Youtube has become a major source of information and an educational platform for many. It has an array of lessons and tutorials to learn any subject, including topics in computer science. Unlike subscription-based ed-tech models, most of the content on it is free.
Programmers, enthusiastic about teaching data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are also very active on the platform and have well-established channels with videos right from the basics of programming to complex subjects of the field.
We enlisted the top programmers teaching these subjects on YouTube. Choosing the right one will depend on your experience in the field and the kind of projects you want to work on.
