I heard about udacity on the radio and by chance picked Intro to python and then CS253. I still have a little Twitter app running on GEE. Mind was blown. Great courses, shame CS253 has not been kept and updated.
I particularly remember the story in the course of him having a list of all his users usernames and passwords unhased on his laptop and it was stolen. He said he was embarrassed and emailed them all to let them know. Lesson was to hash passwords. Cant remember if that was for reddit all some other project he did.
