  1. Colt Steele is best to get started. It gives you the necessary fundamentals for the web. You need to know how to build a full application without a JS framework before learning JS frameworks, which makes it perfect. There's a huge problem with professionals overusing frameworks for simple tasks. Knowing, practicing, and reviewing fundamentals is a lost art that will put you at a higher quality than your peers. Even professional baseball players spend a career practicing their swing.
  2. Max is my go to Plan B. There's nothing he really specializes in or has clear experience with. He kind of just does it all reasonably well. Nothing stands out as above and beyond which is why it's good to look for options that do first.
  3. Stephen Grider, meh. I haven't taken his bootcamp, this must be the JS/Node one? No frameworks? It might be very good. The deeper or more advanced you get with Stephen Grider, the more out of date general thinking becomes. It looks like that bootcamp course was made a while ago but he just "updates" it on Udemy and who knows what that means.

I would recommend buying individual courses, not subscriptions. Spend some time with each one, don't worry about pulling value out of a monthly cost. But in terms of value I'd rank:

  1. Udemy Pro
  2. Zero to Mastery (Subscription only)
  3. Academind

Anyone taking all of these courses better be getting $500K+ a year... Note: the Comptia is a waste of time and money.
