As someone who has a CS background but would like to learn more about finance but not get too deep into the weeds of math & statistics, would this be a good resource? Or is this more for people who want to break into quant and practice/learn concepts for interviews?
Yep, no stats or advanced math is needed. My primary focus is to cater to beginner and intermediate users.
For beginners, it is a good tool to understand the basic finance and accounting concepts. It is interactive, you can practice the formulas via quizzes, much more fun than reading a textbook. I suggest you try financial statement module.
For intermediate users, you can practice financial modeling by solving generic modeling problems (3-statements, DCF, LBO, M&A). It will help you build the muscle memory of using the functions/formulas.
For advanced users, I am planning to onboard more industry specific modeling content and practice cases.
After installing the extension, go to youtube. There is a "Sign in with Google" button where "related videos" are usually located. If something went wrong, please send a screenshot to me at support@eightify.app
So you're reading about the framework without writing any code? I would follow along, write and test code samples, run small experiments with new features you come across etc. Leave the reading-time-away-from-screen for fiction and for nontechnical nonfiction.
Not really, digital media is just more convenient to use and doesn't take up space. The only time I miss it is if I want to collect something like a Bluray DVD but I can still go out and buy those.
