Today I dropped a boat-load of money on a shiny new [Next Desk Terra](http://www.nextdesks.com/terra) standing desk.

Now why did I do this? Why would I turn my pockets inside out and spend what little money I have on an ultra-expensive desk?

Because I believe in fitness. I believe in a healthy lifestyle. And I believe in being **_active_**.

And speaking of being active…_the computer vision community itself needs to be more active._

As developers, programmers, and researchers, no matter what level or experience, we need to reach out to each other more. We need to hold more valuable conversations. And we need to better share our resources.

In an effort to accomplish this, I wanted to take a second and clue you in on a valuable computer vision source — [Computer Vision Talks](http://computer-vision-talks.com/).

Founded and run by Eugene Khvedchenya, [Computer Vision Talks](http://computer-vision-talks.com/) includes computer vision discussions, tutorials, and reviews of the hottest topics in computer vision (take a look at the digest for [May](http://computer-vision-talks.com/articles/2014-05-computer-vision-digest/) and [June](http://computer-vision-talks.com/articles/2014-06-computer-vision-digest/) and I think you’ll agree that Eugene’s monthly reviews are well worth the read).

Eugene is also the author of [Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects](http://www.packtpub.com/application-development/mastering-opencv-practical-computer-vision-projects), which includes step-by-step tutorials to solve common computer vision problems.

His book is for C/C++ programmers with a little bit of prior computer vision experience (so you should at least know the basics).

Finally, Eugene is also working on a really cool project, [CloudCV](http://cloudcv.org/), which aims to take “computer vision to the cloud” via simple API calls.

It’s safe to say that Eugene is doing a lot of awesome work in the computer vision field. Definitely take a second to check him out over at [Computer Vision Talks](http://computer-vision-talks.com/).

### What's next? We recommend [PyImageSearch University](https://pyimagesearch.com/pyimagesearch-university/?utm_source=blogPost&utm_medium=bottomBanner&utm_campaign=What%27s%20next%3F%20I%20recommend).

**Course information:**

**I strongly believe that if you had the right teacher you could _master_ computer vision and deep learning.**

Do you think learning computer vision and deep learning has to be time-consuming, overwhelming, and complicated? Or has to involve complex mathematics and equations? Or requires a degree in computer science?

That’s _not_ the case.

All you need to master computer vision and deep learning is for someone to explain things to you in _simple, intuitive_ terms. _And that’s exactly what I do_. My mission is to change education and how complex Artificial Intelligence topics are taught.

If you're serious about learning computer vision, your next stop should be PyImageSearch University, the most comprehensive computer vision, deep learning, and OpenCV course online today. Here you’ll learn how to _successfully_ and _confidently_ apply computer vision to your work, research, and projects. Join me in computer vision mastery.

#### **About the Author**

Hi there, I’m Adrian Rosebrock, PhD. All too often I see developers, students, and researchers wasting their time, studying the wrong things, and generally struggling to get started with Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV. I created this website to show you what I believe is the best possible way to get your start.
