Update: Courses have returned to their regular pricing.
Udemy is a leader in online learning. 13,000 instructors. 35,000 courses. Over 9,000,000 students. The current Udemy Black Friday Sale has 17,000 online courses on sale for between $10-$15. The courses normally run upwards of $199.
If you’re looking for an additional way to learn WordPress (aside from reading WP Smackdown, of course :-)), I’ve picked through Udemy’s huge selection of online classes and compiled a list of the top 10 WordPress courses. They range from beginner courses, to Bootstrap theme development, a plugin development course, WordPress security, and more.
Starting on Nov 20th, the prices have gone up from $10 to $11 dollars. They will increase $1 every other day, until the 27th when all Udemy coupons will expire.
Let’s jump into the list of top WordPress courses… or you could always browse ALL of Udemy’s 17,000 courses for under $15.
