What Free Course Does Matt Harrison's Blog Recommend?

Updated

Matt Harrison's Blog (hairysun.com) has a post titled "What is the best free course?", so the site does address free course options — but the available page evidence only shows that this post exists among the blog's headings. It does not show which course is named, which platform hosts it, or what the recommendation is based on. The honest answer is that the blog raises the question of the best free course, and you need to open that post to see the specific pick.

What the blog evidence shows

The blog's visible headings are:

  • Amazon's Book Piracy Problem
  • Gaming the system
  • Announcing Effective Pandas
  • You Wrote Another Pandas Book?
  • What is the best free course?

The excerpt on the page is drawn from the Amazon piracy discussion, not the free-course post. That means the free-course topic is confirmed to exist on the site, but its content is not captured in the material available here.

How to get the actual recommendation

  1. Go to hairysun.com.
  2. Find the post titled "What is the best free course?" — it appears in the blog's heading list.
  3. Read the post body for the named course and the reasoning behind it.

Expected result: you will see the specific course the author points to, rather than a guess. If the post compares several options, note the criteria used (cost, topic, format) so you can judge whether it fits your goal.

What not to assume

  • Do not assume the recommended course is about pandas or Python just because the blog also announces Effective Pandas. The free-course post is a separate entry.
  • Do not assume the course is free forever or requires no account. The available evidence says nothing about pricing, login requirements, or platform terms.
  • Do not treat the Amazon piracy posts as course recommendations; they discuss a different subject.

Practical takeaway

If your goal is a free learning resource and you trust this author's teaching background, the "What is the best free course?" post is the entry point to check. Open it directly on hairysun.com and evaluate the named course against your own topic and time constraints before committing.
