Blockchain - BitCoin - moocs

Be on lookout for developments in "FinTech" (technology implementations in finance and business transactions).  "Follow the money" - tomorrow, money being manipulated and analyzed by technology, is where it is.  Let me know if you want to talk about it.

Univ of Nicosia (classes are in English, not to worry), and first online Masters degree on BlockChain / BitCoin.

Much more than digital currency.   Next class starts in February, but youtube videos of previous class in fall of 2016 are online - link below.

EdX, Open Courseware, Udemy, Stackskills

EdX http://edx.org  includes MIT, home of one of the original open educational initiatives - 

Open Courseware.    http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm   First courses in 2002 and 2003.  It is great to see Professor Gilbert Strang http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm  is in the fray.   In a few lectures on linear algebra (many years ago) I learned there were actually THREE ways to solve them.   Strang is amazing.

Some additional resources:

Udemy has some free courses, you just have to look for them (check the "free" box):

https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?ref=home&src=ukw&q=python&lang=en&price=price-free 

Stackskills seems to be mostly paid courses.  https://stackskills.com/courses.

If you are part of a school or organization definitely check to see if they have already paid for an organizational subscription to any of the paid services.
