1. Code, links, resources demonstrated are NOT made available for download.

2. The pace of the material/lecture covered is too fast, the publisher should expand more and dive more in detail about the code being discussed.

3. Seems like course has been abandoned, there hasn't been any updates at all.

There are better NodeJS applications courses on udemy. I can not recommend this course. 'All about Node.js | From the Ground Up and More', wait for the promos.
