This udemi course is good in many ways. Excellent to fall asleep. The videos are very long and html needs a lot of text. Udemy keeps the screen active even during pause so it drinks battery. Even so it explains everything very well. I do not plan to write much but understanding html I steal here and there is good. The concepts are well explained and I can see a lot of use for this. The new things that come with html5 are of particular interest. I have been a great fan of plots and forms and J used to be very good at it. I have not been very happy needing to learn new ways of doing forms and plots but after listening to the course a little bit and looking a bit of JHS interacting with this I am beginning to see the benefits. There is so much more to be fiddled with in html5 and a lot of tools to connect to. In graphics and such there are solutions to a lot of things I have been wanting to do with the old tools. There are obviously hell of a lot of more people using and working on html5. Still the long courses and the huge amount of data needed to get things going is a bit much so I am not looking forward needing to look/listen through them many times. But as a result there is so much you can do. My needs are more needs for understanding and then copy/paste. Being long is not really boring. I guess what is needed is a plan to listen on a regular bases a bit at a time and try not to fall asleep too soon.
