We compared 25 Open Source courses currently listed on Udemy, Coursera and edX, priced from $9.99 to $449.00. 24 of them teach the subject directly and 1 are built around a certification exam. 6 come from a named university or institution, including Duke University, University of California, Irvine and IBM. They are ordered by our CourseAsk score, which is built from how thoroughly each course describes what it teaches, whether it comes from a named institution, and how it compares on price — not from star ratings, which our course data does not include.

How these 25 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Udemy, Coursera, edX, matched to "open source" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $9.99 to $449.00, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.
