Build a Social Network from Scratch: JavaScript PHP + MySQL (Udemy.com)

great online course but not for beginner students and you need to pause video and learn by yourself what code reece is writing because some time you will get confused but if you spend time on coding you will understand, what code reece is writing. For reece - you are doing great job but i request you to please explain little bit more when you are writing code and explain little bit more about function. Thank you for making this great course and you are doing great job Reece.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life-Changing Course – Helped Me Build My Own Social Media & News Website! This course was an absolute game-changer for me! I started with little experience, but the structured lessons and hands-on projects helped me gain the confidence to code real-world applications. Thanks to this course, I built Chatviola.com, a social media platform, and DailyOrbiter.com, a news website focused on trending topics. I'm now actively looking for job opportunities as a full-stack developer, so if anyone has leads, feel free to reach out. allebexxa@gmail.com

Not five stars because of some false advertising and lack of promised responsiveness with questions. He also does not fully explain many things, or says that he will cover it later to only gloss over it slightly, so he is kind of spacey. He advertises the course to be for beginners, although it clearly is not. You need to have the basics of php, html/css, and javascript/general object oriented programing to have any idea of what is going on. On the plus side if you just have the basics of those covered, he will walk through and explain how to piece a social media website. It was not a waste of time for me, and therefore worth 3.5 stars. That being said, while I did follow along and write everything out, as long as you keep up with what he is saying, that is really good enough.

This is an incredible course! Reece is a really good instructor. He, and others who also answer questions, are very helpful with any questions asked and are good about getting back to you really quickly. It's just great being able to re-watch any parts when you need, but then if you are still stuck with something you know you can ask a question and get help getting back on track. I highly recommend this course to anyone considering it!

I really like the pace of this program, where the courses are divided into small chunks. It makes it easier to ensure that the code is written correctly. And there are alot of help to get from the course creator and community in the questions section. Overall a very good programming course, where the codes and functions are written in an orderly fashion, so its easier to understand the nuts&bolts and building blocks of the webpage. And I believe that the creator of this course also follows the best practice principals and also correct some of these practices along the course. I personally recommend that you at least spend two hours per day on this course in order to learn something from it and keep the flow going. If there are few consecutive days breaks along the way it might be a challenge to keep up with the course.

I think Reece did a good job in teaching this course. Things are explained quite well, and he is very friendly and responsive when you ask questions. Occasionally, there are some bugs in the code, and the steps and methods the instructor used in debugging is informative as well. I didn't give 5 stars because of some issues. Sometimes when an error occurs, it was not mentioned until the next lesson. So be sure to check the next lesson as well when there's an error. Also, on some rare occasion, the instructor had to go off-screen to fix a persistent error, and then return on the next lesson explaining what went wrong with the previous lesson's code. When this happened, sometimes the instructor also fixed some minor typo in the code. The problem is, this minor fix is not shown in the video, and sometimes the code won't run because of it.

I was holding off the review when I got further into the course since I tried some courses on Udemy that quite sucked and got boring fast, but man!!! This man can explain what he's doing so well, he explains what he's doing, what everything does, the function of the code he's writing. What I love is that the videos are short and straight to the point with full explanation. UPDATE: I just finished the course and yet my thoughts on the course hasn't changed, amazing instructor. He will reply to your question or concern within hours.

Over all I am satisfied. This app is usefull, the support from teachers to my Question is quite fast. But there is plenty of room for improvement. Some functions (about 5 cases) worked on lecturer's localhost server, but failed on my live server on public web. I am missing more often zip files with the code. There are sections with 15 or more lessons with a zip file at the end of them. Too much often I must copy over my code with the code from the lecturer and my miskates sadly come up often. Also the lecturer could put more comments inside the code itself. And I think he uses diferent style of code at times, for isntance in if statements he sometimes not uses {}, that is inconsistent. The support is great, as Reece is here often to help students out. I think better would be to learn php as such before going for this course, since a person like me doesnt understand a lot, what is happening with the code.

It is the best course of it's kind. It really covers everything you need to know to complete a social network with everything you want: friends, newsfeed, profile images, live messages. I also learned a lot about PHP/MySQL from this course. I wasn't very good at MySQL before this course, but now I feel confident to use what I learned here to create other sites or improve other sites. Creating this social network and completing this course really helps you. Thank you, Reece ! He is a great teacher ! I will surely choose your other courses or future courses .! :))

I've done quite a few courses of similar natures on Udemy, and I have to say that this course is the best I've ever come across. Reece has produced a fantastic course here, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in any of the technologies or techniques listed in the course summary. I was also amazed by Reece's dedication to sticking around and answering questions in a speedy time. My questions have been answered really quickly and the majority of the issues that users have run into have been addressed and answered in the Q&A section. This is an absolutely fantastic course!

Huuh.. this guys is very well explaining everything and i like that, and how he speaks is very understandable, so far so good :D

The teacher and assistant teach are more than willing to help solve problems with you
