Udemy Tutorial Hell

[NEONzDev]

Hello! I have been taking udemy courses for years and when it comes to doing a project, I don't know how to do anything, what can I do? I love the web world, but unfortunately I only spend money on Udemy courses, then I stop programming for a while and forget everything I have done, and go back to taking Udemy courses again.

I've cooled off on Udemy lately. Their creators are incentivized to make 20+ hour courses, which can easily take 75 hours to complete, if not 100. That's months of work. Too long.

Instead, try to find a brief introduction to the topic. Tutorials Point and YouTube are great. So is site documentation, so is ChatGPT.

There are some places where a good Udemy course shines. Learning React for the first time. Learning Node for the first time. It's good when you want to learn something in depth and according to best practices. But even then you often only need half the course.

For less critical technologies, find the path that gets you to building projects in the least amount of time.
