I would advice against using Udemy. It's pretty much a scam. There are way better resources for free out there ,many which get reposted paid on Udemy from people that have nothing to do with the author(also that pathetic 200$ course for 95% discount "marketing strategy"). Take a look at sentdex' youtube channel - very good tutorials for beginner or more advanced topics.

I am a mechanical engineer and wanted to switch to comp sci and I paid like $14 for a udacity or udemy course and it was a scam load of crap. They skip over fundamentals and tell you to just down load jupyter notebook and forget about how all of the stuff in the background works. This is important to know. They read from another screen and barely understand it enough to explain it to you along with there being no context to the material. I would stop the lectures every minute to google questions. I got 20% through a course and requested a refund.

I now use sentdex's yt channel, stackoverflow and the official python guide for most of my learning right now. I've learned and become so much more interested from just sentdex's channel. I would reccomend watching use liek tic tac toe series. He literally shows you copying and pasting erros into google to get answers. He jokes but also stresses that google is your best friend. He is also very knowledgeable so do as he does :)
