Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2016?

I've already completed the Coursera Machine Learning course and now I'm starting to get my head around Deep Learning using the nVidia course - mostly because I bought a Jetson TK1. This is all to complete a project that will also involve RabbitMQ, Nodejs, and Docker.

Other than that I'm determined to gain a certificate in French Language (although I have been slowly learning for several years now) and get my driving licence :)

It helps that I have stuck with each technical topic rather than trying to do them all at once or skip ahead. Getting to use some of the technologies I need for my project in my day job helps too.

I also just finished the Coursera ML course, now I'm doing some stats and data science classes on there, and the Google deep learning class at Udacity.

I kinda think that the rise of MOOCs and "on demand education" is the best thing since sliced bread. :-)

Which ML course did you take? There seem to be quite a few - any recommendation?

The Stanford / Andrew Ng one. I thought it was pretty solid.

It's apparently not quite as rigorous as the actual cs229 course, but those lectures, problem sets, etc. are also online if you want to supplement the Coursera stuff with something more math heavy and intense.
