React JS + Angular + Rails 5 Bootcamp (Udemy.com)

Hard to work with old dependencies and troubleshooting issues from using angular2 + ngbootstrap4 when current standards have changed and technically ngbootstrap currently requires angular4+. It improved my knowledge of the setup by troubleshooting the errors caused by version issues (however I still have issues starting up the server after shutdowns). The additional resources that were provided by the instructor were wonderful and it felt like I got more than I paid for ($12)

Mr. Hudgens is one of the best instructors I have seen around the internet. And believe me, I have taken classes from multiple sites and watched lots of youtube videos, on all sorts of topics. He has such a deep understanding of what each component of the programming language does, that you not only learn how to program real-world apps, you also learn the why's and how's of everything that is going on. Always a pleasure to learn from him. And as a bonus, he usually replies to whatever question, no matter how small, within 24 hours, sometimes within minutes. Depending on what time you submit the question. I can't wait to see what other courses he comes out with. Thanks

I came to this course as a rails developer, and wanted a course that showed me how a microservice or api-only rails application would communicate with Javascript Frontend applications, like those done in Angular. Main reason being that I'd only worked on applications that were purely done in rails in the past, with the frontend handled in ERB and HAML. This course gave me exactly what I wanted to know in an in-depth and engaging way. It was my first Udemy course and I think I struck gold with this one!

there are some little confusing differences in the video and the working code but jordan is always ready to help, so you are never alone, if you get lost! jordan has a very clear speech and good way of explaining, so that even for not native speakers its easy to understand an follow his instructions. i was a litte disappoited that one element of this course is typescript, because its an additional language someone has to know/learn. now i am excited what follows next. the mentioned ionic frameworks at the last lesson seems to be very interesting stuff.

This is the second course I take with Jordan and I have always been very pleased with his teaching style. He explains material well and delivers upon expectations. I am not giving a full 5 stars because this is mostly an introduction to the interaction between angular and rails. Upon completion you will understand how to make the general HTTP request methods such as GET and POST. It was helpful for me as I was a bit clueless on how to connect backends with frontends, but I was hoping to see a few more topics that can really differentiate the course from yet another tutorial online. A suggestion would be to integrate omniauth authentication. I do recommend this course as it is the best resource I have found to become closer to a true full-stack developer which consists on connecting backends with frontends.

This course really covers the basics on how to get a simple Rails API and call it from Angular2. It's a good base to get started. If you get stuck, there is usually enough info in the Q&A section to help you. Being a Rails developer, I wish the teacher would have spent more time explaining some of the code used in Angular. We end up typing some code without knowing exactly what it does, so how do we know whether we should use this in subsequent Angular2 projects is a mystery.

I just finished going through the course. It was a little bumpy at the beginning because of changes to Angular 4 and version dependencies but once I got it running I had no issues following along at all with the course. A word of advice to anyone having spacing issues with the card class in Bootstrap I suggest using md-3 inside you class call which solved the issue. Jordan did an outstanding job with the progression of the course is able to break down complex topics into easily digestible concepts.

Excellent course. Jordan is an excellent instructor, highly skilled and knowledgeable on the topic. Course is easy to follow, and understand. I would only recommend to a host to update the Angular examples to the latest version, and maybe add authorization (Pundit or CanCanCan), and authentication (jwt, has_secure_token, devise_auth_token, etc). I was also expecting to see some file uploading gems such as Paperclip, and even better Shrine in action. But overall, this is a highly recommended course, and covers at least 85% of the things you'll ever need as a full-stack developer, and microservices.

Great course! It did get me through the Front-end Back-end communication barrier, and I feel strongly that this course will serve me well on my career. Jordan! I think it would be amazing if you'd include a bit of caching with Redis, I know it deviates a bit from the bigger picture of your course, but you'll find that there are no courses showing a simple integration between Redis and Rails, and I feel like it could be yet another big bump to this course :) Thanks!

This course is more an overview on how to build Angular 2 applications and integrate them with Rails, don't expect much details about the implementations and Angular core concepts, the instructor talk about them but in a very superficial way. In my opinion, that's OK, if you are just looking for a quick overview on angular 2. You also must have a medium knowledge on Ruby on Rails, because the instructor talks almost nothing about it.
