On the introduction page of this course it states, "This course is intended for folks who have a strong programming background, but who are new to finance and investing."

Hardly well-hidden.

I stand corrected. Maybe there should be a test to weed people out early then. Dunno - there are a few too many people on the forums who don't know the 'cd' command.

I was referring to this little quiz [1] which I thought should be posted directly in the description to scare people off.

Definitely a bit more computationally intensive than I would have imagined it to be. That's a bit of a challenge even for some with a CS degree!

Cheers for pointing this course out, though. It's right up my street.

Great! Very interesting stuff (as it's all new to me).
