Description

DNN module development can feel overwhelming if you’ve never done it before. This training session is going to help you not feel overwhelmed anymore. Together, we’ll be working on lecture- and lab-based learning exercises to help you walk away with the confidence you need to begin any DNN module development project. You’ll also walk away with a sample solution that includes all of the best practices and other techniques we worked on during the class. You’re going to be able to write a better and more stable module, in less time, with less code as a result.
