Anyone used these courses?
Are they any good as a starting point to understanding code?

My experience with Udemy has been with attempting to learn to code apps with xCode and to learn Mandarin Chinese.
After a year I can do neither.
Haha.
To be honest I didn't invest any time really in either. I got excited when I first signed up and downloaded a load of courses that looked of interest and when some offers came out I jumped at them too.
They are good at that - having random sales so you jump at buying new courses.
There are many different ways to learn and many different ways to teach and that's where Udemy kind of annoyed me. The courses are by people who are using their own way to teach. Some might be really good at explaining things, others are terrible. Sometimes even someone's accent, the speed they talk or repetition of a phrase whilst teaching e.g "OK, you understand..." or something like that can be annoying when watching.
I don't think that you can learn solely from using UDEMY but I do think it's a good helping hand to add to reading books or attending short/night courses at university.

Udemy will be a hit or miss based on the instructors. There was a course where I learned a lot, and there was a course where I felt like a mom tutorial on youtube.

All I know of them is that I gave up on an email account because they overrun it with spam.
