I’ve just started the course and am considering paying for the Coursera certification to help keep me on track. Does anybody have insights into using Coursera as opposed to using the freely available resources?
Author here. I just used a free pdf version of the book and the legacy software package which they link to on the website. Great experience. The authors have since created a self-contained web IDE version of the book/course, but if you know the basics of working with a terminal, you'd probably prefer the software package.
