Which courses are worth taking?
I'm also about halfway through the Johns Hopkins Data Science specialization, and I've found all of those courses to be worthwhile. But then again, I'd never programmed in R before and that's something I very pointedly wanted to pick up. So far, this series has been invaluable in terms of learning R (much like I had to learn a fair amount of Octave for Andrew Ng's class).
