Message: <blockquote data-quote="Louis Lu" data-source="post: 278444" data-attributes="member: 44085">Guys, I am a senior who is applying to Graduate programs in Financial Engineering and Data Science. I have a solid coding experience in undergraduate school, I learned Java, SQL and R. I never took any class in Python or C++ and those two seems to be super important for my intended graduate programs, so I plan to take one online class this winter break. I've seen a lot of recommendation on this forum about C++ course offered by QN, but the Python class seems to be a better choice for me given I am potentially studying data science.Also, the C++ course according to the description took 16 weeks, and 12 weeks for the python class, If I am fully comitted to the program this winter, can I finish it in 6 weeks?Can you offer me some insights on what those two classes will be like and which one do you recommend me to take?</blockquote>
