If you can afford it, do the nanodegree. I did the CS373 course back in 2012 - and I have found that the nanodegree (which I am taking, and I am about 2/3s of the way thru the second term) touches on more than a bit of new stuff that I didn't find covered in the CS373 course (at least back in 2012). First term alone is worth the price, I think. Learning how to use OpenCV, TensorFlow and Keras, then using that knowledge to "drive" a virtual car (I built a version of the NVidia End-to-End CNN and trained it using CUDA and my GPU at home, using data I derived in the simulator by steering the virtual car using a steering wheel controller I bought just for that purpose). Second term so far has felt mostly like a re-hash of what was learned in the CS373 - although, learning about extended and unscented Kalman filters for integrating LIDAR and RADAR data was not something covered in CS373 (only the basic Kalman filter - useful in itself, though). My goal is to finish this puppy. From what I have heard (anecdotally), when the initial class started, for the first term there were approximately 30,000 students enrolled. When term 2 started, only about 300 of those students enrolled for the new term. So far, I'm doing pretty well with this. Considering I don't have an advanced degree, that I am a self-taught software developer, and I am going to have my 44th birthday in about a month - well, you know the story about dogs and tricks; that don't apply to me.
