They're pretty good, I used to grade student papers and exercises for them. 15$ a pop for some noobies first HTML code, easiest money ever.

I have no idea how much value a Udacity nano-degree holds in the workplace, but getting certification never hurts, and it's a good website to get into programming.

well they have a thing where you pay extra and they have a job guarantee in 6months or a refund, which is very tempting to take.

I'm going to have to learn programming eventually so I was really looking at this as a fast way to get into tech vs a degree

>paying money to learn something you can learn for free
>getting a "certification" that is worth less than a basic portfolio
