I'm exploring online programming courses to enhance my AI and ML skills, preferably with access to a mentor. I'm currently studying at a third-tier college, and the quality of education is lacking, including poor lab manuals. I've completed an internship where I gained experience with Python libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and OpenCV, and I've worked on a few deep learning projects. While I'm committed to self-learning, it seems to take too much time, and I need to secure a job soon to support my family. I've heard mixed reviews about various courses like JSpiders and others, and I'm concerned about the long-term benefits of my investment. Can anyone recommend a solid AI/ML course that might offer mentorship or better job placement opportunities?

There's no easy shortcut for learning programming, especially with the current global demand for programmers being low. It might take time, but keep at it!
Check out some classic courses like the free Harvard ones on YouTube, or try FreeCodeCamp for a solid foundation. They’re both great resources to boost your skills without spending a lot.
I suggest using FreeCodeCamp alongside FastAI, and then work on building your own projects. Also, practice coding problems on LeetCode. I know getting a job is tough, but having a mentor definitely helps. You might also find some courses offer placement assistance, which is a plus!
Yeah, I'm with you on needing mentorship and some guidance! FreeCodeCamp has been useful, but it's been a struggle for me to learn everything quickly. I'll look into those options to see if they help with job connections.
