In this week, I have started on two new courses (well, one is a restarting of a course) and getting into the last phase SaaS course. I have started retaking Ancient Hero this week as well as starting on Exploring Beethoven Sonata course from Curtis Institute, which is available through Coursera.
In the week 1 of Exploring Beethoven Sonata, the course provided some background to Classical period, the musical environment from which Beethoven emerged. In particular, the course covered some of the characteristics and interesting works of Mozart, along with some biographical information about Bach, Haydn, and Mozart.
In Ancient Hero, I have completed Hour zero, which gives an overview of the course and guide on how to do slow reading. It also provided some passages that are representative of various periods that will be covered in this course as the text
In SaaS, the course gave an overview of Javascript, with focus on jQuery integration in Rails. It also provided very brief overview of how Javascript is starting to be used as server-side (node.js) and client-side (backbone.js, Angular.js, etc.) framework.
I had also watched a first two lecture videos of Accountable Talk. Unfortunately, this course is not quite I had expected, so given the time constraint, I have decided to skip this round of the offering, but I am planning to take one of the future offering.
