Are you serious about breaking into data science or AI — but tired of scattered tutorials, half-finished courses, and "learn Python in 24 hours" promises?
This book gives you something different: a complete, structured, 14-week university-level curriculum — from Python fundamentals to building and deploying LLM-powered AI applications — without a $60,000 master's program.
Modeled on graduate-level coursework. Designed for self-directed learners.
Every week is structured like a university class:
- Clear learning objectives (what you will actually be able to do)
- Curated readings from leading textbooks and free online resources
- A real, graded-style assignment that produces a portfolio artifact
- The tools and libraries professionals use on the job
No filler. No hand-holding. Just the program.
WHAT YOU WILL COVER:
Phase 1 — Foundations (Weeks 1–3): Python, NumPy, mathematics for ML (linear algebra, calculus, probability), and exploratory data analysis with Pandas.
Phase 2 — Data Engineering and Visualization (Weeks 4–5): SQL through window functions, ETL pipeline design, data cleaning, and interactive dashboards with Plotly and Streamlit.
Phase 3 — Machine Learning (Weeks 6–9): Supervised learning, feature engineering, model interpretation with SHAP, clustering, and dimensionality reduction.
Phase 4 — Deep Learning (Weeks 10–11): Neural networks from scratch, backpropagation, PyTorch, CNNs, RNNs, and transfer learning.
Phase 5 — Applied AI (Weeks 12–13): How LLMs work, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic AI, and production AI applications.
Phase 6 — Capstone (Week 14): A GitHub repository, technical research report, live deployed demo, and recorded presentation.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
- Career changers wanting a structured path into data science or AI
- Software engineers moving into ML and AI roles
- Analysts who want to go deeper into modeling and AI
- Recent graduates wanting a rigorous supplement to their degree
- Self-taught programmers tired of jumping between resources
Prerequisites: Basic programming experience, high school algebra, willingness to do the work. No prior data science knowledge required.
BY THE END OF WEEK 14, YOU WILL:
- Build and deploy production-ready ML models end-to-end
- Design and fine-tune deep learning architectures
- Build LLM-powered applications with RAG, agents, and tool use
- Communicate findings through professional data visualizations
- Present a complete capstone portfolio project to a technical audience
Stop collecting courses. Start finishing one.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
