Great initiative! Need more of these. Sharing with friends.
How is this different from Google Maps ridesharing API? https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/ridesharing/
+100 to Andrew NGs machine learning. Inspired me enough about the potential of online education to start a (now reasonably successful edtech) company!
Looks pretty cool! Do you have something for iOS as well?
Try the Khan Academy stats resources - https://www.khanacademy.org/math/statistics-probability Datacamp also launched a bunch of new stats courses recently. I haven't checked them out yet, but their courses are usually…
Seems to compete with the Amazon visa they've had for over a decade!
I love the crystal Ball analogy, LOL!
I would definitely expect a senior manager in a tech company to know that! Keeping an eye on trends, competitors, influencers, big shakeups is a must for doing their job.
We are a 3 year old startup and have had product/marketing/ops in San Francisco and engineering in Bangalore all this while. We use Google Docs power users and spontaneous communication happens through Slack and calls.…
Part of a VC's job is advertisement (for their portfolio companies) ;-) However, in this case I couldn't find a past association between Flatiron school & Fred Wilson and/or Union Square ventures, so this article seems…
You are right, @Wuliwong. Our learning paths ("tutorials" comprised of online courses, videos, blog posts etc) are free, and experts help curate them for the joy of sharing their knowledge and giving back to the…
Glad you like it, Sam. You seem to be an expert on -- SlideRules! Want to help create a learning path on them ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
Seems like "Design of Everyday Things" is a really short course, with only 3 Chapters and each video of 1-2 minutes. The total video lecture time for the entire course could well be ~1 hour. The project (timebank) is…
On the contrary, we have had a great experience with remote working teams. We are a young startup, and we started out wanting to hire the best local folks (that is clearly preferred, if you can do that in a reasonable…
Hey, sorry about that! Could you please try again and see if the error persists? If it does, please send me an email with your work setup & flow details at parul@mysliderule.com
some mindblowing numbers there. Thanks for sharing!
Hi elbear, Please add me to the notification list too. Would love to know when the course is ready
Hi Steve, I'm the author of the path and a big fan of your course - thanks so much for putting it together! However I would like to echo @rattray's point - when I started learning as a complete newbie to web-dev, I…
I strongly think so. Even as someone who had used version control before (CVS), I found Git fairly intimidating in the beginning. I feared it much till I fell in love with it. Further, it is hard to make someone…
Definitely. Making the tool more intelligent and providing personalized recommendations is on our mind. Priority++ based on your request.
Not necessarily.. depends on your choice of browser. I prefer Chrome, but I know a lot of web-devs, esp those are on Linux or those who have been coding from pre-Chrome days, prefer FF/Firebug. Also, when developing for…
AI path added to the "To-Do" :-) Currently, one way to include courses you have taken to your "binder" would be to review them on our site and mark their enrolled/completed/dropped status in the form. We give users a…
Also, Paul, bridge material between CS101 andn CS253 is included in section 3.1. Do let us know if you still feel there is a gap!
My apologies if you found that disorienting! You are right that CS101 becomes a prerequisite for CS253 (if you don't know python already). The reason I started with CS253 is because, personally for me, it helped a lot…
