 will find that you can find some, some tips, some tricks, you know to learn touch tip typing quickly, 64 00:06:04,490 --> 00:06:05,120 right? 65 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:14,240 For example, in my case it was very useful to use a an online online game to practice typing. 66 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:24,440 You know, I found I found a game, I think it was a $30 a game in the Apple Store to learn how to touch 67 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,410 typing, you know, and it was very useful for me. 68 00:06:27,410 --> 00:06:36,290 And I also used the technique of the the blind people and put relief on my keyboard, you know, so 69 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,630 I use some, some, some, some a a. 70 00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:51,050 I don't know what is the the name in English, but I use some pieces on top of my my keys, you know, 71 00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:54,710 in the keyboard for them to have a little relief. 72 00:06:54,710 --> 00:07:02,810 So when I touch them with the just with the touch, I can guess the, uh, the key I'm touching. 73 00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:09,710 So, uh, probably, you know that at the center of the keyboard, you have a couple of keys with some 74 00:07:09,710 --> 00:07:14,030 relief, you know, some some, uh, protuberance. 75 00:07:14,030 --> 00:07:16,220 They are higher than the other keys. 76 00:07:16,220 --> 00:07:25,310 So I use the same trick with some other keys, so I recognize easier and faster the different keys in 77 00:07:25,310 --> 00:07:26,480 the, in my keyboard. 78 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:35,720 So I have all my keyboards with some, uh, little pieces, uh, that, that highlight the, the some 79 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,590 of the, some of the keys. 80 00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:42,260 So probably you may find some tricks yourself to learn faster. 81 00:07:42,260 --> 00:07:49,520 If this is the, the case, is it necessary to know how to program in Python? 82 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:59,840 I would say basic knowledge is required, such as what you can find online for free on sites like W3, 83 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,240 Schools.com or in free or very cheap courses you can find online. 84 00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:17,360 But don't forget that your personal assistant, meaning Gpt4, knows how to program it, can teach you. 85 00:08:17,390 --> 00:08:25,970 It can answer your questions, it can write snippets of programs, and it can correct your programs. 86 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,900 From there. 87 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:35,190 With practice, you will increasingly master the parts of the Python language that you need most. 88 00:08:35,460 --> 00:08:38,490 And the same goes for everything else. 89 00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,390 Do you need to be special to program? 90 00:08:43,419 --> 00:08:44,590 Not at all. 91 00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:47,410 Anyone can program. 92 00:08:47,530 --> 00:08:51,820 It just requires a bit of study and practice. 93 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,610 Programming is not an activity that requires mathematical knowledge. 94 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,710 Don't obsess over prior study of programming languages. 95 00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:07,360 It's best and most effective to learn while practicing. 96 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,740 While practicing. 97 00:09:09,980 --> 00:09:19,100 And remember, junior software engineers also consult ChatGPT for Google and StackOverflow on a daily 98 00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,060 basis. 99 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,030 Our recommendation will be that you take it with an Olympic spirit. 100 00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:35,300 And remember, the keys to the Olympic athlete are perseverance, daily training, passion for learning, 101 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:38,000 competing, healthy and improving. 102 00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:40,310 Continuous study. 103 00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:42,230 Learning from the best. 104 00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:49,940 Breaking along distance into many short distances prevents burnout. 105 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,440 And remember. 106 00:09:52,340 --> 00:09:53,330 Cheer up. 107 00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:56,750 We have all been beginners. 108 00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:01,310 What is going to be our teaching method. 109 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,500 We will use technical sources. 110 00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:07,650 We will explain them simply. 111 00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:10,590 We will do multiple exercises. 112 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:18,060 We will use simple tools and we will tell you where you can find more information. 113 00:10:19,150 --> 00:10:21,130 Our final advice. 114 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,140 Everyone has an optimal way to learn. 115 00:10:25,970 --> 00:10:29,360 You will know yours better than anyone else. 116 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:35,540 Online courses require greater perseverance from the students. 117 00:10:36,690 --> 00:10:40,710 Take notes while watching the lessons. 118 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:48,930 Stop the video and rewind as many times as you need, and at the end, make your own summary of the 119 00:10:48,930 --> 00:10:54,780 theoretical part and experiment on your own with the practical parts. 120 00:10:56,410 --> 00:10:59,110 Avoid going too fast. 121 00:10:59,470 --> 00:11:04,330 Give yourself time to practice and assimilate. 122 00:11:06,350 --> 00:11:14,420 We are going to use Jupyter Notebooks as our main tool during the beginning of the program. 123 00:11:15,510 --> 00:11:23,310 Jupyter Notebooks is the future for programmers and very easy to learn on the go, both for writing 124 00:11:23,310 --> 00:11:25,380 markdown and code. 125 00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:32,730 Some engineers use editors like Visual Studio Code or environments like Anaconda. 126 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:40,080 Our advice at this stage is to keep this front as simple as possible. 127 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:44,430 Initially, we recommend to use Jupyter Notebooks. 128 00:11:44,460 --> 00:11:49,260 Later we will go to editors like Visual Studio Code. 129 00:11:50,780 --> 00:11:51,950 Jupyter notebooks. 130 00:11:51,950 --> 00:12:00,230 Error messages are not always clear, so remember where you need to look for answers whenever you have 131 00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:04,070 a problem or a doubt with Jupyter notebooks or any other device. 132 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,440 Go to ChatGPT for. 133 00:12:07,690 --> 00:12:10,270 We will teach you basic techniques. 134 00:12:10,750 --> 00:12:18,550 From there, you can continue learning techniques to improve markdown and code, as well as extensions 135 00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:21,160 for Jupyter notebooks. 136 00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:25,980 So in this lesson we have told you some practical tips. 137 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,880 Good if you are new to programming and also interesting if you are an expert. 138 00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:36,650 In the next lesson we will talk about virtual environments. 139 00:12:36,950 --> 00:12:41,390 What are virtual environments and why it is interesting to use them. 140 00:12:41,390 --> 00:12:45,500 In this program we will explain you how to do it.
