Hello,

I stumbled upon this site that gives you access to free online courses on a large variety of subjects from some of the best educational establishments. I thought it would be good to share as I have found a few good trading related courses that I am keen on taking, starting with one from Yale on Game Theory:

https://www.mysliderule.com/Open%20Yale/game-theory-6756/

Check out some of the courses, there is another on 'Behavioural Economics in Action' that I will check out too eventually.

PS I am in no way associated with nay of these sites or programmes, I just found it a great free resource, especially for those wanting to better understand the economics or psychology behind the markets.

Cheers,

Awls.

I have enrolled in the October course - https://www.coursera.org/course/rprog


Quoting 
About the Course
In this course you will learn how to program in R and how to use R for effective data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples.

I may try the 'Intro to Data Science' one after too. Looks interesting.

Altucher did a podcast with Scott Young, who did all the coursework for an MIT computer science degree using their free online course offerings -- in about a year and a half and at a cost of about $2000.
