Udemy sale: Learn coding, drawing, photography, and more for as little as $12

Image used with permission by copyright holder

From free online courses to internet colleges, the web has made it easier than ever for hobbyists and professionals alike to master new skills. Udemy, with over 100,000 courses, is one of the premier places for this, boasting has the largest selection of online lessons in the world. You can study anything from coding and web development to photography and design, and for the rest of March, Udemy has full-length classes for as low as $12.

Coding ranks high among the most in-demand skills right now and is one of the most popular for online learners. It’s not hard to see why: The future will be computerized, and the world of programming – while daunting for the uninitiated – has fairly low barriers to entry. Not the least of these barriers is tuition fees: Whereas a traditional degree required for work in many fields will cost you thousands, you can learn a coding language, build up a portfolio, and find work with your new skills without ever having to set foot in college.

This makes programming an attractive field for people aiming to start a new career path, but who don’t want or can’t afford the time and expense of acquiring a new degree. Udemy has a myriad of online coding courses, so much so that you can quickly become crippled with choice paralysis when trying to find the path that’s right for you; to help you out, we’ve picked out a few of the best ones to get you started (plus some other non-coding lessons if you’re looking for something else), all of which are only $13 right now as part of Udemy’s March sale:

  • Complete Python Bootcamp – Go from Zero to Hero in Python 3: Python is a highly versatile programming language and one that’s in big demand. It’s also one of the easier languages for those who are completely new to coding, and this 24-hour course is the best place to begin. You’ll start off learning the basic fundamentals, eventually using your skills to build working apps and games.
  • Beginning C++ Programming – From Beginner to Beyond: C++ is a powerful general-purpose language that’s used for just about everything from app development to video games (the Unity game engine, for example, is written mostly in C++). If you want to add this powerful tool to your kit – and it behooves any aspiring programmer to be at least familiar with C++ – then this course, offering almost 40 hours of lessons, will start you off right.
  • The Web Developer Bootcamp: Web development is a job field that’s only going to keep growing, and this class (containing a whopping 47 hours’ worth of content spread across 397 lectures) will build up your toolbox. It teaches you the essentials of web development, such as HTML and JavaScript coding, while working you through the nitty gritty of things like in-browser applications and UI design.

The Udemy March sale isn’t limited to programming lessons, of course. You can learn how to use Wordpress to make your own website (without all the programming), sharpen up your drawing skills, master the use of social media marketing to boost your business, become a pro photographer, and much more, so feel free to check out the rest of the $13 Udemy course offerings to find other discounted classes that might be up your alley.

This Groupon deal can gets you a Costco membership for as little as $15
Costco Wholesale front of the store image

People that shop at Costco love to talk about being in Costco. Part of that is because it's pretty great, and part of that is because its at least mildly exclusive. There's really no point in showing up at a Costco without a membership. So, because we think Sam's Club and Costco just might be your ticket to more affordable tech during tariff uncertainties, we've been searching for way to get you into Costco cheaper.

What we found was a pair of Groupon deals that sell you the Gold Star or Executive memberships at their regular price but give you $50 Costco shop cards alongside additional bonuses. When you do the math, this makes the $65 per year Gold Star membership effectively just $15 and the $130 per year Executive membership just $80. Tap below to see the offers yourself and keep reading for the full breakdown. Alternatively, check out this competing Sam's Club deal to get in Walmart's version of Costco for just $20.

Best Buy is having an Apple Sale — this iPad mini is the best deal
Watching Netflix on Apple iPad mini with A17 Pro.

There's a big Apple Shopping Event going on right now at Best Buy. As you may know, Apple is a big brand. They don't need deals to drive sales. So, while there are always great Apple deals going on, it always feels like there aren't too many of them at any given time. At least that's my experience with the category. This time around, there are a few deals that stick out. Examples include the Apple Watch SE 2 at $169 and this Apple iPad at just $299. But there's one huge winner, and that's the Apple iPad Mini with an A17 Pro chip and 128GB of storage marked down to just $399. That's a $100 discount off of the $499 regular price. It's all yours if you tap the button below. As always, keep reading for our take.

A 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni Series with a Fire TV soundbar.

Getting a TV can actually be a stressor if you're not the type that likes to tinker with things. Since the vast majority of TVs today don't produce great sound, you'll have to go through the hassle of choosing a soundbar. But that's not all! You also have to connect your soundbar to your TV, which isn't always trivial.

That's why we like this deal that saves you $200 on a QLED TV and gives you a matching soundbar that you know will work with it and be easy to assemble. Normally the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni and Fire TV Soundbar bundle would cost $600, but right now you can get it for an impressively affordable $400. Tap the button below to see the deal. Then, keep reading below to get our take on this bundle's components.
