- So in this lesson, we of course just barely scratch
the surface of what's available to you
in the context of IBM Watson.
So I just want to point out some additional resources
that are available to you if you want to pursue
these technologies through IBM Watson and learn more
about them.
So here in my browser, I'm on the Watson Dashboard page
and we showed you this earlier in the lesson.
And I just want to point out the
Developer Resources Section here.
You've got the online documentation for all the different
web sources that we showed you,
and other ones that we talked about,
and still more that we didn't even talk about as well.
If you're interested in STK's for other languages,
you've got an STK's link that will take you
to all of those STK's.
And there's also some additional learning resources
available to you as well.
Now, in the documentation I just want to point out
a couple of things.
There's two links associated with each of these services.
The main documentation link and the API reference link.
So for instance, if I scroll down here
to one of the services we used, which was Speech to Text,
if I click that documentation link in a new tab
it'll take you to the getting started tutorial,
and a whole ton of additional information about working
with the Speech to Text web service.
And separately, if I go back to that previous tab
and I click the API reference page,
this is where you can learn more
about the specific classes in the Watson STK,
as well as all the different methods within those classes
and the arguments to the methods.
And I just want to point out a couple of things here.
In addition to the Table of Contents and the documentation
for whatever you happen to be looking at, at a given time,
what you're going to find is that over here
in the right hand side, they will show you code for whatever
language you're interested in.
So they have a few that are displayed by default.
And then they have this more menu,
where you can see Python, and as you work your way
through the documentation, over on the right hand side here
they'll show you things like
how to create objects, how to invoke those objects,
and a whole lot more as well.
So you'll definitely want to take a look
for each of the web services at the main documentation
and the API references links as well.
And by the way, in the main documentation it's not
uncommon for them to also have a video overview
of working with the given web service also.
Now separately, there's also a Watson YouTube Channel,
which you can find here.
And they are often posting new videos about how
to work with various aspects of Watson.
So you'll probably want to take a look at the Watson
YouTube Channel also.
And finally, there is actually some detailed books
that they give away for free.
They call those "Red Books".
And here, I've done a Watson search specifically,
and there are 15 at this time,
"Red Books" available to you that are specific
to working with IBM Watson.
So if you take a look at those,
you can download those for free at the moment
from the "Red Books" site on redbooks.ibm.com.
And lots of additional detail in those books
showing you how to build applications
using various aspects of Watson.
