Are there pricing options for developers that aren't in this position? The platform looks great, but $80/month on a personal subscription feels really steep.
Great thing is that I built it for myself as a way of sharing my data science portfolio (https://nbs.isaacaderogba.com/spacy-entities-model)! I decided to make it a general tool in case others wanted to use (and pay) for it. There's comfort in knowing that there'll always be at least one user.
I attended Lambda School from April-November 2019. I was in the Web Dev unit for 4 months and a Team Lead for the remainder. I got a job early so didn't get to do Labs or Computer Science, though I've heard they weren't great experiences. I'm not 100% looped in what's happening with Lambda anymore (they removed the Alumni from the student Slack channels), but I hope they're able to turn things around.
For what it's worth, I did enjoy my time there. It helped me get over anxiety around tackling projects, and it gave me a taste of what fast-paced learning looks like. Was also able to use what I learned for Pioneer and YC. That said, it does feel weird to be on the hook for €27,500 - for what was effectively 4 months of instruction in my case.
As an alternative to getting a textbook, I would strongly recommend Krista King's maths courses. They're available through Udemy or her personal website [1][2].
Each section has a 1) written explanation, 2) video explanation with an exercise walkthrough and a 3) set of exercises. Each exercise also has a well-written walkthrough in case you can't solve them.
I've been working through them part-time for 4 months now, and it's honestly the first time that maths has clicked for me (I've found that most books tend to skip concepts which leave me lost).
