The truth behind online Courses

This is not going to be an article , i will just put down some facts in case you are getting it wrong:

1-First : A documentation is written about something .

2-Second : Some people read Documentations and Write books .

3-Some other people read those books and make the screencasts [ the video Courses ] for you !

Those courses people mostly make their living from courses making , not from real programming.
And there is no such a "Guru" who do all those projects and master all those things , it is a copy/paste mastery .

Unlike Writing books (Which means and leads to some good traits in a person like being precise and patient) recording a device's screen requires NOTHING and anyone who understands nothing can create a Course to be youtube guru !

In any course , keep in your mind always the (Context of a Job Or interview ) or simply your goal . If you learn for example "git" i think you don't need more than some little commands .

Once you finish a Course in any field (programming or digital marketing or whatever ) try to make something real and you will hit the real world problems , the earlier you do that the earlier you will get rid of online courses addiction .
