Synopsis

Part of the Practical Tech Guide Series, this book focuses on what actually matters: how to take a folder of images and turn it into a working model you understand and control.

You don’t need a machine learning background. If you can run a command and open a browser, you can follow this guide from start to finish.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• What image classification is and how it works (in simple terms)
• How to prepare and organise your own image dataset
• How to train models locally on your own machine
• How to choose the right architecture (PyTorch and TensorFlow)
• How to read accuracy, loss, and training results with confidence
• How to improve your model with better data and tuning
• When to use local training vs cloud or browser-based tools

Everything is built around a simple, open-source training tool with a browser-based interface — so you can focus on results, not boilerplate code.

No deep math. No unnecessary theory. No black boxes.

Whether you're experimenting with AI, building a small project, or working with sensitive data you don’t want to upload to the cloud, this guide gives you a clear, practical path.

If you want to train AI image models locally — and actually understand what you're doing — this book is for you.
