Can you update the Matlab Onramps to say 2020a Please?

Can you update these OnRamp learning modules to say 2020a please?

Only these need to be modified:

Matlab Onramp

Machine Learning Onramp

Deep Learning Onramp

Hi George - New versions of our courses are released a few months after the MATLAB release. We are working on the R2020a version of the courses and they will be released soon.

[George Carlisle]

I can't wait a few months...I've already waited too long for Matlab 2020a. I thought this was why release was delayed to get this other stuff in order. Let's go...this COVID thing is allowing me to move my training forward.

Work with me...

My priority wish list:

1. Matlab
2. Machine Learning
3. Deep Learning.

Will this system allow me to badge with each version?

I want 2020a badge but I'll "practice" with older versions

As you can see on Wikipedia R2020a was released mid-March, which is typical for the a-release in the past years, so there wasn't a delay.

Most basic features tend to stay the same between releases, so the Onramp course for R2019b should get you most of the way there. So nothing is stopping you from learning these topics.

[George Carlisle]

Thanks, Rik but here's my reply.

The Wiki was useful about release dates. This was different than my memory...

I know the versions are the same basically but I need "2020a" not 2018 or 2019. The 2020 cert version will last a decade...

I can cert once and not have to do it again for a decade.

[Rik]

Anything you do with Matlab for a decade will be much more valuable than showing that certificate. I guess it is nice to be able to put it on your CV for your first job, but I don't see how getting the certificate for R2019b would hold you back in any way, especially since you indicate you will redo the Onramp anyway.

As they are just PDF files, they each will last the exact same length of time. I would suggest doing the Onramp for any relatively new release and then follow the advice in this thread.

Agree 100% with you but here's my rationale.

Some of your comments are true but employers don't really understand the cert landscape today. Too much is changing.

HR/Recruiters will not care about 2021, 2022 certs just a long as it's recent. Online badging has advantages not available with paper certs.
