Per-criterion
The Complete 2024 Web Development Bootcamp
Broad full-stack scope (HTML, CSS, JS, React, Node, Express, MongoDB, EJS, basic deployment) — wider than Colt Steele because React is in the main course. A recurring 2025 critique flags outdated sections that tripped up a zero-experience beginner.
Repeatedly described as beginner-friendly — "gets a basic understanding of dev in your head". The shared brand with her 100 Days of Python and iOS bootcamps anchors her as one of the most-recommended Udemy instructors for absolute beginners.
Listed near $200 but routinely buyable for $10-$15 on Udemy sales — the same pattern the corpus reports for every popular Udemy course. Every recommender we tracked explicitly names the sale price; no one pays sticker.
Many small build-along projects (Dicee, Drum Kit, Simon, Tindog, Newsletter Signup, Blog) plus a React capstone. Strong for keeping beginners motivated, weaker on a single non-trivial portfolio piece compared to Colt Steele's YelpCamp.
Includes a React section in the main course (the headline difference vs Colt Steele) and a separate MERN course as a follow-on path that one 2024 HN job-seeker credits with landing them at a TypeScript/ Next.js shop. Modern tooling, TypeScript and testing are still gaps.
