7:40 -- Joel Grus live codes deep learning library from scratch

Joel Grus author of Data Science from Scratch: First Principles with Python (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033400.do), promises to build a deep learning library from scratch in 45 minutes.

Livecoding Madness: Let's Build a Deep Learning Library
In this talk we'll build a deep learning library from scratch (well, from NumPy) in 45 minutes.

How is that possible? By typing really fast, talking really fast, and possibly swearing at the text editor a lot.

Along the way we'll talk about library design, type hinting, Python 3.6, writing clean code, and of course deep learning.
