Python for AI and Machine Learning

Learn Python, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow and PyTorch from scratch - and build four real AI projects for your portfolio
Last updated 8/2026
English
English [Auto],

What you'll learn

  • Write Python from scratch - variables, loops, functions and data structures - with no prior programming experience
  • Build and evaluate machine learning models with Scikit-Learn, including Random Forest, regression and classification
  • Train deep learning models with TensorFlow and PyTorch, and know when to reach for each one
  • Clean, analyse and visualise real datasets with Pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib before feeding them to a model
  • Complete four portfolio projects: a crop health predictor, an image classifier, an air quality forecaster and your own ML app
  • Run your training in the cloud with Google Colab and free GPU access, so no powerful laptop is needed

Course content

12 sections • 48 lectures • 6h 48m total length
  • Welcome and course overview3:19

    Begin with Python for AI and machine learning, then build models with scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, and develop portfolio projects like a crop health predictor and air quality forecaster.

  • What is Artificial Intelligence?4:19

    Understand AI as machines that learn, reason, and solve problems like humans. See how machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, NLP, and robotics enable applications like self-driving cars and diagnosis.

  • What is Machine Learning?6:13

    Machine learning uses data to train models, identify patterns, and make predictions with tools like scikit-learn in Python, enabling applications from spam filtering to geospatial analysis.

  • Why Python is the Top Choice for AI & Machine Learning?2:47

    Discover why Python is the top choice for AI and ML, with NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Keras. Leverage its readable syntax to enable rapid prototyping and cross-platform projects.

  • Setting up Python1:51

    Learn how to download and install Miniconda to set up Python for AI and machine learning, using conda and pip, selecting the right version, and setting Python 3.9 as default.

  • Setting up your Python environment for AI/ML3:53

    Create and activate conda environments in Anaconda or Miniconda, then install packages like numpy and seaborn using conda and pip inside the active environment.

  • Installing and Running Jupyter Notebook.3:17

    Learn to install and run Jupyter notebook with Miniconda, activate the environment, install notebook and nbextensions, verify with conda list, and launch and close the session.

  • Introduction

Requirements

  • No prior programming or AI/ML experience required - everything is taught from scratch
  • A computer with internet access (Windows, macOS or Linux)
  • A free Google account for Google Colab, which gives you GPU access at no cost
  • Enthusiasm to learn and build real AI/ML projects

Description

No coding experience? Start here.

Artificial intelligence looks impenetrable from the outside: a wall of maths, jargon and frameworks. This course takes you from your very first line of Python to training your own deep learning models, one step at a time, with nothing assumed.

You will begin with Python fundamentals - variables, loops, functions, data structures - then learn to clean, analyse and visualise real data with Pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib. From there you move into machine learning with Scikit-Learn, and on to deep learning with TensorFlow and PyTorch. Everything runs in Google Colab, so you get free GPU access and never have to fight an installation.

The four projects you will build

  • A crop health predictor that classifies plant condition from field data

  • An image classifier built with a neural network

  • An air quality forecaster using time-based data

  • A custom machine learning application of your own design

Why these projects matter

They are drawn from agriculture, healthcare and environmental science rather than toy datasets, so the work you finish with is something you can show an employer or adapt to your own research.

What you get

  • Step-by-step lessons that assume no prior programming knowledge

  • Downloadable notebooks and datasets to follow along with

  • A finished portfolio of four projects by the end

  • Q&A support from the instructor throughout

Taught by Dr. Azad Rasul, a geospatial data scientist and Assistant Professor, with over 150,000 students enrolled across his Udemy courses.

Enrol now and write your first AI model this week.

Who this course is for:

  • Complete beginners who have never written a line of code and want a structured path into AI
  • Aspiring data scientists and AI engineers building a portfolio to show employers
  • Professionals in agriculture, healthcare, environmental science or finance who want to apply ML to their own data
  • Students and researchers who need machine learning for a thesis, paper or dissertation
  • Developers from other fields moving into machine learning and deep learning
  • Anyone who has tried scattered AI tutorials and wants one course that connects them end to end
