This Week at Udacity, August 18 edition
Sometimes Monday seems so far away when it’s Friday. Maybe it’s because so much has happened since then? Or maybe it’s because one of the most exciting things that happened all week happened … this very morning!
We launched Udacity Connect right here in the Bay Area! Salwa Nur Muhammad—Udacity VP of Admissions and of Udacity Connect—made the announcement, and you can read all about it right here:

Which Udacity Nanodegree Program Is Right For You?
Choosing the right Nanodegree program is an exciting decision, but it can also be a difficult one. David Silver, who heads up our Self-Driving Car Nanodegree program, very kindly put together a handy all-in-one guide this week, and we published it right here on Medium!

And with that, we come to the highly anticipated …
Tweet of the Week!
We’re actually going to cheat, and do two Tweets. The first is partly in gratitude to David Silver for his wonderful article, and partly because we can’t resist an awesome GIF:
And we’ll follow that with the kind of Tweet we LOVE to see!
And THAT … is This Week at Udacity.
