• Ask HN: Best basic to advanced Physics book(s)?

  There are a lot of books, and online courses. Given the breadth of topics in undergrad physics, may I suggest materials from MIT Open Courseware? https://ocw.mit.edu/ My theory is that you can get a sequence of courses, or at least the materials for them, that are consistent. I know this doesn't really answer your book request, but by perusing the online courseware, you might get an idea of which books are... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Would you forgive student loan debt if you were the President?

  Here you go. https://ocw.mit.edu/ That's from the highly acclaimed M.I.T. "MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to publish all of the educational materials from its undergraduate- and graduate-level courses online, freely and openly available to anyone, anywhere."

• So how DO you do your due dilligence?

  Apply as needed to topics you care about and use. If I was ever seriously using the information Dan presented to me, I'd have to learn more about how to interpret film. One way could be to check out MIT Open Courseware and find a media studies course, look at the readings, and find some basic texts from an introductory course that could help me understand how the information is generated. Another could be to watch... Source: 5 months ago

• Bought my first laptop for my education after years of being homeless, hope I invested my money right.

  CS is computer science. Also check out edx.com It is hosted by Harvard and if you pay for the course which is very little you get a certificate from them. There is also groupings of courses were you can get a business certificate. Also check out udemy.com. Wait for the specials for $10-15. I have heard that google has certificates that are free but that businesses except. Just try stuff and even look at skills... Source: 10 months ago

• Rant - Anyone else having trouble finding a job?

  Core coding and IT skills are a must though. Pick a language you followed and liked at Uni, check there is decent job demand for it, and do a udemy.com course on it (great value, great content, very cheap). Pair this with a major cloud (Azure or AWS) qualification which is pretty much a must these days, and you're much more attractive as an applicant. Source: 10 months ago

• Tech careers that won’t be taken over by AI?

  Prompting is so new I don't think a degree is offered yet, but Microsoft has some accredited classes (FREE) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/ and you can get a certificate on AI and chatGPT from https://udemy.com , I got a few from them :). Source: 11 months ago

• Failed my Salesforce Admin today

  I am studying Salesforce administrator fundamentals at udemy.com. I am taking this course where the instructor provides a checklist of all the topics/subjects you will see in the test. For example, according to the instructor, who passed his administrator certification on his first try, teach the specific concepts you will see in the test. I think that there are 133 features/concepts. So, the first video is about... Source: 11 months ago

• Cheap/free language lessons

  If you're prepared to do self-study, take a look at the udemy.com learning site. I paid somewhere in the region of £15 (they retail for around £60-70 in general but always come on sale at some point) for a number of courses (incl. languages). The courses are rated by students and I haven't yet been let down. Source: 11 months ago
