Any self taught programmers here? What value would you place on a Google nanodegree? I want to learn java. Udacity and Google offer a 6 month nanodegree to learn the basics of java and have 1:1 feedback and mentoring

Would you teach yourself again or pay for some instruction?

To get a job? Almost useless since HR is clueless unless you have a BEng or BA in Comp Sci.

For self improvement and to code your own thing - its good.

BA in Comp Sci? Wouldn't they prefer the BS, even saying no to a BA?

Protip: HR just wants a 4-year degree attached. They honestly don't give a shit if it's BA/BS. Heck, one can get away with a business degree with coding knowledge.

I don't think someone having a "Google nanodegree" would mean shit to an employer. They'll care if you're experienced and have a portfolio of work.

Looks neat, some of the stuff I touched on in school and then haven't used in my job. Might be worth checking out.

As for getting you a job, idk, it could probably help build up your github and give you experience. It probably counts equal to a cert in the eyes of HR

I didn't say anything about working as a wagecuck developer. I was asking if paying for instruction is worth it over teaching yourself
