I'm finding for some vuejs node package to work with Google Map, however, none of them have enough required functions for me. So I decided to build my own package, and this course is a good starter.

By Graham Dunsby on 2/12/2023

Its far too rushed. Its more like a Youtube video where you follow along stop-start just copying the code. I don't think there is enough explanation of Vue.js

By Anonymized User on 11/29/2022

Lot of aspects of this course could be better including : 1. Mobile compatibility. 2. Not repeating same steps for google api and vue boot strapping different sections. 3. Warning regarding safe usage of API keys as some places it batantly point to corsanywhere. There are better courses on youtube which is way polished and professional. A paid course in youtube certainly needs to be same if not above that.

Instructor is enthusiastic and having deep knowledge about what he is teaching. I recommend this course everyone who wants to know how to integrate Google Maps to their own solutions.

By Neil Cartwright on 10/14/2020

Very clear, helpful. Not too fast or slow. Beautifully explained. You can follow lots of the course without actually looking at the screen, but just by listening. Great for learning both VueJs concepts and different google maps APIs. Enjoyable and worthwile course.

Very clear and concise course that provides you with enough information on google maps api being used with Vue to get you up and running. I highly recommend this course. I'd like to see maybe a section on how to populate the map with addresses stored in a database Thank you
