One complaint: "Nanodegree" is awful branding.
"Nano" implies "really small." So am I too understand that this degree will get me a really, really, really tiny bit of knowledge about the subject?
I think using the traditional term "certificate" is a better bet. It's also an easier thing to sell employers since they're already familiar with that language.
- gt565k 11y agoI disagree. To me, certificate sounds like something tiny. I.e. you're a certified .NET developer. Traditionally, a degree can be very broad. For example, a CS degree can cover a lot of classes in different areas of Computer Science in addition to other non-major classes. In contrast, a Nanodegree, sounds like a specialized degree to me. The Nano implies that it is small, but degree has that well known definition to most people. Together, it brings a sense of being a highly specialized program.
