Udacity focuses on what really matters: practical, hands-on skills. Unlike many programs that drown you in theory, here you actually build real projects with tools like Python, SQL, and Git. This made learning engaging and directly useful for my career. Highly recommend it to anyone who prefers action over lectures!
