Ask HN: What are the best MOOCs you've taken? 8 years ago
I've recently discovered that videos don't cut it for me. I fall asleep or get distracted doing side research of what is being discussed.
The only one I've finished is edX's CS50. As an electrical power engineer, I used to code in matlab as a hobby: Optimization problems, Power flows, and stuff.
This mooc gently took me by the hand and gave me what is basic to change my career. I quit my job as an EPE and now work as a software engineer, and now I can't stop learning. The course is real fun and challenging at the same time.
Another one that is interesting is mind and machines in edx, kinda thoughtful and different and yet interesting approach to artificial intelligence.
