This is a great idea. I'd love to see something like this for other topics such as Data Science, Digital Marketing, Lean Start-Up, Marketing Strategy etc. I'd love to help/contribute to the marketing related courses if you decide to expand your subject offerings.
Thanks, that's indeed the plan! We're working on a Learning Path on Data Analysis, should be ready soon! Checked out your profile. I'll be in touch if/when we decide to expand to marketing.
My co-founder taught herself web development using online courses and resources. This “Learning Path” outlines the resources she found most helpful, and lays them out in a sequence that a beginner should be able to follow. We realize this is a curriculum, not the best curriculum. We'd love your feedback on whether this is useful, and what we might change or add. Also if you’re so inclined, we’d love feedback on our p…
How did she tackle OOP? I'm trying to teach a friend of mine web-development, but she struggles with OOP. Also I teached programming at a company I worked last year and all the trainees had problems with OOP. Somehow the basics of OOP came to myself rather easy. I only had problems with the applied stuff, because all tutorials about OOP where with animals and cars. The people I try to teach mostly have problems with…
Really great stuff for beginners. Thanks for the list. I'll forward it along to a few people who are interested but don't know where to start. However, it does look very python-django specific route on the back-end side. My suggestion, branch out the back-end side to include paths using different frameworks and such?
Is there a reason its start with CS253 then flies back to CS101 in section 3. My prior understanding was CS101 knowledge is required for CS253 to make more sense. It seems to jump around a lot aside from adding additional resources to help learning during specific sections.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Our next one (launching this week) is in fact on data analysis! Check back at http://www.mysliderule.com/learning-paths this Friday.
Please let me somehow sign up and get an e-mail when a new learning path (like data analysis) becomes available. Great job on the site :)
I really liked the Udacity course. It's by no means exhaustive or representative of the ecosystem (it focuses on Python/Google App Engine, I took it quite a while ago but I assume it has not changed), but introduces a lot of basic concepts (client/server, templating, routing, caching, security, cookies...) in a very concise and efficient way.
I enjoyed that course a lot; I took it in its first run soon after I started teaching myself programming. My only complaint with the course was that, for me anyway, it left a lot of mystery in terms of answering how it's all actually working. There were a lot of pieces, such as Django boilerplate code and using Google App Engine, where they showed you how to use them in a specific manner, but never really explained h…
