HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the late 90’s, I began editing websites using visual editors and HTML. \u00a0Later I learned a little about content management systems (CMS) and created a small experimental site with Joomla. \u00a0It wasn’t until June 2015 that I discovered\u00a0Udemy<\/strong>\u00a0online. Web development courses struck a chord. Currently, my primary interest is\u00a0WordPress<\/a><\/strong> development. Thus many link examples are to WordPress<\/a> sites. I aspire to become a true web developer. \u00a0Udemy may be the way to attain my dream job – working as a freelancer in web development and design.<\/p>\n

UDEMY COURSE PASSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since discovering online education, I became passionate about the educational opportunities offered by Udemy. In excitement, over the last\u00a0year,\u00a0I enrolled in over 8,000 courses.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expensive?<\/p>\n

It would seem so.\u00a0Check Udemy course prices<\/a>.\u00a0Lengthy development courses go for $299 and up. Standard courses are often priced from $99 to $199. To be fair, Udemy also has thousands of courses under\u00a0$100 plus many are\u00a0free! \u00a0(UPDATE BELOW)<\/em><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> \u00a0Udemy course prices changed this year!<\/p>\n
