In this chapter, we covered TensorFlow installation on the three major operating systems, so all readers should be up and running with the platform. Windows users faced an extra challenge, as TensorFlow on Windows only supports Python 3.5.x or Python 3.6.x 64-bit version. However, even Windows users should now be up and running. Congratulations, now the fun begins!

You now have TensorFlow installed. The immediate next step is to test the installation with a sample built-in training effort. Next, we will write our first classifier from scratch—a handwriting recognizer.

In the upcoming chapters, we will review TensorFlow tools and use them on our projects. We will also review the major deep learning concepts, using each in the context of a project. You will have a chance to try projects in multiple industries, ranging from finance to medicine to language.
