What’s the Best Online Course You’ve Ever Taken?
What are the best online courses worth taking? I’ve taken courses in Google Analytics, Python, HTML/CSS and SQL, and I still use what I learned.
What’s the best online course I’ve ever taken? I’ve taken a few, and some of them have actually been useful long after I finished the course.
I did take the Google Analytics certification, and it was very good. I also found some great deals on Udemy. Courses on Python, HTML/CSS, and SQL were very good.
I even used some of what I learned to create a simple site for a fellow blogger, “CJ Antichow” Her Blog is

The site I created for her (The Sidney Project) is hosted through GitHub, where I keep the code, and we added a purchased domain to make it more professional.
These were not courses I had to take. I took them because I wanted to learn more. They were well structured, had lifetime access, and the content and documentation were great.
When I look for a course on Udemy, there are a lot of choices, but I tend to stick with courses rated highly and with tens of thousands of students. That’s usually a good sign that the course is worth considering.
I did the same thing with this site that I set up for myself to use with my small business hobby, Old Guy Web Works. I still host it on GitHub Pages, although I will eventually establish a domain name for it.

I still use these courses and projects as reference points and review material for things I may have forgotten. Even in retirement, I like to keep sharp and continue working on technology-related projects.
I also created this independent blog as a way to experiment with GitHub and Hugo. It is hosted on GitHub, and I never established my own domain name for it.

I suppose that’s really the answer to the question.
The best courses I’ve taken aren’t necessarily the ones that gave me a certificate. They are the ones that taught me something I actually wanted to learn and that I still find useful years later.
Retirement doesn’t have to mean that you stop learning. Sometimes it’s nice to learn something simply because you’re interested in it.
What is the best online course you’ve ever taken, and do you still use what you learned? If you need assistance or a basic web site let me know and tell me what you think.
