It's been a while since I took a Coursera course but I LOVED it at the beginning. Between Machine Learning, the (numerical) optimisation courses and NAND-To-Tetris (even for the platform alone) it had so many great courses to pick from.

+1 for NAND-to-Tetris. I combined it with a visual logic simulator so I could actually see the structures beyond the VHDL. I would love to go back and do Part 2.

Coursera has high-quality, curated courses from reputable professors and institutions. Udemy has almost the opposite. Hopefully, this is handled well.

I'd go as far as to say Udemy is mostly bad practices and misinformation on nearly all subject matter.

There is the occasional gem but you better be ready to diggy diggy hole to find them.

Coursera used to have good quality courseware, now I get better stuff via a simple search on youtube. Youtube killed these two companies, well Udemy was garbage from the get go.

Indeed, Coursera will be fast learning best practices from Udemy.
