Yeah - the updated version is much better (I've completed both of them) just because you don't need to struggle with Matlab. Overall, this course is extremely good mostly because Ng covers the essential theoretical topics and gives some practical advice. Also, the topics are explained really well and you do not need to look up additional material. Also, I really appreciate that he took the time to derive those equati…

I'm started the Deep Learning course last night and I too think it's really good. After you finished the series of courses, what did you move on to?

I would recommend Andrew Ng's updated course on Deep Learning with python instead. https://www.coursera.org/specializations/deep-learning

As someone that's new to ML but interested in it, do you recommend people skip the original course? Does it cover the same things?

Build a Modern Computer from First Principles: From Nand to Tetris (Project-Centered Course) https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer and then part 2: https://www.coursera.org/learn/nand2tetris2 [Both courses are free] These are fantastic courses, by far the best MOOCs I have ever taken. I went into them knowing nothing about computer architecture, and by the end of the first course I was able to design a full…

Oh, I was hoping the development of an assembler and a compiler was a part of the course.

How useful would that course be for someone who knows about computer architecture, has coded in assembly, understands how compilers work, etc...?

Alternatively, would this course be useful/accessible for complete beginners, e.g. mid/high schoolers?

I personally found this to be a great one. https://www.coursera.org/learn/psychological-first-aid Having even passing familiarity with a way to think about helping people in crisis is extremely useful when you're in the moment.

Now that looks like an interesting recommendation! It looks like it can offer information I can’t find elsewhere, unlike most of Coursera’s other classes

In need of Excellent and professional investigative services. I hired prohacker2177@gmail.com for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my husband's phone and he far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get some info such as whatsapp, facebook, text messages, call logs and even phone conversations that I needed for proof of his secretive affair. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person; to all loyal partners out there if you have a dishonest partner don't hesitate to send him a mail Contact: prohacker2177@gmail.com or whatsapp: +19412410496

I agree--I very strongly recommend this course. I binged Dan Boneh's lectures on a late Friday night like I was watching Netflix. I'm serious.

Did you actually complete all assignments?

No, why?

It requires Matlab for instance.

back then, matlab was the thing

actually, Matlab is still the thing depending on the domain you are working with. I don't get the hate towards Matlab generally from CS people. Maybe because it's paid?
