Why it worked

The video addresses a common pain point for aspiring programmers: the effectiveness of online courses like Udemy. By acknowledging the difficulty and the need for practical application, it resonates with viewers who may have had similar experiences or are considering such courses.

Summary

The video discusses the worth of Udemy courses, suggesting that while they can be valuable if the right course is chosen and followed through, learners often struggle to grasp the material due to the extensive hours required and the nature of programming which necessitates hands-on practice.

Structure

1Introduction to the question of Udemy course value
2The importance of choosing the right course and following through
3The challenge of understanding 60-70% of the material
4Reasons for giving up: difficulty and long hours
5The necessity of practical application and muscle memory in programming

Product placement

Udemy: ACTS - it is an online learning platform where courses are hosted and purchased. Removing it would change the subject of the video. Udemy courses: ACTS - they are the educational content being discussed and evaluated. Removing them would change the subject of the video.

I would say if you pick the right Udemy course and follow through out of it, you will most likely understand like 60 to 70 percent. I know a lot of people give up because it's not easy. It's very long hours of course that you have to go through. So let's say that you actually follow through, you put in the time and you watch the whole entire thing. Congratulations. However, you're not grasping everything in this course. Unfortunately for programming, there's this thing where we call like muscle memories. You kind of have to like move your hands to build it to be able to truly understand it.
