Course Description
Learn to build real world eLearning marketplace (Udemy clone) using Full stack/MERN stack JavaScript Next.js React Node MongoDB and Stripe from scratch to deployment.
If you have taken my previous courses, then you have already build some great projects, I know that :) You have already build E-commerce apps, SEO blogging platform, Social network and even a Marketplace...but you haven't build any thing like this.
This project will not only teach you the very best of everything but also enables you to make a good income out of it.. yes this time you are not just going to build yet another project, you are going to build an eLearning marketplace that generates money for you and for your users (Instructors).
This concept is extremely powerful and there is no limit to it. You can grow this project to one of the most successful project ever. Yes I am talking about building an online education marketplace, something like Udemy! Yes you heard me right, you will learn to build something like Udemy using Full stack JavaScript React.js Next.js Node.js MongoDB Stripe and AWS.
Another important part of this course is, It is build for production use. Yes when we say production, we need to make sure it is secure, fast, SEO and built with solid infrastructures right? Don't worry, I have covered all that in the best possible way!
You will build a secure and production ready authentication system using cookies. So no more worries about insecurities of storing tokens in local storage. It is extremely fast and SEO optimized because we are using Next.js, which is a React framework for building production apps.
It is built with solid infrastructures to ultimately scale in future. We are using AWS SES for emails and S3 for storage. So as you can see, this is absolutely amazing project to build, that can easily be one of the best startup project to change the world.
Whether you want to build an online education marketplace for a country or a region or the entire world. This is where it all starts.
And it is all done from scratch with nothing but an empty code editor and of course with a lot of passion to learn, build and grow together. In about 5000 lines of code, you will be able to build this masterpiece and deploy to the cloud for the real world.
So if this sounds amazing, join me in this course. Let's build this next big thing together and have a good time along the way!

I can highly recommend this course, it’s a great course and the instructor Ryan it’s very good at responding to questions and guiding you through the course. The only thing I can say is I would love to see an update to the course, because some of the frameworks used are outdated. And to fully finish the web application with all the features and functionalities.

Very well explained and thorough analysis of a high functional technical end result application. Especially like how modern best practices are taught like cookie management. The professor is great with answering questions too.

Very weird to create a course that teaches a udemy-like project but non-paying students can access all videos for free.

This Course is so Raw debugging demonstrate uncut Yup!. Before Enroll this, You'll read more requirement before, In Stripe open your country, But he not demonstrate stripe in the real one with out Test-Mode, That you will find it your self, more than one to tell is marketplace not actually like Udemy that has cart, other payment etc. in the ant-design If you like to using the latest version, you will to adaption with the new document It with your self, I wish he upload other method to deploying unless digital ocean.

Except for a few sections where some packages or modules have changed a bit now compared to what the instructor uses, overall the course is good. Its better to take this course with some basic JS and ReactJs knowledge to fully understand some parts.

This is a brilliant course . It has been delivered in Ryan typical style of code along , learn along, debug along. If you stay with this course to the end , not only will you learn building this great app but you will gain a great insight into how a real life programmer works . The deployment section of the course needs updating because of changes to github and digital ocean but if you want to be a real developer then the least you can do is research and figure that bit out for yourself. Great job Ryan!

I am French, I followed all the lessons and managed to follow the videos while coding at the same time. A few small concerns that allowed me to learn to correct myself. In the end, the project works perfectly. Thank you very much for sharing this project which allowed me to acquire new knowledge.

Kind and detailed explanation. There is much to learn. Well-prepared lectures and lecture sources. Helps improve skills. Of course, it is better to combine various live performances if you are going to do an actual service. For example, next-auth, react query, etc.
By Cleophas Mashiri on 9/8/2021
This is my best course on Udemy because of its coverage of app development from front-end to backend all using js. Reactjs takes some time to wrapper ones head arround, but because the course focuses on developing the app you learn by writing the code, and soon enough u will be able to dev complex interactions. Stripe integration was very interesting, learnt a lot. And the beauty of the expressive nature of js is that you can see the flow of logic, no hidden magic.
By Bitto K on 8/20/2021
Great course. I have completed all lessons and not found any difficulty in running this code. Thank u so much for creating this course. I was looking to make such project. I am going to make some changes and make it live. Looking for next course u upload. Thanks once again.
