#2Anyone recommend any Udemy courses, on any topic? My experience is that there are very few where both delivery and content are good.
My own recommendations would be Stephen Grider’s React courses, and Chris Croft’s management courses.

I stopped bothering with Udemy a couple years ago, in my experience 90% of their courses were junk.
Packt is OK but a few of their courses are unintelligible due to a strong foreign accent.
Lynda (or Linkedin now) has good quality but seems more geared toward beginners, it's rare to find advanced topics.
I like Pluralsight, they have advanced topics and their foreign instructors are intelligible.

GameDev.tv courses on game development are pretty good, their Blender course was also pretty good.

I have the same experience, in fact for the most part I feel like everything I've tried on Udemy has been the same level of quality as a YouTube tutorial.

I studied Vue and Nuxt through Maximilian Schwarzmüller’s courses, which I liked. He has a very beginner-friendly teaching style, which was right for me at the time but might not work for everyone.

#8I've never taken an Udemy class, but am sure there's quality content on the website. However, I've always felt that the way they show their prices is a little fishy.
Looking at their offering now, all of the courses are priced between 10 - 13 euros, but each one seems to be "on sale" with the actual price being in the hundreds of euros.

#9I prefer Coursera because I'd rather shell out 40 euros and get a high-quality course from say, Roughgarden at Stanford than pay 15 euros and get something worse than just scanning Youtube.
Also Coursera has the whole system of problem sets and programming assignments etc.
That said - I'd be happy if someone could show me some decent Udemy courses?

"JavaScript: Understanding the weird parts" by Anthony Alicea is a high-quality course which helped me understand JS on a more fundamental level. This is the main one I always recommend for folks who know JS, but would like to take a step further: https://www.udemy.com/course/understand-javascript/
