Udacity Nanodegrees
Udacity offers some great content in their
Nanodegree programs. If you don't have
the money, and/or just don't want to pay for them, you can take many of the
courses for free.
While it's no substitute for the actual Nanodegree programs
(which include project reviews, additional student and career guidance, and a
job guarantee) there is some great content available for learning.
NOTE: I have NO affiliation with Udacity or Google
Why are only some of the Nanodegrees listed here
The focus of this project has always been making learning accessible. As
such, I've chosen to only list Nanodegrees with free content. All of
the Nanodegrees programs listed here meet the following criteria:
- Nanodegree lists syllabus on it's public-facing (non-logged in) page
- Links to each course in the syllabus are available on the public-facing Nanodegree page
- Individual courses are available to take for free via their public facing course page
Lately, as Udacity adds more and more great (and relevent) programs, the
newer Nanodegrees haven't been listing the courses and/or linking to them and
this list hasn't been updated as frequently.
What about pull requests, I'd like to contribute
Awesome! As long as your PR meets the same 3 criteria in the last section:
- Nanodegree lists syllabus on it's public-facing (non-logged in) page
- Links to each course in the syllabus are available on the public-facing Nanodegree page
- Individual courses are available to take for free via their public facing course page
