Machine Learning for Beginners - A Curriculum

🌍 Travel around the world as we explore Machine Learning by means of world cultures 🌍

Cloud Advocates at Microsoft are pleased to offer a 12-week, 26-lesson curriculum all about Machine Learning. In this curriculum, you will learn about what is sometimes called classic machine learning, using primarily Scikit-learn as a library and avoiding deep learning, which is covered in our AI for Beginners' curriculum. Pair these lessons with our 'Data Science for Beginners' curriculum, as well!

Travel with us around the world as we apply these classic techniques to data from many areas of the world. Each lesson includes pre- and post-lesson quizzes, written instructions to complete the lesson, a solution, an assignment, and more. Our project-based pedagogy allows you to learn while building, a proven way for new skills to 'stick'.

✍️ Hearty thanks to our authors


2. petite-vue

petite-vue is an 5kb subset alternative distribution of Vue optimized for progressive enhancement. It provides the same template syntax and reactivity mental model with standard Vue. However, it is specifically optimized for "sprinkling" small amount of interactions on an existing HTML page rendered by a server framework

petite-vue

petite-vue is an alternative distribution of Vue optimized for progressive enhancement. It provides the same template syntax and reactivity mental model as standard Vue. However, it is specifically optimized for "sprinkling" a small amount of interactions on an existing HTML page rendered by a server framework. See more details on how it differs from standard Vue.

  • Only ~6kb
  • Vue-compatible template syntax
  • DOM-based, mutates in place
  • Driven by @vue/reactivity

Status

  • This is pretty new. There are probably bugs and there might still be API changes, so use at your own risk. Is it usable though? Very much. Check out the examples to see what it's capable of.

  • The issue list is intentionally disabled because I have higher priority things to focus on for now and don't want to be distracted. If you found a bug, you'll have to either workaround it or submit a PR to fix it…

Fronts is a progressive micro frontends framework for building Web applications, and it's based on the module federation of Webpack.

Motivation

Among the many micro frontends solutions, single-spa and Module Federation are the best of them.

single-spa is a micro frontends framework based on router configuration. The centralization of configuration brings some limitations, such as it is difficult to granulate nestable micro frontends, module granularity control, module sharing, and so on.

In 2019, Zack Jackson proposed and implemented Module Federation. Module Federation is a completely different concept from single-spa, and allows a JavaScript application to dynamically load code from another application. It completely solves the problem of code dependency sharing and runtime modularity. The idea is true - A game-changer in JavaScript architecture as mentioned in Zack Jackson's article. And it's currently supported by Webpack, Next.js, and Rollup.

Although the Module Federation concept is so amazing, it has not yet…


5. vscode-theme-generator

Easily generate themes for VS Code with only a few colors.

Easily generate themes for VS Code with only a few colors

vscode-theme-generator

Build Status

This is a preview that leverages the new VS Code theming options in v1.12.

The Problem

  • New themes are typically forked from other themes, carrying the bugs with them
  • .tmThemes are overly verbose and difficult to maintain
  • Themes are difficult to write from scratch

The Solution

What if all you needed to do to generate a theme was specify a few colors and everything else was handled for you? Well that's what this module aims to accomplish. All you need to do is specify a set of "base colors" (background, foreground and 4 accent colors) and you have a reasonably good looking theme.

All other VS Code theme colors are then derived from those base colors, with the option to tweak each underlying color as well.

Example

This is all that's needed to generate a great looking theme:

import { generateTheme, IColorSet } from 'vscode-theme-generator';
const colorSet
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6. Qwik

An Open-Source framework designed for best possible time to interactive, by focusing on resumability of server-side-rendering of HTML, and fine-grained lazy-loading of code.

Instant-loading web apps, without effort

Instant-loading web apps, without effort

Qwik offers the fastest possible page load times - regardless of the complexity of your website. Qwik is so fast because it allows fully interactive sites to load with almost no JavaScript and pickup from where the server left off.

As users interact with the site, only the necessary parts of the site load on-demand. This precision lazy-loading is what makes Qwik so quick.

Getting Started

npm create qwik@latest
# or
pnpm create qwik@latest
# or
yarn create qwik@latest
# or
bun create qwik@latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

7. Captain Stack

This feature is somewhat similar to Github Copilot's code suggestion. But instead of using AI, it sends your search query to Google, then retrieves StackOverflow answers and autocompletes them for you.

Captain Stack on Marketplace Captain Stack on Marketplace

This feature is somewhat similar to Github Copilot's code suggestion. But instead of using AI, it sends your search query to Google, then retrieves StackOverflow and Github Gist answers and autocompletes them for you.

✅ OpenAI and OpenRouter added to generate code with AI (Bring Your Own Key)

Demo Video

1. Usage

Captain Stack provides Code Search (from Github Gist, StackOverflow), and AI Code Generation (with OpenAI and OpenRouter). With multiple options can be enabled at the same time.

To generate/search code, use // find {what you need}.. For example:

// find binary search in JavaScript.

// generate binary search function in Python.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Note:

  • Make sure there is a dot at the end of {what you need} search phrase
  • You can use either // find or // generate to trigger Captain Stack code completion. Both are the same.
