I just checked, and when I did it it was free, although I think that's because GA were on a marketing blitz (I think their 2 hour courses are typically ~$80 - money extremely well spent in this case).

This is the link to the course; it was called 'Intro to UX Design'

I had the goal of learning UX basics in as little time as possible.

I took a 2 hour General Assembly course and found it incredibly useful - it sounds crazy but I feel like I learned 50% of what I needed to know about UX in just those 2 hours.

I asked some UX peeps what books they recommended and I purchased 2 and never read a single page (they were The Lean Startup by Eric Ries and Sprint by Google Ventures).

For web app UX, I found this 30 minute video extremely useful (great to see how a non-design person might make something, then how that same non-design person can change the primitive app they made into something very nice!).

If advanced quantum computing were available in smartphones and other small devices today, what applications would be possible that are not currently? (Or which would be greatly improved)

Would it affect the things many people do most on their phones like messaging, news and social media
