Ask HN: What is the best Udemy course you took?

13 points·zabana··8 comments

I've struggled to enjoy the Udemy courses that I have tried. So many of them are "i'm gong to do x" and they write the code and largely... just roll on. There's not much explaining of concepts, elaboration, and largely the presenters don't repeat themselves when they're reinforcing a concept.

When watch something that I already know I can catch what they are trying to say but so many things are mentioned in passing / not emphasized.

To be fair, this isn't just a Udemy problem. I paid $1000 for a udacity nanodegree, they too write some code and keep moving sometimes with no explanation.

At least with Udemy, it is just $10-$20 most of the time :)

True.

I wish I could find some reliable content where they stopped to explain or such. Granted I'm not sure people would buy it much as it would slow things down.

Ok here is how you ... there's the code... is of limited value, if any.

I should note that I've been trying out Frontend Masters content and so far been pleased.

Somebody mentioned a Udemy course in this thread:

The course is Ethical hacking. https://www.udemy.com/learn-ethical-hacking-from-scratch/

Anything front-end related by Maximilian Schwarzmüller. Or Stephen Grider.

I took Stephen Grider's Ethereum course. He is a great teacher but like another user posted above, Udemy doesn't get into depth I'd like to see when I want to learn something.

Yeah I was talking specifically about front-end related courses by those two guys. Don't know about the depth of their courses on other topics.

Digital Marketing Masterclass is useful and great for an introduction.
