**Wow, the Kickstarter launch date of January 18th is approaching so fast!**

I still have a ton of work to do and I’m neck-deep in Kickstarter logistics, but I took a few minutes earlier today and recorded this sneak preview of _Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python_ just for you:

[![Image 1: dl_ks_video](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20416'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://vimeo.com/197960661)The video is fairly short at only 2m51s, and it’s _absolutely_ worth the watch, but if you don’t have enough time to watch it, you can read the gist below:

*   0m09s: I show the output of training **AlexNet from scratch on the massive ImageNet dataset** — which I’ll be showing you _exactly_ how to do inside my book.
*   0m37s: I discuss how this book has one goal: **to help developers, researchers, and students _just like yourself_ become experts in deep learning computer vision**.
*   0m44s: Whether this is the _first time_ you’ve worked with deep learning and neural networks or you’re _already a seasoned deep learning practitioner_, this book is engineered from the ground up to help you reach expert status.
*   0m58s: I provide a **high level overview of the topics that will be covered** inside my deep learning for computer vision book.
*   1m11s: I reveal the programming language (Python) and the libraries we’ll be using (Keras and mxnet) to build deep learning networks.
*   1m24s: Since we’ll be covering a _massive_ amount of topics, I’ll be breaking the book down into _volumes_ called **_“bundles”_**. You’ll be able to choose a bundle based on how in-depth you want to study deep learning, along with your particular budget.
*   1m38s: Each bundle will include the eBook files, video tutorials and walkthroughs, source code listings, access to the companion website, and a downloadable pre-configured Ubuntu VM.
*   **The Kickstarter campaign will be going live on _Wednesday, January 18th at 10AM EST_** — I hope to see you on the Kickstarter backer list.

Like I said, if you have the time, the sneak preview is definitely worth the watch.

And I hope that you support the _Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python_ Kickstarter campaign on **Wednesday, January 18th at 10AM EST** — if you’re serious about becoming a _deep learning expert_, then this book will be the perfect fit for you!

#### **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.
