▤ Summary

It’s no secret that there aren’t enough data scientists and machine learning developers available to fulfill the current demand.The Microsoft Professional Program for Artificial Intelligence is available for free on edX.org, though you can also opt to pay for a certificate.In addition to the AI class, Microsoft also today announced a similar program for entry-level software developers .This edX-based program consists of 13 courses that teach students the basics of software development, with a focus on Python and JavaScript.What’s maybe more important than just teaching those languages, though, is that the course also looks at basics like data structures and how to use GitHub and other tools to write code professionally.
