The fastai book, 'Deep Learning for Coders', published as a collection of Jupyter Notebooks covering deep learning with fastai and PyTorch. It serves as the material for the fast.ai MOOC and is runnable in Google Colab or locally.

Use cases

• learn deep learning from scratch
• study fastai and PyTorch with hands-on notebooks
• follow the fast.ai course material
• understand computer vision and NLP basics
• run deep learning tutorials in Google Colab
• prepare for building deep learning models in production

When to choose

• you want a practical, code-first introduction to deep learning
• you are taking the fast.ai course and need the notebooks
• you prefer learning via runnable Jupyter notebooks
• you want free access to a well-regarded deep learning textbook

When to avoid

• you need a redistributable or commercially usable textbook (prose is copyright-restricted)
• you want a math-heavy theoretical treatment rather than a top-down practical approach
• you need a maintained software library rather than learning material
