Accessing Coursera learning material offline

Image
So Coursera is awesome right? But one thing that really bothered me was that I was not able to access material offline. My commute is a whopping 3 hours so yeah, I could make use of that time to read up on stuff!! (Yes i do look out the window.....but still!) There is this repository on Github suggested by a co-worker that is excellent for this exact purpose. But getting up and running is a little difficult for someone who may be isn't into programming or may be new to Python as well.

d3 Collapsible tree vertical

Quiet simple actually. And this is what it looks like.  Also including the code and the hierarchical JSON object used.  Hope this helps. :)

But now writi-'ng' one of those and manipulati-'ng' them dynamically? OMG!! Its like when someone threw this at your face. At first you say "Whaaaa?"  Then you lick a little off and say "Hmm!"  Then you lick some more and say "mmmmmmmmmmmmm" And then you're asked to make something like that. From scratch. My reaction? Alright alright, getting to the point! Ill use this post as the first of three posts, each post covering the following: 1. Write a directive (duh! aren't these a gazillion posts already?) But Ill be using this directive to explore # 2 and #3, hence the introduction.  2. Add a directive dynamically .  3. Remove a directive dynamically . Th...
