Technical requirements
We will be using Google Colaboratory (Google Colab) notebooks as our work environment as it is a free, cloud-based Jupyter Notebook service that is easy to use and provides us with graphics processing unit (GPU) and tensor processing unit (TPU) backends. We will be using Google Colab to run the coding exercise, which requires python >= 3.8.0 along with the following packages, which can be installed using the pip install command:
tensorflow>=2.7.0tensorflow-datasets==4.4.0pillow==8.4.0pandas==1.3.4numpy==1.21.4scipy==1.7.3
The code bundle for this book is available at the following GitHub link: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/TensorFlow-Developer-Certificate. Also, solutions to all exercises can be found in the GitHub repo itself. If you are new to Google Colab, here is a great resource to get you started quickly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inN8seMm7UI&list=PLQY2H8rRoyvyK5aEDAI3wUUqC_F0oEroL.
