I don't think your point of view is valid because i have learned so much from udemy, they may not professors but they are knowledgeable about what they are teaching, and also you cannot get a certificate only by purchasing the course you need to follow the course first this rule is valid for most of the courses, and also they update their courses every day. This is a platform for broke students. And the teachers are really good lecturers. You cannot learn about riding a bicycle by seeing it riding, you need to try it out by yourself and then you can learn. I have seen some negative views on udemy but udemy students have a totally different and positive view. Because they are the ones who struggle to learn something. Never give up on learning guys. 😊

[@MusingsbyAmit]

This simply means you have not watched the video. In the video I explain how to select the right course on Udemy. Because it is an independent platform.

[@artszy8184]

Yeah, maybe and maybe not, but some of your viewers misunderstood you. Read the comments. I don't really care about what people say I just clicked your video. I was giving people some encouragement. I'm not here to judge you. You were simply saying that choose the right course carefully. But I felt like you were lowering the value of udemy courses. I simply think that anyone can understand how to choose the right course.

[@MusingsbyAmit]

@@artszy8184 I can help people who watch my video and cannot do anything when someone comments without watching. Also my views may not align with everyone. There is a wise saying - To fail, you have to do nothing but for success, you certainly have to do something. So I read all the positive comments, I read questions and answer them, but I can do nothing for people who do not watch my videos or people who are 100X smarter than me. What can I do about them? Nothing.

@Musings by Amit . Sir am studying in mechanical engineering , I want to study python is it useful ?

[@MusingsbyAmit]

@@muralidhara5074 Yes Python is very useful in today's date. It is the most popular programming language also easy to learn than other languages. In your case, because you are studying Mechanical Engineering you can very well think about IoT - Internet Of Things. There are companies in India like Kalyani Brakes that are developing IoT modules to control their Lathe Machines. With your knowledge of Mechanical Engineering + if you learn to program in Python + If you learn how you can use Python for IoT then you will make yourself very valuable to the traditional manufacturing industries where your combined skills will be revered. Also, most of the automobile companies are looking for software engineers to build programs related to automobiles. Again your knowledge of Mechanical Engineering and Python programming will really help. But work hard to become good in both the fields. That combination is powerful. If you just learn Python and start competing with Computer Engineers then it may not work that well. You have to use your programming in industries you have a natural inclination. I hope this helps you. If this helps you then share this video with your friends on Whatsapp.

My main reason for buying udemy courses are that they have a good material and they help me understand concepts better. I buy courses when they're on sale for like RS 200-400 which if you think about it costs as much as a book. In fact books could cost more depending on author and subject.

There are other sites and I'm sure even those teachers may have excellent knowledge, but I'm quite satisfied with Udemy so couldn't move on to other websites.

@@saurabhbisht2238 No. But some companies value certificates. The certificate is only a door opener. When the HR or Recruiters see them, then they feel that maybe this is the right candidate because he has spent additional time to complete a certificate course. Doing projects is also good. If you did projects that are live and working, then they are best. If you have done projects just for learning, then again, the value depends on how complex is your project. Does it cover server side coding, client-side coding, database access, etc. In such cases certificate can help. In our times MS certification was very valuable. Engineers with MS Certification were given more salary.

Coursera is better because it is the same course conducted in the Universities across the World. They also have certification, which has more value.

Focus on mastering the skills more than getting the certificate. Certification is only to get a job interview after that you still have to prove yourself.

You just create a work flow using simple setting that will help you create a process flow. In that case you need to only learn the tools. So find out what tools are out there. Find out what jobs are available on those tools. Then you see what the job description says. Based on that chose a course that will help you learn those tools. Sometimes such training can be very costly because the tools are used only in certain areas. So do some research and you will find out more.

Sir Is it worth mentioning a coursera certification I have done from University of California. Does the recruiter look for it ?

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Yes if you have done the Capstone Project and your assessment is good then why not. Also I would suggest that you should mention any certificate you have. Because it shows that you are learning on your own. This is a very big attribute that companies look for. But if you show a certificate then you better be prepared for tough questioning. Because people will want to find out how good you are. So make sure that with certification on your resume as badge of honour also be ready to show the wounds you have from the battle of learning whatever you were trying to learn.

Look, anything you learn is valuable if you can use it to create something. If it is only a part of your memory then it has no meaning. After you learn something use it to create something useful and valuable. When you do that people will value your work. They will put a price on that work. You will get paid precisely based on the value you can creatr.

Digital Marketing is a vast subject. For a 12th student you first need to learn marketing. Then you can understand digital marketing. Because if you just go for digital markering then you may understand how to place ads on various platforms because that is what they teach. But you will not know why a certain ads work or not. So go step by step if you want to make a good career. Also avoid the DM trap where you go because there is a promise of making money. That is a dangerous trap.

