I'm considering getting a udacity nanodegree, though I'm not 100% certain which field. I work as a web developer now, but would like to dive into either AI (general or for financial trading) or blockchain.
I'm a big fan of Udemy courses, mostly for building fun web apps or react native apps, but it seems like Udacity offers more educational resources instead of just code-alongs.
I'm looking for advice based on the following criteria:
- As Udemy is much cheaper ($200 courses are often on sale for $15), are the Udacity courses that much better at teaching and applying concepts?
- Is the online support effective? I did an online coding bootcamp a couple of years ago, and the lack of support was a nightmare - I don't want to find myself in that position again given the price.
- Is my lack of specific interest (I'm looking at most AI courses or a blockchain one) going to be a big issue? For example, is the gravity of the decision closer to say, choosing a class vs choosing a major?
Any advice is greatly appreciated - thank you!
submissions restricted LOL
what happened ?
too many people posted about getting ripped off ?
Nanodegrees and techdegrees which treehouse offers are all scams. For places that want a degree the only one that will matter will come from a college. For those that dont care, they wont give two you know whats if youwent to college, studied through udemy, or got some nanodegree.
Thing to keep in mind too is this. The projects you would be doing are the EXACT same as everyone else. Yes,that's also true of udemy but its a heck of a lot cheaper. The idea isnt to use these projects on a resume (seriously do NOT do that) but rather to give you an idea of how things work and provide you the tools and knowledge to go out on your own.
Udacity vs Udemy vs Coursera vs edX, which one takes the cake?
Udemy vs Coursera vs Udacity

Be wary of Udacity - opt for books and cheaper sites like Udemy
How much research do you do before writing your e-learning reviews?
How do you choose which online course sites to review?
How is this e-learning review platform different from others?

Gonna start learning code, been learning python on codecademy but I want to learn language(s) in-depth, something I don't get with codecademy. I don't mind if the course is paid, I just want it to keep me engaged, and one that is in-depth. Please also specify the format of the courses (video, text, both etc), and which one you found to be effective. Thanks.
