Well said and well done. I use Pluralsight as it is offered as a training option by my corporation. In my personal learning though, I have a rather extensive Udemy library built up. Your experience with Udemy reflects someone who takes the time to research a class or topic before making a purchase. That is something that I feel a lot of the Udemy detractors have failed at, and that is what makes them detractors.

Thanks Fred, I agree you need to do some research before enrolling on any course on Udemy to get the best out of the platform, but its pricing is best and most affordable.

I've seen this brought up repeatedly regarding Udemy. I feel a lot of people don't give it a fair shake because of exactly that reason. Like you said, it's a marketplace. You need to look for classes that are well reviewed as well as recently updated with an engaged instructor. It's easy to "find gold in them thar hills", but it certainly will never just fall in your lap.
