A post outside the security field …
A friend of mine sent me a link to the http://www.udacity.com/ (Thanks, Momcho!) and after I took a look and spent some time with the platform decided that it is a good idea to blog about it. Udacity is yet another site with online computer science courses and yet different from the rest. I rarely like those courses, but Udacity platform caught my attention with its well structured and well explained course topics. The courses are combination of video lectures, quizzes, homework assignments etc.  Of course the students have to spent some time researching and digging deeper into the subject but the Udacity tutors certainly give their best to explain the base in very easy to understand manner.

Currently Udacity is still in beta and offers only 6 courses:

• Building a search engine
• Design of computer programs
• Web application engineering
• Programming languages
• Programming a robotic car
• Applied cryptography

The project deserves attention even with this small number of courses so far. As far as I can understand Udacity team is working hard to improve and bring more and more courses to the public.