Hello Archana, I am a very hopeful person. And once I decide I want to do something I will find out every thing required to do that. Now I don't know how willing you are to face the failures of trying to get into the software industry after such a long break. One thing you can do is learn the lastest technologies like Data Science from a reputed place like the one mentioned on this page amitpatels.com/resources You will have to work hard to not only do the course well but also score well in all the assignments and assessment that will give you a certificate. If you can do that then you can have a fresh start. You cannot depend on your education that was completed 10 years ago. You will have to learn few things in todays date. You can also learn Full Stack Web Development or .NET as these fields are easy to get into. But if you can really learn even one of the latest technologies I have mentioned in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4Oqq5SYg9Gem9k then you can certainly make a mark in the software industry. Also there are other areas you can explore like Testing, Support, Project Management which may not need programming skills.

A lot of small companies do not advertise anywhere. Speak to all your friends and seniors from your college. Speak to your professors to ask for a reference from Seniors in your college. They will be placed in some company or other. Try to find a job in those companies. Till you find a job your only job is to find a job. Also, switch off the news that says that there are no jobs.

Actually you have academic report in every course like marks secured in every category or test even though you audit course just keep the course in your dashboard(never unenroll) and show to the person whenever you need it.The thing is the companies mostly demand a real world project(in my experience) and Later If you love Data science and growing on rapid pace you can try Kaggle for real world project and Data Science community where you can find many real world challenges......Never lose hope(like me) and keep exploring.

One more thing is the cost. You do the analysis on the Cost of the courses. On Coursera, the cost is mostly of certification. So it comes to around $49 to max $199. Also in $199, you can get a Coursera Plus subscription. It is mentioned on the resources page here amitpatels.com/resources The link of 3000+ courses. In that, you can subscribe to Coursera for 1 year and complete more than one course applicable to you with certification. But first, check the courses that are offered. But there is one final thing. If you are not worried about the cost then do the certification from a place that you like the most. You should not have a single doubt in your mind. Otherwise, you will feel that you made the wrong decision.

How many weeks are needed in course of python

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Hi Sheetal, If you are doing any course from Coursera or Edx then there are two types of course. One is a single course which takes two to six weeks. This depends on how many hours you study and then practice. Also how well you understand. If you do any specialisation then it takes anywhere between four to six months. In one specialisation there will be five to six different courses on the same subject. E.g. this is a Python Specialisation bit.ly/38JP4yt this takes more than 4 to 6 months. You can see that there are 5 courses in this, 1. Python for Everybody. 2. Python Data Structures. 3. Web Development with Python. 4. Using Databases with Python and 5. Capstone Project. So if you just do one single course like Python for Everybody it will take less time than the complete specialisation with all the five courses. That is the difference. Here is my suggestion. Take a book or take a basic python course. Do that in such a way that you can get a job. After that you can go for specialisation. If I have to do this then I will focus on doing anything that will get me a job first and then along with my job I will do all kinds of specialisation. Once I am confident that I know enough - I will either tell my present company where I am doing a job - or look for some better job with all the added expertise. I hope this helps you.

I will have to check out Jose’s course. Anyway, great video. I took a lot of courses on Udemy in regards to React web development and asp api development. I noticed that after a while, you realize that most courses start to repeat stuff. It seams it is a great platform for fundamentals and basics, but when it come to more advanced features. It has been tough to find what I am looking for. So I am finding that looking up docs and just building stuff becomes more important than the courses on Udemy. What has been your experience? Also if you know any good places that cover more advanced topics, please let us know. I have also now started to take more CS classes on Coursera.

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Yes true, If you understand Udemy it is an independent platform where anyone can take a course. So you will find that different courses have the same teachings. But if you go to places like Coursera or Edx then you will find that there the courses are university level. These are designed specifically for the industry. These courses may look very vast but they are required to teach the complete topic in depth. That I feel is the difference. Doing practice is a very good thing. Try to build a really meaningful full application right from design to development to implementation. That will help you a lot.

JavaScript and Java are two different things. You should first find out what you want to do. Don't think about the programming language. Think about the programming stack. If you just learn how to code in any programming language today it will not get you the best job. But when you learn a programming stack. For eg Full Stack JavaScript means you know how to write Serverside and Clientside Code with JavaScript. Like you know Angular or JQuery or Vue for Client-Side and then Node JS for Serverside and you also know how to program with MongoDB database. In the same manner, you have Full Stack Java or Full Stack .NET. So focus on these. For web development, Javascript is in popular demand nowadays.

Because think about this. If you get a fat hike and the company has to layoff people then who will they try to layoff first. People with fat hikes. So you should have a good salary but a steadily increasing salary. First sit and think what companies you want to work for. If you pick product companies. Then your salary potential will be good. Then you think of your skills. Can you add a few more things to your skills? Look at skills that add to your present skills. Talk to someone in QA and find out what kinds of skills you can enhance. Once you do that things will turn out good for you. Best wishes.

