Programmer, humorist. Host of the Citizen Coder Podcast. I interview developers from all over the world, from beginners trying to break into the industry to senior devs.
I agree to some extent. Udemy has some good courses, but most of the instructors basically do "heres how it works" videos but don't provide ny real practice, leaving beginners having to shop for other ways to practice the basics. Which also leads them to buying more courses.. lol. I'm doing a Java course on Udemy which has been great, but the instructor has 20+ years of experience and provides loads of exercises. I haven't really tried Udacity, but I've seen some of the monthly costs for things like treehouse (over 300 a month I think) which is ridiculous. That might be fine if a business is paying for it, but the average person cant afford it.
