## WhyTheJohnsHopkinsDataScienceCertificateProgramIsAWinner
I've had a good look at the new Data Science Certification program from Johns Hopkins on Coursera
and it looks like the first one to crack the code on what is needed for the future.

It gets many things right and they all add up to make it likely to be
a huge success compared to other such programs.

What does it get right?

a) Makes all 9 classes available at once on Cousera
b) Makes each class a uniform 4 weeks long

Nitin Borwankar: So big picture question that helps me understand why I should spend time grokking evently - two part question
Nitin Borwankar: a) why did you feel the need to create yet another framework b) what can I do with evently I couldn't do with
jQuery events etc?
Chris Anderson: evently was a natural consequence of using jquery
Chris Anderson: it just wraps up all the repetitive crap I kept doing in jquery, and does it automatically
Chris Anderson: so b) nothing
Nitin Borwankar: ok cool
Nitin Borwankar: second q
Chris Anderson: I think evently was discovered not invented
Nitin Borwankar: what are the component files of an evently minimal app (there's too much in a couchapp to tell what's essential
