A curated index for the TF2 migration hangover
A hand-maintained directory of TensorFlow 2 tutorials, repos, and videos because Google's own docs weren't enough.

What it does This repo is a classic “awesome list” — a manually curated collection of TensorFlow 2.x resources sorted into tutorials, sample projects (GANs, RL, NLP, object detection), videos, and blog posts. It also catalogs a few tools and books. Think of it as a community-edited table of contents for a framework that overhauled its entire API.
The interesting bit The list was assembled during the TF 1.x → 2.0 transition, and it shows: the author explicitly frames it as the TF2 successor to jtoy’s older awesome-tensorflow list. There’s something almost archival about capturing that migration moment — the scramble to re-implement YOLO, BERT, and Mario-playing RL agents in eager execution.
Key highlights
- Covers niche domains often missing from official docs: CartoonGAN, risk parity portfolios, handwritten text recognition, pointnet++ layers
- Includes non-English resources (Chinese tutorials) and mobile deployment guides (Android/iOS/Browser)
- Tracks conference content from TensorFlow World 2019, DevSummit 2019, and Google I/O 2019
- Links to several Packt/Manning book repositories, which is either handy or a warning depending on your view of tech publishing
- Still actively tagged with TensorFlow 2.3-era topics, though the README’s “TensorFlow 2.3 is now available!” banner suggests maintenance has slowed
Caveats
- No clear criteria for inclusion; star ratings appear as tiny inline images (3/5, 4/5, 5/5) with unexplained methodology
- Many links are to external repos with their own maintenance status — link rot is inevitable
- The “advantages of TF2” section is just two bullet points paraphrasing Google’s marketing copy from 2019
Verdict Worth a bookmark if you’re maintaining legacy TF2 code or exploring specific model implementations (the YOLO and GAN sections are particularly dense). Skip it if you want interactive tutorials or up-to-date guidance — PyTorch won the narrative, and this list mostly froze in time.
