So there hasn't been a Godus update in 5 months. Big deal! There are plenty of things that you could do with all the time that you're busy not playing Godus. For example, you could try to learn something new, to increase your chances to further your career or perhaps just because you feel like it.
Some of you are already aware but some of you may not be that there is at the moment a plethora of quality online education available at no cost at all except for the time you invest into it. I am referring to the courses offered by two parties namely Coursera and Udacity.
A few years ago the University of Stanford started an experiment offering courses on three separate topics. One of them was about Artificial Intelligence, one of them was about an Introduction to Databases and then there was another one which I am not completely sure of but I think it was Machine Learning. The experiment was an overwhelming success with many more people signing up than originally anticipated.
I believe it was Sebastian Thrun who was originally involved with the Stanford experiment who decided to venture out on his own to form Udacity. Thrun off course is known for his projects at Google, in particular for the self-driving-car and Google Glass.
Over the past couple of years both organizations have grown considerably offering more and more courses. Many more universities joined the Stanford experiment forming Coursera. Whereas Udacity focuses on topics related to Computer Science, Coursera offers all kinds of topics including for example Epidemiology, Highlights of Modern Astronomy and Financial Econometrics. Furthermore at Coursera courses are often featured in multiple foreign languages including Chinese, Russian and Arabic. There may also be other organizations these days who offer these sorts of courses but I am currently unaware of any. If you know of any others please feel free to add to this topic.
Be prepared to be astounded by an enormous number of available courses. I shall start by listing the ones being offered by Udacity and then follow up with the ones available in English at Coursera. I trust you will find that you now officially no longer have a reason to be bored. In case you want to respond on the thread, get ready for a whole lot of scrolling.
