A New York City tech. training company called General Assembly is offering free courses on Fridays through June.  They look pretty interesting.

Hi. I saw several of your postings. It is all very interesting. Thank you.

Appreciate your research but maybe you can just make one post with a list & edit/add to it when you find a new offering instead of creating new posts for every offering?

I take it people thought I was being rude.. sorry if I came off that way. I just think it’s easier for users to go to one post with certain information (in this case COVID19 freebies) instead of scrolling through pages of post.. this is great information & will help a lot people

Eriehiker, I appreciate your effort in finding these courses and I look forward to reading every new thread you create. I want you to know that everyone does not agree that it would be good to consolidate all the courses you find in one list, especially if that list is on another board. I think you should continue just as you always have. If the prior poster doesn't want to see your posts or doesn't gain value from them, he or she has the option to block them. Many of us value what you do.

I agree completely. I am new, but I love your posts.

I love your posts here and I wish you would NOT merge them.  You find great stuff no one else on this degree forum does!

I agree. If someone is "annoyed" or do not find the post of value, they can simply ignore them. I believe there is a daily post limit anyway. I personally would not merge the posts.

With consolidated post topics, amazing things tend to get lost in the noise. Not everything you find is going to be valuable to everyone but that doesn't mean it should all be in one list.

Back to the original topic of the post, thanks to your link I was able to watch one of General Assembly's courses last Friday. It was mostly surface level stuff but it did help me become more certain about a new career goal. So thank you very much for that! Now I just have to slog through the boring bits to be able to do something I always wanted to do as a career but didn't know I wanted to do.

Seconding/thirding/fourthing this. Eriehiker, your posts are super helpful, and putting them in a new post helps me see them as soon as they're posted.

I think the post of consolidated posts is to group everything of one specific topic into a single place. Since your links and courses have hugely varied topics, I think it makes sense that they're in separate posts.
