The best place to learn to code
What do you like best about the product?
The nanodegrees are awesome, they push you to the limits and make you go one step further. Also, they have really really good free courses and I would encourage anyone to take them. The point is they are technical oriented, and we lack good technical and specific education.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually I don't dislike anything. They are on the land of excellence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Until one week ago I was a nanodegree student. They also provide you half tuition back and help you get a job for sure or they return your money back. Also they have a lot of resources career oriented and a lot of best practices for a wide variety of ranges. Love them!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't overthink, this is the way to go. If I would be starting again, I will start here directly.

Best online learning platform
What do you like best about the product?
First of all, it does have an awesome design, it's very nice to look at the website. But apart from that, it's also a great online learning platform. The fact that the videos are not too long is also very good, it helps to keep me focused while learning and that's a big plus... Because when I start to watch a lecture and it's too long, after a few minutes, without noticing, I've already opened a new tab and went surfing the web.
What do you dislike about the product?
I couple years ago, when Udacity started, they would give free certificates of completion for their courses. Nowadays, you can only get one of those if you subscribe to their nanodegree courses. I feel like for an american, 200 USD may not be that much for education. But coming from a third world country, it is very expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just trying to improve my web development skills, and learning new technologies. I've recently finished my degree in university, and Udacity helps me keep fresh with the latest technologies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do as many courses as you can, because they are great. And If you do have the money, join the nanodegree program, I've heard from an american friend they are great.

What do you like best about the product?
Wide-ranging vocational classes, particularly in programming and computer science. Paid programs include coaching, standardized feedback, and verified certificates. Career opportunities may await Nanodegree graduates.What really sets Udacity’s program apart from others (like Coursera’s), however, is the support they give you outside of just teaching data science skills. They set up “office hours” where you can ask questions about the Nanodegree, provide resources on how to conduct informational interviews, and identify data science sites that those looking to break into the industry should read frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Discussion forums need work. Free classes are solitary, and offer little meaningful feedback. Employment promises are not yet proven. Comparatively limited language support. The Nanodegree program, along with all nontraditional certification programs (such as the Coursera Data Science Specialization, which I have also complete all the classes for), is unproven.Employers may simply not know enough about the program to trust it yet over, say, the University of Washington program that another poster mentioned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For the right class of learner, Udacity offers an eclectic portfolio of online professional and vocational classes backed by tech industry titans. Much like the requirements for a college major, each track has prerequisites, core courses, and elective courses. There is also a project portfolio requirement where you work with a coach to demonstrate the skills you learned by producing 6-8 useable projects relevant to the track you chose.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Udacity hosts and produces course content, but because its programs are developed hand-in-hand with corporate sponsors, Udacity says its credentials are "built and recognized by industry leaders to advance your career." That remains to be seen, but credentials are more expensive than offerings from Coursera and edX, both of which cater to a similar demographic (tech-savvy adult learners). While Udacity course content is free to peruse, learners will have to pay for proof of enrollment (verified certificates).
