How has your experience been with Udemy courses?

I've taken three courses among which a low quality one and I'm not impressed at all:
- not in-depth enough
- no quality control on courses

I think that I learn much more from official documentation (MDN, books,..) than from such courses in general.

I've taken Lynda.com courses and they are of the highest quality and learning value. Lynda.com was amazing and professional. Pluralsight, same thing.

I have to learn how to filter courses better.
Onwards to more learning..

Pretty good. I just look at the reviews, samples, and content. So far I've only refunded 1 course.

It's highly dependant on the course. Some are great, some are a trash fire. You need to put in the time to read reviews and do a little research if you want a good experience.

@KevenDev Yeah.. I've landed on a trash fire this time.. sucks.. But yes, lessons learned.

I think I've "followed" about 20 Udemy courses.

And by followed... I mean:

1. Buy course for $10 (I don't think any courses there are really worth their undiscounted price)
2. Ripped using Udeler
3. Transferred to my own server
4. Played through video playlist at 2x speed, or even faster if teacher is particularly boring.

Issue is that courses are indeed aimed at varying seniority, and are of varying quality and pace.

Most courses are indeed way too slow and lacking depth for anyone who's already a developer, in my opinion.

Makes sense though, "Make your first app with Kotlin" will always do better than "Building advanced physics simulations in Haskell" — from a seller's perspective, at least.

Still, the highest rated ones for any given language/technology are usually nice enough.
