Anyone recommend any Udemy courses, on any topic? My experience is that there are very few where both delivery and content are good.
My own recommendations would be Stephen Grider’s React courses, and Chris Croft’s management courses.

This is his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJbGtTlrDami-tDGPUV9-w
Its worth pointing out he is not only on udemy though.
For $10, these courses are a much better value to me than the somewhat absurd process for tech books from Manning and O'Reilly that are often $50 and will be out of date in two years.
I used to be a huge tech book fan and would spend hours at Barnes and Nobles and Borders during their heyday, and they had massive sections devoted to programming and IT.
I'd hoped ebooks and cheap publishing would have brought down the price of books, especially those related to some software version that will be outdated in a short time, making the book worthless. But the industry refuses to give up their old pricing model, so maybe Udemy and similar sites can provide an alternative.
Packt is OK but a few of their courses are unintelligible due to a strong foreign accent.
Lynda (or Linkedin now) has good quality but seems more geared toward beginners, it's rare to find advanced topics.
I like Pluralsight, they have advanced topics and their foreign instructors are intelligible.
His Kafka course https://www.udemy.com/course/apache-kafka/ is highly rated and AWS courses get good feedback. A lot of effort gone in to the production and is knowledgeable on the topics.
Given the Kafka course has 56,023 registered students alone even at the lowest offer price minus Udemy fee's he's done alright out of it.
But according to some reviews it's also above average for Udemy content.
Definitely worth it if you’re looking into cross-platform frontend development.
