I use Udemy a few times a year. The instructors are terribly under-paid, and the content is typically very high quality but low depth. It's great for picking up a new skill to a useful degree and getting you ready to continue learning more in-depth material elsewhere. Eg, great for learning a technology or programming language, but often not great for advanced features of that language. Whenever you can, use one of t…
Ardan Labs: Ultimate Go I worked for 3 years as a Go developer before doing this course and I still learned so much from it. Thank you Bill Kennedy, you're a wonderful instructor!
Is this the same ultimate go course that is offered on O'Reilly? https://learning.oreilly.com/videos/ultimate-go-programming/... Hard to tell. I pay for O'Reilly for myself since it covers a lot of my needs (nearly all tech books across publishers, conferences, and courses/videos across some publishers (manning, packt, wiley)). $700 is a steep price to pay for a single go course.
and this was the course I was talking about https://www.ardanlabs.com/training/ultimate-go/advanced-conc...
Indeed $700 is a steep price(I live in Eastern Europe so it looks even steeper), but for me it worth it as it helped me a lot in interviews which landed me nice paying jobs(by my standards). I don't know how long it would have taken me to learn all those concepts by myself. The value of a good course is that it condenses the time you need to learn something and this course did the job.
There is also Ultimate Go notebook which is just $10[1], the notes from this course. If the course is too expensive I would go with that.
I've never done a bad Coursera one. Probably luck but still. Currently working through Colorado Boulders' FPGA for Embedded Systems course. I'd also recommend anything by Harvard/MIT on edX. The MIT Advanced Manufacturing micromasters, as well as the finance one, were fantastic.
Why did you learn so diverse knowledge?
I want to design accelerators for Fintech applications at some point soon, hence the FPGA and Finance courses. As for the Manufacturing one, in my eyes I need to understand to full breadth of the industrial chain. Perhaps not as deep as obtaining raw materials (mining/chemistry), but understanding how we turn raw materials into useful tools is something that's important no mater what kind of engineer you are.
