College CS (NYU) vs. Online CS (Treehouse, Lynda Etc.)?
I'm developing an IoT fitness startup that creates a platform for facilities to gather, analyze and generate advice upon performance data. I have no CS or data science skills but I must gain some knowledge to better communicate with co-founders. Should I take intro courses at NYU or go online?
- volaski 11y agoCS stands for Computer Science. Online programming courses like Treehouse and Lynda are not computer science. What you're looking for is a programming course.

- nugmanovt 11y agoOk, I see. But I want to know what is more useful, efficient and applicable to my case. I heard that college courses are much slower that online courses. Have you went through either approach?
- edimaudo 11y agoI can't reply say much about your case but since you are in a a startup go with the online course as they would offer much more flexibility and you can go at your own pace since you need to ramp up learning quickly.
