10 Udemy Courses Every Developer SHOULD Own (NOT just coding)

In this video, I want to share 10 Udemy Courses that I think every developer should have in their toolbox. I owe so much of my success to Udemy and have a pretty large collection of courses myself, most of all being very beneficial to me.

If you are a developer, be sure to check this video out to fill in some gaps you may have in your coding career. These are my recommended top Udemy courses, most of which I own myself and can personally vouch for.

3 books that every beginner should give a chance if they feel deeply frustrated with learning to code (like I did for a long time):
1) Eloquent Javascript (if you’re completely new to programming)
2) Smarter Way to Learn Python (the best to learn python)
3) Head First Javascript Programming (great to develop your knowledge on JS)
The beginning is the most difficult part. Get the basics right and learning anything else becomes much quicker after that.

A short overview:
1. 01:17 - A Javascript Course
2. 02:08 - A Cloud Certification Course
3. 04:16 - 100 Days of x Course
4. 06:08 - Linux Course
5. 07:52 - Algorithm Course
6. 09:20 - API Design Course
7. 11:00 - An SQL Course
8. 12:09 - Clean Code Course
9. 14:02 - I want to be a Senior Dev Course
10. 15:56 - I didn't get a Computer Science Degree Course

I just find it fascinating and to be honest really sweet of Angela Yu how much love and detail she is putting into her courses, especially the 100 days of Pyhton course. She provides you with all these Cheat Sheets, Motivational posters etc. it is so lovely.

Max/Academind has great courses for pretty much anything webdev related (Vue, React, Angular, mobile, Python, Node, SQL, Mongo, GIT...) and they all great. Because of his Vue course I got a well paid job, but all of them are great. This is actually a very good list, great work!

[alexhausen]

Please make a "part two" video. Based on the feedback from other comments it could include:
1. containers (docker/kubernetes)
2. front-end (react) and UX
3. git
4. project management/agile/development process
5. system design/architecture
6. functional programming
7. low level programming (c, c++ or rust)
8. regex
9. testing
10. ...
There are so many other good suggestions, thank you so much!

[stephensouvall]

I really appreciate the emphasis on foundational skills and mindset in this list. I feel like most videos like this would be about xyz cool language/trendy technology/etc so it’s nice to get some advice on how to obtain some fundamentals. Being 2 years in as a bootcamp-taught developer it’s become clear how important all these skills are and how badly I lack them, definitely going to work through these courses. Thanks!

[jayarajlcc]

Travis, as far as Java Script is concerned, Anthony Alicea’s “understanding java script the weird parts “ is a great one. It reinforces the fundamentals

[naveensaimoyya]

I personally can't go with the course, but follow instructors who make us think properly. A few of them are already covered in thistle video like ZTM - Andrei Neagoi, Ranga Karanam, Scott duffy, Angela Yu, jose portilla, Maximillian. Some more to consider would be Abdul Bari, Mosh Hamedani, Brad Traversy, Leila Gharani, Peter Hanley, Bharat Thippireddy, Boris Paskhaver, Navin Reddy.

[dave_di]

Great video Travis! UX design courses like the one on Coursera could be helpful as well. Couldn't hurt to know a few design and accessibility concepts which could help as a developer. I'm sure there are good ones on Udemy as well.

[manuelayala]

Thank you Travis, great video! the only udemy course that I would add to your list is "React - The Complete Guide (incl Hooks, React Router, Redux)" from Maximilian Schwarzmüller, the best udemy react course, once again thanks for all of your content Travis, it's a great guide!

A Udemy teacher who teaches computer science concepts in detail is Vignesh Sekar. He has course series on operating systems, computer architecture, the theory of computation, discrete math and database management. I think the first two categories might be helpful for programmers specializing in IoT, C++, apps that depend a lot on multithreading, and so forth. I'm not sure who the third and fourth categories would be useful for: I took a discrete math class in college (university) and I think it helps me a little with logic and binary numbers, but I'm not sure how much. The last category could be useful for SQL developers, aspiring DBA's, etc. I'm taking the database management series now. The best thing to do is either take a CS series that you're curious about or wait until you need to learn a topic, rather than trying to learn a lot of theory just because you think you should.

[soulofangel]

I think you should include Docker and Kubernetes, they are becoming essential for most frameworks.

Jonas' course on JavaScript is incredible.

I've been taking it for a little over a month now, and it's crazy how I went from no knowledge to where I am now, I've made a couple of small webapps. And that isn't much, but I'm only a third of the way through.

Take that course if you need to know JS. Seriously.

[michaelm]

I really appreciate this video because for me personally I'm always looking to develop my skills no matter how much I know or think I know (I'm a full-stack/front-end focused developer). Some of these I can disagree with to a point but find myself agreeing with you on almost everything to a certain degree and I'm sure this is because my experiences are similar to yours but not the same. Either way there are stages that we go through in our professional endeavors and I think this is a comprehensive way to envelop yourself into a successful environment.

[waynewheaton]

Great video! I have been developing for 25+ years and there is always something to learn or to brush up on. These online course are great for Jr developers to get up to speed quickly. Also, they are great for us old timers trying to stay current.

[patricksudbrink]

I started becoming a self taught programmer when I was 14. By the time I got to college, my college courses didn't teach me much on coding, as I already understood the fundamentals. What really helped me to grow, was my first coding job, working under a senior software developer. He helped me learn best practices and how to code in a cleaner, more efficient style, that I wouldn't have learned just working on my own. Now I have been working in software for almost 15 years and I still find that his instruction was invaluable. My biggest recommendation to all junior software developers, or anyone who is getting started with coding, is usually to find a mentor who already knows these clean design styles. Glad to see that you included a course like that in your list!

[younisamedi]

Great work! I will add this to number 10:
1. Computer Organization and Architecture
2. Data Structure & Algorithms in pure C language courses

I have paid for some courses, but found a free course here on Youtube to be much better. Here's the channel name: Neso Academy. I hope this helps some people.

[throwbacknba]

I like the idea of having a course as sort of a reference, a textbook or a cheatsheet. It's good if these courses are made with that in mind. Awesome

[brnheavymetal]

Nice list, most of them I had already, and I started a long DevOps course recently that covers the Linux and Cloud. The "I want to be a Senior" is something really underrated, most developers focus only on technical things and forget that there are a lot of important things in your career besides coding.

[luisfelipeferinsgursky]

Amazing content Travis! I haven't heard abou the 100 days of x courses and just loved the idea, great way to get introduced to a new language and get its common do's and don'ts, thanks for sharing!
