Whether you’re counting down the days 'til you can bust out your sweaters or in full-blown, never-gonna-leave-the-beach denial, summer is coming to an end. And there's no better way to embrace the season than with some back-to-school scholarly pursuits — whether or not you’re actually a student.

Good news: The online learning pros at Udemy are offering a veritable bounty of courses this week, all at a hefty discount.

Looking channel your inner developer? The web developer bootcamp has 47 hours of video classes to give you all the skills you need to build your own apps. Or, if you want to go a little more underground, the best-selling cyber security course will teach you how to defeat hackers and stay safe online.

Or, maybe self-improvement is a little more your vibe—in which case you can learn to speed read or the secret to nailing that tricky job interview, just to name a few. Udemy has courses for just about everything under the sun, all entirely online, and best of all, they’re about all ten dollars — a huge discount off regular course prices of about $200 a pop. Check out the full roster and get started here.
