I discovered Udemy by accident. I was struggling with our development team to get new things rolled out quickly but we weren’t making much progress. Things came to stead where I thought that I could teach myself to program and yet do it faster.
And hence began my quest to search for an introduction to programming course. I googled and played around a few sites until I landed on Udemy.
Why Is Udemy Good?
Udemy appealed to me instantly with its clean look and layout. I went through a few other sites and never returned to them but I kept going back to Udemy. There were a few strong reasons behind that:
1. They Have a huge number of courses: More than 40,000 of them to choose from
2. They have a clearly laid out Curriculum and a preview of some of the lectures: You can see the preview slides and make some judgment about the quality of the course and the instructor.
3. They have a large number of user ratings and comments for their popular courses. While this is very common in most online education websites today it wasn’t so common till a year back.
4. Lastly, the courses are insanely cheap and Udemy runs deals on top of it. Courses often start at $10 when Offers run.
Udemy Online Courses for Just 10$:
In fact, Udemy is running a site-wide offer Right at this moment where ALL the Courses are at $10. Sign up before 25 June to take any Course for $10. Udemy varies its pricing by countries so some countries might see all courses for $15.
To continue with my Journey on Introduction to Programming, Udemy kept reminding me through newsletters that there were a variety of courses for my interest and they were all offered for a steal. Eventually, I signed up for: The Complete Web Developer Course by Rob Percival. This course has since been upgraded to The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0 by Rob Percival (Was $200 now $10). This course has had an incredible 300,000+ students and an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from 57000+ Ratings. Those are Incredible numbers by any standard.

While I still haven’t completed my complete web developer course ( I am only 60% through it) The variety of Courses on Udemy continues to astound me. I tried thinking up things I’d be willing to pay to learn and I was able to find a course for it on Udemy.
Just to give you some perspective, I have listed a select list of Diverse Udemy offers from its huge range. Enjoy!
