Databases by prof. Widom, from Stanford. Currently the course is at edX, and split into 5 mini-courses. Everything in the course is well thought out and apparently polished and perfected over years of teaching practice and experience. There is nothing useless in the video lectures, and the course homework probes every topic from the lectures.

Songwriting, at Coursera, from Berklee College of Music. The guy just sits in a dark room, and explains the process of writing lyrics to songs. He just explains it very well.

- rjbwork 4y agoSeconding Widom's course. It's a fantastic primer on databases. I did it during the first run, back in like 2011 or 2012 or so. I can't imagine it's gotten any less relevant in the intervening years.
- BSOhealth 4y agoI probably owe much of my 10 year software eng career to Jennifer Widom’s open courses on databases that I went through in 2011-2012. I was writing out unions and other queries on yellow notepads while working phones in tech support, devoured the courses, and really boosted my path.
