Udacity intro data science 已经开课

https://www.udacity.com/wiki/ud359

excellent material
super practical

identical tools, methods etc to what my colleagues and I use on a daily basis.

highly recommend.

udacity现在是让大家选付费版的节奏，in-class project/verified cert都不对免费版用户开放，大概面临投资人的压力寻找各种盈利模式吧，呵呵。不过与GT的OMS CS项目能带来不少收入。

their free course is already good enough
compare to a normal degree, udacity has a fraction of the cost, i don't think it's really a big deal

i like their revenue model a lot. For free loaders like us, we can still get a lot of value from their site. And for paid users, there are more to be have, proj is a very important part, and tutoring/code reviews helps tremendously.

not sure how they will turn out but i would definitely love for them to survive, and thrive, and bring more free courses to us

How does it compare to the Washington course on Coursera?
