Learn TENSORFLOW with Real Code Examples

TensorFlow allows developers to design, train, and deploy machine learning models using Python and other languages.

It supports deep learning, reinforcement learning, and traditional ML algorithms.

Used extensively in research, production systems, and AI-powered applications across industries.
