Overall Satisfaction with Udacity
I have used Udacity for my career development and to improve my job performance. The course is well structured. It taught me the foundation of computer science and front end development. As an alumnus with two Nanodegrees, I can say the content of the lessons on audacity is by far the most elaborate, rich and comprehensive compared to other online learning platforms I have used.
- More than fourteen projects between two Nanodegrees. You can showcase these projects in your portfolio.
- Real-time feedback and a community of supporters.
- Knowledge hub/base with easy search and some really useful information.
- Slack channels were a little disorganized.
- The prices are a little bit higher compared to other platforms.
- Some courses and tooling for the projects were outdated.
- Udacity provided me with multiple projects that I could showcase in a portfolio.
- Gained a lot of knowledge with different languages, tooling, and frameworks.
- A better understanding of computer science.
Udacity has more structured learning that provides lots of practice and challenges you to create projects by a certain deadline. Udemy has very reasonable prices however, the courses do not challenge you. Pluralsight is almost the same as Udemy but at a higher price. LinkedIn Learning has quick courses to the point that they do not challenge you. Udacity excels at providing you a lot of learning support and the other companies do not provide any learning support at all.
