Lesson 13

[IrbidProdigy]

Hey, iv been following the lessons on this website for about 3 days now, and i must say that i love it! I'm truly thankful for finding this place

Now iv followed all the lessons fine with minimal errors up to lesson 12. After that and into 'Perceptron Training' though, I got lost. It mentioned something about viewing a different lesson called neural network before going into it, and so is there a link to it?

P.S:
After about a day of being here, i convinced three other of my friends to join along with me and learn C++ (were all pretty interested) and live really close by each other. Were all 16-17 years old and really want this little group of ours to be a success, but are the chances low? Is there a good chance we will lose motivation and eventually just stop (if the lessons get too hard) or could 4 16 year olds make it to a pretty high feat in C++ :s? So far we met up and watched the lessons together for about 3 days and feel pretty good, but i sense things will get really complicated soon...

I wouldn't worry about the neural network too much. If you're interested, here's a link to the Neural Network lesson that describes perceptrons. Mostly, this lesson is there to give an application of functions. So, as long as you understand how the functions work, you can go on.

Oh okay, thank you :]

Anyone have any input on our situation though?

Oh and I forgot you mentioned that it would be better not to worry about the neural network, so does that mean its ok if i just skip that and continue from lesson 14?
