Ask HN: What Coursera/Udacity/edX classes are you taking?
I imagine many of you are actively taking online classes.
- Which ones are you taking?
- Which ones do you recommend?
- Are you taking them for "credit" or for fun?
Perhaps people that are taking the same class can share notes, etc...

[ 3.2 ms ] story [ 27.6 ms ] threadI am enjoying every one of those courses. Besides learning something new, they certainly provoke you to think. Model Thinking for example, is kind of refreshingly different from some of the other stuff I do.
I am mostly listening to the video lectures, read notes. Doing it for fun, mostly.
I really recommend Machine Learning, this is my second time taking it (taking as a refresh). It really gives a good introduction on how to predict or classify data.
If you want something more practical, Introduction to Functional Programming with Scala is really informative, teaches you Scala and gives you another perspective on how to make functions and classes. It's definitely a great course for recursion lovers.
