#42Software Design and Architecture Specialization: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/software-design-arc... I learned so much in these courses that cover OOD, design patterns, and architecture in a real world and practical way. I found it one of the best taught courses I've taken.
Is there a reason the course uses Java and not Kotlin for developing a app?

There was one called Mathematics for Machine Learning on Coursera check it out its by Imperial College London

#44I would recommend Andrew Ng's Deep Learning Course. https://www.coursera.org/specializations/deep-learning This course is extremely good mostly because it covers the essential theoretical topics and gives some practical advice. TIP: do solve the assignments bcz it will clear a lot of concepts while solving it. ( or other solution can be found on github )
I think it would be useful to take Udacity’s machine learning class as well to provide an additional perspective. There are some parallels such as edge detection uses the same techniques as convolutional networks, regularization is a general technique useful for both neural networks and clustering, optimization of steps in planning probably has a parallel to how Alpha Go works. Particle filters was cool.
Also, take several of the classes in the specialization. Don’t stop at the first course. Convolutional networks has been great.
I liked working on the notebooks and watching the interviews with some of the pioneers of Deep Learning.

Can anyone who's taken that and MIT's deep learning course (introtodeeplearning.com) compare them?
How much do the material overlap? Which one is better?

#46Why is almost every answer on this thread is related to Machine Learning. The question was about programming. There is 3 part series from University of Washington on programming languages covering Standard ML, Racket and Ruby. It compares and contrasts functional programming and Object oriented programming in detail by teaching 3 different languages. I believe this is a great resource to start with. Here is the link. --> https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages

One of the best courses i had.
It gave an First view of functional programming.
And ML, is just great. And now I can see many languages influenced by It.

I also highly recommend this course. It does a great job of comparing/contrasting functional and OOP.

#49The Stanford algorithms specialization (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms) is outstanding. Professor Roughgarden is the best instructor I've ever had, online or in person. He's got infectious enthusiasm about the topic and does a great job explaining the algorithms and how to analyze and understand them.

#50The first two course of the specialization on functional programming by Scala's founding father is worth your time if you're into that. I remember it being quite challenging, but gives you a thorough grasp of FP, and a new language in your toolkit. https://www.coursera.org/specializations/scala
