Ask HN: Which Coursera certificates should I get?
I have free access to Coursera courses with certificates until end of summer. I can get any course and certificate for free. Which ones should I get for learning programming? I am a total beginner
- giantg2 6y agoI would say a Python one would be good. It's pretty popular and fairly easy to learn. Maybe look at an AWS, machine learning, or data science course after that.
- quotz 6y agoHmm but I am looking for something more specific, say links or names of actual courses that are good to learn and good to show to employers
- giantg2 6y agoAt least at my company, managers aren't really looking at coursera, so I can't give you a specific one. They care about experience, college degrees, and industry certs (AWS, CISSP, GSEC, etc), in that order.
- gcheong 6y agoI would stick to the fundamentals of computer science initially then branch out from there according to interest in specific topics. For example the Python for Everybody Specialization then an algorithms specific course like Algorithms from Stanford.
