Anybody else taking the Coursera / Johns Hopkins Data Science 1 course?
Yes, I am taking that course - I did the previous version of it, but started late so didn't complete the requirements.
It is a short course focused mainly on getting your development environment setup with github
Are you also taking the R programming course then? Based on your experience, would it be fine to take both courses simultaneously?
I took the R programming course last year - it was a good short course if you already have some programming background, though I wouldn't have wanted to do it as a complete beginner.
It didn't feel like a normal course though - more like one of those week long corporate training modules. Useful, but I imagine doing the complete Data Science specialization in short blocks would leave some people with a patchy result.
