In the last few weeks, I’ve gone through a few courses on the Udacity since I’ve been looking to update my JavaScript skills. The Udacity courses are mostly videos, but short and to the point. I often have trouble following along with videos when they’re too long and would rather have the transcript, but it was not a problem with those courses. It’s easy to follow along, and there are often chances to try out the material immediately instead of having to watch an hour of video before doing anything.<\/p>\n
The courses are also not as close to the format of a university course than Coursera or Edx: the focus is on a specific subject, such as testing JavaScript or responsive design. There is no extra fluff beside the main subject, so you need to listen to the basic courses in HTML and JavaScript if you don’t already have a background in it.<\/p>\n
Also, I was able to go through the courses faster than the posted times in most of the case: it’s easy to squeeze in a few videos and an exercise when you have a bit of spare time.<\/p>\n
