What do you like best about the product?

I had no clear expectations when I signed up for a nanodegree program almost three years ago, but I swiftly adapted to Udacity's approach towards the learning cycle. It was blended with short videos, articles, and quizzes that created a dynamic and direct engaging experience. The modular structure of the courses helped a lot because I had a full-time job at that time. What really got me into it were the practical tasks. Those long nights with the rush of submission followed by satisfaction over tackling the intellectual puzzle are still in my memories. The insights from industrial experts were the key to my development - they led me to improve my skills beyond what I had planned.

What do you dislike about the product?

They do not have the particular nanodegrees I want. I'm hoping for a full two-part program on AWS serverless development. A program that walks through the entire spectrum, from minor to medium projects, would be the ideal combination of study goals for me now.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Udacity's help, I developed my core JavaScript skills. As a developer who juggles work and continuous learning, I needed a program that was both efficient and budget-friendly. Udacity achieved that too, giving me the opportunity to polish my technical abilities with great speed and no cost. The project-based way of practical learning meant I could straightaway use what I was experiencing at work, a big plus for my career growth.
