Do universities in Germany offer MS only in German language? I am looking for online masters in English.


I guess most do, but you might have a look here:

The UK has an Open University, which is quite renowned in the world of distance-learning universities.


> For those interested there's a number of UK universities that offer a remote master's.

Would you say it is worth pursuing Masters from the UK university? If you dont mind which university would you consider worth it?


Depends a bit on your background. It's pretty convenient for me to just have the course available to look at, and since I've been coding for many years it's not terribly time consuming to fill in the gaps.

For someone who's never done anything technical it's quite a leap, but not impossible. I can see she's increasing in confidence from learning this type of stuff, which is really positive.

If you're doing it to get a job, then it does seem likely that a CS master's will get you some interviews. Certainly the content is what you'd expect. It's a red brick (certain unis that were established I think in the 1800s?) she's studying at, so pretty good rep but not Oxbridge, which has its own aura. But worthwhile for sure, people won't look down on a red brick.


> not Oxbridge, which has its own aura

Yes, although they're not particularly well regarded for CS (not bad, just not better than other places). They have a reputation for being overly focussed on theory, and this is also a discipline that other universities do very well.


Where is considered good in the UK for computer science? Imperial?

I really like the look of Oxford’s computer science courses, but that’s partly because of the theoretical/philosophical bent to them.


Imperial is considered top notch, for sure.

The Oxbridge aura extends to every course, nobody would really know anything other than that you went there.

Whether it's good or not, my guess is it's much the same menu as anywhere else in any established broad degree course. There'll be optional courses that take you more theoretical or more practical, totally up to you, but the content ain't gonna vary terribly much.


Kudos to you! Are you aware of any other masters which isn't as brutal as OMSCS, honestly I am thinking from my capacity and capability.


I think UT Austin has a program as well. Might want to check with the alumni there.

Also, I would say - if you don't hurry through the program and take 1 course at a time, it's worth giving it a shot. You must start slow, gradually you would have an intuition of how to pace your life along with the studies.

Hope this helps & all the best.


Is there a free/open source version of same or similar product?


In addition to Screaming Frog, which is very well-known in the industry, you may also be interested din Sitebulb, which seems to have been inspired by Screaming Frog but took a slightly different approach to the presentation of the audit information.


Yep - Screaming Frog (desktop tool) has a limit of 500 pages in the free version, which is probably enough for most smaller-sized websites.

In terms of web-based tools, VisualSitemaps.com also has a freemium option with a 50 page limit.


Screamingfrogseospider?


Yes it has a mapping tool


That's a nice initiative.

Any reason why you are restricting users having experience in US/Canada alone? I am from India and I do need help creating a resume.


As mentioned in other comments, our expertise, data, and insights are based on North American hiring practices. European CVs differ in practice quite a bit - for one glaring example, the common presence of a photo of the user on the resume. Our system is not at all capable of handling that today.


Also wondering that. If the resume is written in English does it matter where in the world it's being sent? Or it might be related to the "premium features" that are mentioned, since initially you can only monetize US/CAN based resume/employees


Any idea why option to edit 'toolkit.telemetry.enabled' is disabled?

Yes, read: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/t...

That preference has nothing to do with actually sending data to the mothership:

Thank you. We currently have no expansion plans.
