Companion code repository for the 'Neural Networks from Scratch' book and video series, implementing neural networks without libraries in multiple programming languages. It serves as a community-driven translation of the Python tutorial code into languages like C++, Java, and others.

Use cases

• learn how neural networks work internally without frameworks
• follow along with the NNfSiX book in a language other than Python
• see how backpropagation and activation functions are implemented from scratch
• compare neural network implementations across programming languages
• contribute translations of tutorial code to a new language

When to choose

• you want to deeply understand deep learning fundamentals by building networks without libraries
• you prefer following the Sentdex tutorials in C++, Java, or another supported language
• you want reference implementations of neurons, layers, loss, and optimizers from scratch

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready deep learning framework with GPU acceleration
• you want pre-trained models or high-level APIs like PyTorch or TensorFlow
• you need complete, well-tested implementations rather than educational code
