Electron & React JS - A Practical Guide for Chat App (Udemy.com)

22.03.2024 (async() => { console.log(`a year ago I wanted to buy this course but because of the comments I didn’t buy it. Now I trusted my Java script to experience and bought the course despite the comments that said that the course was old and nothing worked. I've been programming for 7 years now. make all npm packages like the teacher and everything will work fine for you. Let’s not forget that it was in these old packages that such applications as VSCODE, Discord and GitHub were created. I’ll say that I know very little English, despite this, this course is better than all the ones I came to just for the sake of a hobby. Don't believe bad comments. both the teacher and the lessons are very good. I wish everyone good luck. and thank you to the teacher from the bottom of my heart.`) })();

Not entirely bad but definitely outdated. So outdated for react-router-dom, and even the setup for firebase. I literally had to use chatGPT in order to continue with the course. If the instructor re-records all these outdated sections I will change my review. If you're a beginner this is definitely not a good place to start.

This was an outstanding class. I didn't know anything about Electron prior to starting the class and now I am able to create the program that I need to write. Filip is an outstanding teacher. He is the most responsive teacher I have experienced on Udemy. I would highly recommend taking this course. Thanks Filip!

The course was great! I really learned a lot. However, take note that this course is fairly outdated, so I had to do a lot more research to update everything to the current version. It's not Filip's fault, and it was interesting to do some research myself. I would love for Filip to cover more Electron-specific features like Global Shortcuts, etc. But overall, amazing course, Thank You So Much!

Filip is great, This is one of the few courses on Electron that will correctly walk you through how to interface with Electron correctly. I really wanted to give this course 5 stars and I will change this review if. 1. Material is updated and brought into 2022 era. I must admit that even with some of the things being outdated Filip answered and helped me with every problem I ran into. Thanks so much Filip, if you update the course please send me a message and I will move this to 5 stars!!!

I'm enjoying the course, it's great material and I am really getting a good idea about Electron. The only negative point for me is that I believe the teacher could be a little more straightforward when explaining things, what would make the classes shorter and easier to keep focused on them. I'm not saying that he should cut parts out of the course, but from my perspective there are somethings that are not so relevant at this point, and other things that do not need to be repeated. But that's what I think, maybe for others the way it is is the way it should be.

in general good - some things that could be improved: -some parts were very repetitive -it was not explained what the benefit of redux vs a straightforward state implementation was. i am puzzled if redux makes sense for a small app or not. -i am missing how to communicate from main.js to render.js -no information on permissions in firebase - how to make sure user cannot modify data owned by another user? does this work out of the box or not? -how can i package images, fonts, etc with webpack? what is the best strategy to package assets? (webpack, build script, etc) -node child processes

I appreciated how responsive Filip was when I ran into issues. He seemed to be very knowledgable about the frameworks. Something I appreciated about the course is the fact that he keeps the occasional little mistake in the video and we get to see how he goes about debugging. This course has a lot of content. While I was hoping to get more information on the inner workings of React + Electron, I have found that combining this course with a course on Electron and a separate course on React was REALLY helpful. If you want a reasonably solid jumping off point for messing around with a react app in an electron framework, I think this is a nice starting point.

This is the complete package to learn Electron.js. It has all the awesome goodies that a developer wants. Integration with React, Redux, Firebase, etc. Many thanks to Filip for making this course. Hope to see more content and courses from you in the future. Cheers!

Amazing course, really easy to follow along and you can even skip to the GitHub branch for each video if you feel comfortable with the topic at hand and want to fast forward. Great app, learned a lot on the Firebase real-time capabilities. Thanks, Filip for this great course.
