Yeah. Learning is FREE and many resources are available for FREE, but I've learnt from these resources so I am just referring these resources that these are good resources to learn from.

It depends on the individual I guess. I personally paid for courses because it fit with my learning methods, and there was support available on the content creator's discord. It's also nicer that downloaded materials and exercised are given.

Yes its true you can learn many of these for free. However in my experience many Udemy courses have a premium quality to them. And those teachers are exclusively on that platform they don't create courses elsewhere.

😄, Udemy is good i agree, I was just sharing that we can still learn all this for free. I always prefer text based tutorials over video, Because if you are doing hands on along the course you should be wasting time going back and forth the course in the video. Just watching the video course wont help, you have to build something. So below can help:

  1. Get started with any technology using free resources
  2. Build some projects
  3. Go to advance level and to get premium tips , get famous udemy course and watch
  4. Build some more projects with premium tips

Yeah... agree on Text based tutorials over video.
The most reliable resources are the official sites of each of the technologies that provide documentation including APIs. This holds for every techs, not only MERN.
I am sure the instructors from those courses learned from the official sites too.
Most of the official sites provide textual based tutorials from which we can copy paste the code snippet from the examples that we can quickly try and even use them as a starting template for a real project, right after we understand the concepts we are learning. This is something we cannot do with those video tutorials.
That is I always do whenever I want to learn new language, frameworks, libraries :

  • HTML, CSS, Javascript, Web API, HTTP from MDN
  • React, React Native, Angular, Vue, Laravel for PHP, Spring for Java, from their official sites
  • PHP, MySQL, Java tutorial (text based), from their manuals which can be downloaded from their official sites
  • Node.js, Express and other Node.js frameworks
  • other stuffs...
