SummaryThis course covers some points of Censer, Machine Learning/AI(DeepLearning, A*, etc.), Image Processing, Control Theory(PID, Kalman Filter, etc.), ROS, Software Architecture for Self-Driving Car. Projects provide Self-Driving Car simulator and we can try to make a car drive in a simulator with coding. Capstone project provides real Udacity’s Self-Driving Car simulation(as of 2020/09/10, it’s stopped because of COVID-19).
Assignment environmentpython, jupyter notebook, c++, ROS, etc. (Udacity provides an environment and we can use it through web browser)
Completed date2020/09/10
How long it takes forAround 3 years because of work. Around 10 months if I’m not busy.
My rating★★★★★
ReasonThis course is very interesting in a tech point of view because Self-Driving Car requires many fields of tech. This is Udacity Nanodegree program, so Udacity member reviews our codes for project. I think even if finishing this course more study is required to work with Self-Driving Car, but this course provides first step.

FeeAround $400(I forgot and looks not easy to find the price.)
SummaryThis course covers from fundamental of deep learning and some new models like GAN.
Assignment environmentpython, scikit-learn, jupyter notebook(self development environment)
Completed date2017/06/12
How long it takes forAround 5 months
My rating★★★★★
ReasonThis lecture covers wide area of machine learning including deep concept part. And I can get feedback from real machine learning engineer. And then, I can get Nanodegree when I complete. Please care you cannot get certificate if you cannot finish the course within 6 month.

SummaryFundamental of Hadoop, Hive, Pig, HBase, Hue, Spark(MlLib), Neo4j, Splunk, KNIME and its application for data analysis for virtual game application.There are 7 courses(6 lecture courses and 1 capistone project course).
Assignment environmentCloudera VM(Hadoop,Hive,Pig,HBase,Hue,Spark(python,scala)), Splunk Client(Splunk), local develop environment(Neo4j, KNIME). For me, I prepared following environment. Cloudera and neo4j docker image(Hadoop,Hive,Pig,HBase,Hue,Spark,Neo4j), Splunk Cloud(Splunk), my windows environment(KNIME).
Completed date2016/12/25
How long it takes forAround 6 months
My rating★★★★☆
ReasonThese courses includes Big data softwares, graph database and machine learning shallow and wide including hadoop, hive, pig and spark core concept(like map reduce, RDD and DAG). I tried to use spark and Neo4j, so these courses are interested for me. The capistone project is making document for data analysis result and recommendation for increasing revenue of virtual game application. Setting my hypothesis and checking it with data analysis were kind of same real situation. And these courses use peer-evaluation system for assignment. So, I could learn something from other participants result.
