| $600, for a React course, are you serious? I know it's 20 hours of content, but so are many Udemy courses. Many similar courses can be found for $10-$20 on Udemy.com (be sure to reset cookies/create a new account if you see higher prices. Apparently they only show discounted prices to new customer accounts.). For $600, a person could probably buy the majority or even entirety of Udemy.com's React courses -- Maybe somewhere around 500-1000 hours of content (rough estimation). For example, this course has for 48 hours of content for $20.
https://www.udemy.com/course/react-tutorial-and-projects-cou... I've found Udemy has great content. Plus there's Youtube. Kent, I understand that you're a solo entrepreneur and that you offer premium knowledge in your content. But I wouldn't pay more than $100. I don't think the knowledge you offer is monopolized by your course, I think it can be found through many other learning resources (books, videos, docs). _____ Edit: just found out via another comment that Kent developed react-testing-library. That's awesome. So, Kent is likely someone who knows a ton about ReactJS, including truly expert, insider knowledge. That said, $600 is still a crazy amount to charge to consumers. Maybe you'd charge that at an in-person seminar/workshop. But to the internet public in general? Seems greedy. |
An educational resource existing for less cost and longer duration doesn’t translate into anything real without quality ciriculum and instruction.
A lot of content on both YouTube and Udemy is…not great. And even then not necessarily curated in a certain way, etc.
Furthermore, courses like this in general often are geared at developers/engineers who are already employed and could even get reimbursement/coverage for from their employer, which offsets or eliminates the cost entirely.