Try to find someone who has a similar case where they transitioned from some other stream into testing. What did they do and what was their journey? According to that plan. Certification is only like an advanced ticked. Maybe someone will see your certificate and give you an opportunity for an interview. After that only your skills and knowledge can help you. About Pluralsight talk to someone in support through email or chat or phone. Explain your situation. They will tell you what is good for you. They may even know companies where this skill is required. Also with the current situation there will be a lot of focus on Automation in the near future. Also find someone in your circle maybe your friends or someone in your company who is an expert on selenium. Even if you do a course online. Because it will help you to upgrade fast also it will help if you get stuck. Maybe some position may open in those projects. Also keep an eye for lateral movement in your company. It is much easier than finding something outside. Certification can also help in lateral movement. Best wishes.

Sir right now i am doing BTech in electrical engineering and I want to develop some software skills so that i can use them to boost my career but i don't know much about what to do...so can you please give some suggestions regarding that?

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Do some research on IoT. Since you are from Electrical Engineering. You can develop your knowledge in things where you can integrate electrical systems with programming. Also learn Rasberry Pi. How you can develop programs to interact with systems using devices like Rasberry Pi. Start with one programming language. Learn the basics then find out more about what kind of programming is done in companies dealing with electrical. That will be amazing combination.

Hello Sir, Sir can you suggest some courses that would add skill and an additional skill in my resume and me after completing mechanical engineering. Plz, help me, sir?

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Hello Faizan, Since you belong to the mechanical field. You can look at 3D Printing or Digital Manufacturing. You can find some courses on the PDF I have on this page amitpatels.com/resources . You can check the section marked 3D Printing. Also when you follow the link on that website you can search for Manufacturing. Because digital manufacturing is one of the upcoming fields. Another field you can focus on is IoT but in this you will have to learn programming. So if you are interested in programming then you can combine your knowledge of Mechanical and IoT to start your career in this field. Since you are a student, think which of your subjects you like the most. Explore those subjects further and try to see what you can do. There is nothing in the world that is impossible. Only you need to have some passion so that you can create a long term career. Best wishes.

Sir, I am doing a course on machine learning simultaneously from coursera (Andrew Ng from Stanford) and udemy (Kirill Ceremenko). Both the courses are excellent, but in coursera, they teach in Matlab and Udemy through Python. I wish to proceed in Python. I am not interested in learning Matlab or Octave, which are very old and like calculators . Hence, is there any valuable certificate course, in which they teach Artificial Intelligence using Python? I think Python is an excellent and versatile platform, so that I wish to do everything in it.

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Hi K Ramakrishna, When I was learning programming in National Competence in Software Technology they were using Pascal to teach data structures instead of C or C++. What was the reason? The reason is to learn the theory behind the required technology. If you know the theory then you can easily apply any programming language to the theory. But since you are insisting here is a course from IBM on Data Science bit.ly/2VHurxM you will find Data Science, AI & ML implementation using Python. Also, you will be able to work with MS SQL. MS SQL is my favorite Database. It is very easy to use and can do amazing things.

Hello K S Ramakrishnan, Since you are interested in the subject of data science this is my new video on data science kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnKccpSNg9dmsLs. You can watch a premiere today at 10:15 AM.

Sir, will the certificate of advance excel help me in CAT entrance selection

[@MusingsbyAmit]

I have no idea about CAT, but in that, they only look at your score if I am right? Any certification you do will be useful for your job. Also, an advanced excel certificate will be helpful in situations that require this kind of certification. I don't know its value for CAT. You may ask this question on Quora. Maybe someone there will give you an answer. If you have any questions related to the software industry, then I can attempt to answer only if I know the answer.

[@Lucream2]

Quality of the Certificate is also questionable. If anyone who works at Udemy can read this massage please help to improve the Udemy Certificate content. They used to have a better appreated certificate and now the placement of the certificate content is outside the A4 page which makes it hard to print.

[@techwith8356]

Change to speed to 2x and thank me later 👍🏻

[@MusingsbyAmit]

Why later? Thank you now itself.

[@thienhuynh5706]

For me Udemy courses are useful. And of course the certificate is the final reward after completing the lessons but from my own experience it's a great door to get an overall understanding when start learning something from scratch.

Sir for a 3rd year BE ECE drop out what kind of course will support to get in to a job..like CCNA.

[@MusingsbyAmit]

CCNA itself is a course or certification. That will give you networking abilities. You can also do some specialisation from the courses I have mentioned in PDF. You will find the PDF in amitpatels.com under resources menu.

[@MusingsbyAmit]

You can find out who are your friends various software companies and whether there are any Data Analyst jobs in those companies. Or you can go to job boards like linkedin or naukri etc and start applying for data analyst jobs. Make sure you read the job description for Data Analyst jobs and then prepare for your interview and resume accordingly.
