<p>As mentioned previously, &#8220;things&#8221; are happening. I won&#8217;t go deeper on the topic as I don&#8217;t want to disclose details before I&#8217;m 100% confident with doing it.</p>
<p>By the way, until yesterday, I was following three courses on Coursera:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/comnetworks" >Computer Networks</a> [CN]</li>
<li><a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/android" >Programming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems</a> [ANDR]</li>
<li><a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI" >Algorithms, Part I</a> [ALG]</li>
</ul>
<p>I followed most of lectures from CN and ANDR. I wasn&#8217;t following CN with 100% commitment since I&#8217;ve been studying most of the topics in high school already and I just wanted a refresh on some topics. ANDR course instead is very interesting and I like a lot the practical approach to the subject.</p>
<p>ALG has just started, and I would like to follow it.</p>
<p>So, what happened?</p>
<p>Simply, my needs have changed.</p>
<p>So, what courses will I be diving into? I&#8217;m currently enrolled into &#8220;<a title="Functional Programming Principles in Scala" href="https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun" >Functional Programming Principles in Scala</a>&#8220;. It is an enlightening course and shows a new way to look at programming. More mathematical, more functional, more <em>elegant</em>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now.</p>
