Google Summer of Code

The journey started in early 2018. What made my experience a fantastic one was the latter part of my nanodegree program, when my laptop was stolen. I had to write to Udacity immediately. I almost gave up because I was on my third project but it all ended... Read More well at the end when I persisted and got a new laptop.

I started my journey with Udacity scared and unsure if I had the technical knowledge and skills to complete it. 6 months later I emerged a whole new person with programming skills and technical abilities that I had no idea I could master. Udacity truly... Read More transformed me as a professional. Obtaining the Android Basics Nanodegree enabled me to get a job as a developer and get into automation. It lit a development fire in me that burns to this day! I found the mentor system to be an incredible way to get quick feedback and identify areas of improvement. The udacity student community played a vital role in empowering me on those crusial first few weeks of the course, it was my go-to place to get help on errors or share best practices and help others on their development journey. The course did require a big investment of time, especially for a beginner like me, but the investment came back ten fold! Looking back, it was one of the best career decisions I have ever made. Thank you, Udacity!

as many students I had problems with online courses.
I would start a course and never finish it.
until I started my nanodegree , udacity felt different since day 1
and that is because it is industrial and not academic
You know why you learn this and how... Read More to use it step by step in a project

You learn at your own pace and the course are very well thought out of. The hardest part is to stay motivated and stay consistent.

My life has been changed because of The Journey of Udacity :)
I have a bachelor in accounting but I'd love to study the programming but I couldn't because my degree in High school wasn't enough to join a college related with programming , so I found Udacity... Read More through a scholarship sponsors by Google and my dreams was started when I saw this scholarship and the classroom and found friends have the same passion with programming and Web Development ,
It was awesome experience and it was the beginning ,
and my life has changed because I worked as a Web Developer and I got 10 times my old salary when I was an accountant !! ^_^
so I got a lot of money and I get married ^_^ , it was difficult to marry when I got a weak salary
and I gain the trust when I attend the interviews , and I gain more experience
The pros were awesome , I didn't find a full course about Front End Web Development in the internet better than Udacity ,
because it was an arranged syllabus,
there was a mentor-ship program which offers a mentor for us to help us,
it was making a group to bring people together to help each other
we gained from Udacity a lot of motivations when anyone feels he wouldn't continue ,
This wasn't the end , it was the beginning because it opens a new fields like AI, Machine Learning, Mobile Applications made by React Native ... etc
and I started to learn course about computer science to see another Nanodegree on Udacity related with these topics
I love Udacity and I have been telling my success story to everyone about Udacity and advice everyone to study with Udacity.
Thank Udacity ^_^

At first I was skeptical about the online program, but when I started studying following the curriculum it was as if I was in a physical classroom. Udacity created an opportunity for their learner's to interact with other learner's and mentors were also... Read More provided for us. I was a great experience whenever I get stocked or confused on any lesson I have the mentor to guide me through. The only thing I'll say was really an issue was the videos weren't long enough but even with the short videos the explanation was good
