    UPDATE: Pulled all the Coursera's videos (from the course I was taking) by opening the embedded frame in a new browser window and using Chrome's Inspector.

    I'm no Pir8, but I know a little bit. Grew up in the jUAREZ era of BBSs downloading 45-50 disks of DOOM! (or whatever it was at the time)

    So ... #DataCamp ... The most recent course was the most understandable course I've ever taken from them. This is #rlang + #tidyverse + #dplyr + #ggplot2 ... the guy didn't assume I knew anything, so he explained everything from the beginning. Also, the exercises expected one to put in everything. Exercises began with:

    library(dplyr)
    library(ggplot2)

    and so on, so it wasn't mystery functions that just appear in the environment.

    And that convinces me that the issues I'm having with their courses are mostly sourced in their educational methodologies.

    Now, I don't want to scare anyone off from trying DC. But at this stage of my life, their methods don't work so well with my brain.

    On the other hand, the #Google + #Coursera Cybersecurity program and the #IBM + Coursera Backend Development program seem to do the opposite. Because of their target markets, they assume students don't have much relevant background and they give lots of effort covering the most basic things in great detail.

    Which is good, but in some cases, it is hard to pay attention to things I've known for over twenty years.

    Long shot, but FediVerse do your magic:

    I am thinking about taking courses in #ArtHistory at a universarian level. Preferably online (#MOOC). I have scoured #Coursera and #edX but haven‘t really found a comprehensive course (there‘s bits and pieces all over).

    Does anyone know of something or has additional pointers to look at?

    In recent weeks, progress in the two #Coursera programs ( #Google #CyberSecurity and #IBM #Backend_Development ) and the #Udemy program ( #MySQL & #PostgreSQL database + #D-Lang + #PHP ) has completely stopped.

    There's also a mild to moderate cold that is being passed around the family here. We suspect that Grandson_3 brought it home from school. He's been coughing and sneezing off and on for about three weeks. Grandson_4 has been exceptionally clingy and whiny, though he has only sneezed / coughed occasionally. Grandson_5's nose has been running about the same length of time, with occasional coughing or sneezing. And I'm going through my third wave of it.

    So I think that's also part of what's going on educationally.

    The thing is, I need to finish these programs. In the case of DataCamp, bthall paid for a year's subscription. I want to complete as much as I can before the year ends (late December / early January). The Coursera programs are being funded by New York State;s Unemployment Insurance program, even though my benefits timed out almost a year ago. I have no assurance that they'll leave the funding open forever.

    I haven't been anywhere in a couple of weeks, except:

    Last weekend, while my son and daughter-in-law were out of town for their first weekend away from the kids, #GS4 had a medical issue and I had to drive him to the doctor's office.

    Thus, it is likely that exposure to the doctor gave me a cold.

    It is getting better, and will probably be gone completely in another day or two.

    The cold seems to have sapped my energy. I've been doing an hour or so of #DataCamp, plus another hour or so of #Coursera each night, but recently it is either one or the other.

    I should mention that I probably seem like I'm grumbling a lot about these training sites / programs and the courses they contain. Let me say that I am very, very grateful to both #NYS unemployment for paying for the #Coursera programs (Google CyberSecurity & IBM Backend) and to Brandon (bthall) for paying for the #DataCamp subscription.

    With all that is happening, it is quite difficult to force myself to do these courses every day ... but I try my best to participate in both of them (and some #Udemy courses that I paid for in the past) despite the obstacles. I'm nowhere near 100% successful, but I'm doing my best.

    I keep missing little details in #DataCamp assignments. For example, I needed to say which #Python datatype `print(type("True"))` shows. I saw `True` and completely missed the quotation marks, so I said "<class Boolean>", which was wrong.

    That's a frequent thing on their courses, but I've never encountered it with #Coursera or #Udemy or #Udacity or #Linda.com / #LinkedInLearning. It feels like they're intentionally tripping me up with gotchas.

    Even with all the annoyances and issues that come with #DataCamp's sandbox, it is still miles ahead of my #Coursera cybersecurity course, where you get to download .docx files from opaque Google Drive shares. (Yeah, I know. Everything we tell our users NOT to do.)
