Be comfortable with browser programming using HTML, CSS, \\& JavaScript\n\n2. Be familiar with using the command line to run Node.js scripts\n\nThis curriculum is for people who want to:\n\n1. Build ML models in JavaScript\n\n2. Run existing models anywhere Javascript can run\n\n3. Deploy ML models to web browsers\n\nTensorFlow.js lets you develop or execute ML models in JavaScript, and use ML directly in the browser client side, server side via Node.js, mobile native via React Native, desktop native via Electron, and even on IoT devices via Node.js on Raspberry Pi. To learn more about TensorFlow.js, and what can be done with it, check out [this talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU-u-5Eo65g) at Google I/O. \n\nStep 1: Get introduced to machine learning in the browser\n---------------------------------------------------------\n\nTo get a quick introduction on basics for ML in JavaScript, take the self-paced [course on Edx](https://www.edx.org/course/google-ai-for-javascript-developers-with-tensorflowjs) or watch the videos below that take you from first principles, to using existing pre-made models, and even building your own neural network for classification. You can also try the [Make a smart webcam in JavaScript](https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/tensorflowjs-object-detection#0) Codelab for an interactive walkthrough of these concepts. \n\nSuperpowers for next gen web apps: Machine Learning \nThis high level intro to machine learning in JavaScript is for web developers looking to take their first steps with TensorFlow.js. \nFree\nWatch video\n\nCode \nTheory \n*close* \n[Google AI for JavaScript developers with TensorFlow.js](https://www.edx.org/course/google-ai-for-javascript-developers-with-tensorflowjs) \nGo from zero to hero with web ML using TensorFlow.js.

This book takes you all the way from the basics such as understanding how to manipulate data into Tensors, to quickly progressing to real world applications. After reading, you will understand how to load existing models, pass data to them, and interpret data that comes out.\n\n[Deep Learning with JavaScript](https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-with-javascript) is also a great place to start. It is accompanied by a large number of examples from GitHub so you can practice working with machine learning in JavaScript.\n\nThis book will demonstrate how to use a wide variety of neural network architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, and advanced training paradigms such as reinforcement learning. It also provides clear explanations of what is actually happening with the neural network in the training process. \n[Learning TensorFlow.js](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-tensorflowjs/9781492090786/) \nby Gant Laborde \nA hands-on end-to-end approach to TensorFlow.js fundamentals for a broad technical audience. Once you finish this book, you'll know how to build and deploy production-ready deep learning systems with TensorFlow.js. \n[View book](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-tensorflowjs/9781492090786/) \nCode \nTheory \nBuild \n[Deep Learning with JavaScript](https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-with-javascript) \nby Shanqing Cai, Stanley Bileschi, Eric D.
