Ask HN: Best courses you took?

17 pointsby nitishmdabout 10 years ago
What are some courses that you took and thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot? May be its mooc, open courseware, openly available university courses. If you can post links that would be great.

If you haven&#x27;t had much functional programming experience I can&#x27;t recommend Dan Grossman&#x27;s Programming Languages class on Coursera enough.[0] You go through three languages in the course, Racket, ML, and Ruby.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;course&#x2F;proglang" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;course&#x2F;proglang</a>

Alain Fournier&#x27;s CS 414 (computer graphics) at University of British Columbia.<p>He tried to give me 110% in the course but said the silly mainframe wouldn&#x27;t accept the value.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Alain_Fournier" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Alain_Fournier</a><p>Oh my, I had no idea he died of lymphoma 15 years ago.

I really enjoyed Stanford&#x27;s Startup Engineering course on Coursera. There are no open sessions, but I believe you can still access the content.<p>Here is the link:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;course&#x2F;startup" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;course&#x2F;startup</a>

<i>Finite Automata</i> on Coursera. Jeff Ullman actively participates in the discussion forums and he [along with Aho] literally wrote the book.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;course&#x2F;automata" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;course&#x2F;automata</a><p>It is typically offered once a year in the late fall.<p>[Caveat] The course appeals to me for the same reason <i>TAoCP</i> does: it is conceptually rich and no holds barred...by which I mean that technical detail isn&#x27;t withheld for the sake of infotainment, and as a result it shows me how little I know by exposing the depth of possible human understanding.

I&#x27;m taking a course on Angular and it&#x27;s been one of my favorite experiences so far with online learning.<p>The link is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;watchandcode.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;watchandcode.com&#x2F;</a>
