<question text="Why can't I use DNN module with Visual Studio?">
The reason for creating the dlib DNN tools is to provide a clean C++ API for
doing this kind of machine learning. Such an API was noticeably lacking
from all the other DNN libraries. DNN module is written with C++ 11 standard.
Unfortunately, Visual Studio does not support all C++ 11 standard requirements
(for the state of VS 2015 Update 3). Hopefully, future versions of Visual Studio
will work better.

<question text="Why can't change network architecture at runtime?">
A major design goal of this API is to let users create new loss layers,
computational layers, and solvers without needing to understand or even look
at the dlib internals. A lot of the API decisions are based on what makes the
interface a user needs to implement for new layer creation simple, and if
you look at it you will find that it's far simpler than many other known
DNN libraries.
Since it takes several days to train models, needing to recompile to change
the network architecture isn't a big deal.
DNN module is designed to work in production enviroment where you need maximal
possible performance and reliability.
