JavaScript Beginner Bootcamp (2025) (Udemy.com)

The BEST TEACHER on Udemy by far. I'm so lucky to have discovered this course. Attention to detail is the most distinguishing characteristic of Rob Merrill "the Instructor". The biggest SURPRISE of this course is its last section "React JS", which btw is given as a bonus, one the most difficult course has been turned into the easiest topic ever.........VERY SPECIAL APPRECIATION FOR YOU: Rob. Looking forward to your Advanced JavaScript and React JS courses. Thanks again.

I have one criticism: Please list all of your requirements on the start page. Since I am going through this course on my employer's machine, it would have been appreciated to put the Svelte project requirements on the start page, not just on "Lecture 199. Section Requirements". My employer has to go through a logistical process to allow me to download any software. Pros: Rob knows this is a beginner's course and takes the time to teach fundamentals. For newbies like myself, it might help going through lessons more than once or taking notes on this course. And Rob strongly encourages that kind of repetition, otherwise it just doesn't stick. It was a little disorienting to switch instructors half-way through the course. But John definitely knows his stuff and is a very effective teacher. He has just the right pace at walking through the projects.

I'm speechless. This course is AMAZING! I can not stop raving about Rob Merrill to the rest of my friends wanting to learn javascript. Rob is an outstanding instructor and I can only hope he continues to share more valuable course like this one. This course covers everything you need to know and more. All concepts are explained so well and I absolutely LOVE how there's a quiz in between modules to help you understand what you need to work on. There are also mini apps you will learn to build and they're pretty cool. 10/10 recommend! :)

Rob thank you so much for this course, I have as a goal to create certain applications with React Native. Coming from an embedded C/C++ background and knowing at little bit of html and JavaScript, I have managed to learn in a very solid way JavaScript and the great introduction to React through this course. I like the slow pace giving option to speed up for fast learning and still see clearly what the teacher is talking about. Also the illustrative examples used in this course are excellent tools to teach the concepts and help on retaining efficiently in one's memory. Rob's speech is clear. Wish you would have a React Native course !!! so that i can proceed on the next step towards my learning goal.

The course was very-very good until I arrived to the HTML and CSS part. In the begginning (when learning JS basics) the explanations were extremely detailed, I could easily follow up even with no coding experience at all. I enjoyed it because everything Rob taught, I could do by myself with very little practice. Then unfortunately I noticed there are 3 challenge chapters where HTML and CSS knowledge is strongly required and only AFTER these chapters were the HTML and CSS basics. Alright then I thought, I will start with the basic lectures and will continue with the challenges. But what I had learnt in the basic chapters of HTML and CSS were not enough to understand the challenges. :( I would be really happy if they were re-uploaded in the same structure Rob made the JS lectures. For now I stop this course because I am really a begginer and I cannot really understand anything from the chapter "matching game". Maybe spending a few more time studying and I would understand those lectures as well but for now, for me it does not make any sense copying the code I see.

The course itself explains well the basics of Javascript. The videos at the beginning are clear and well done. What has bother me mostly are two things: - Around lesson 100 there are repeated lessons. It is good for review, but they are exactly the same of the previous ones and it looks like they are just there for mistake - The applications which we have built contain material that has not been explained before. It is obviously impossible to focus on each detail. However, I find the way we have built the apps, a bit confusing Overall, Rob is an excellent teacher and he keeps posting new free content. It was worth the money, but there is space for improvement.

Great course for beginners. I started this course with no previous coding knowledge, but found myself picking up the basics very quickly with Rob's great presentation style. The whiteboard style lessons are great for showing the student what a particular section entails, with the lab sections very helpful to consolidate the knowledge from the whiteboard sections. I just wish there were more exercises, even ones on an external site but recommended by Rob, where I could really learn through repetition. There were also a couple of times where terminology changed suddenly and threw me a little bit (the sudden change from var to let was the biggest one) until I actually got to the section on let later in the course. So maybe a little course reorganisation needs to be done, expecially with the HTML and CSS section as they are after the Todo app section where they are needed. There are also some corrections required that Rob has noted but not yet actioned! Other than that a great course, Rob's instruction was clear and concise, and this course has really helped me get started in the world of programming.

it's starting out a little basic but i understand it's for brand new programmers. at the halfway point, i have learned functional programming which is an advanced topic that i'm really enjoying. I'm also understanding arrow functions a lot more than i ever have. Toward the end there is a very in-depth lesson on React which is very well done! I learned a lot! This was a great course! The only barely negative thing I can say is that there were some minor discrepancies in what was spoken and what was typed in examples but those were minimal and didn't confuse the points being made.

Rob Merrill has put a lot of thought and time into this comprehensive course. His style is enthusiastic and engaging and the lectures are thorough and detailed. Every line of coding is explained in detail leaving one in no doubt as to the purpose and the outcome. I had a little knowledge of HTML and CSS when I started but this course made me realize just how little that was. I now feel far more competent thanks to the careful step by step structured approach employed by Rob Merrill. Now for React which is a total mystery to me.

First of all, I would like to personally thanks the instructor Rob for creating this course. Javascript is one one the languages that tends to be confusing, frustrating and intimidating for a beginner. I have kept some JS courses here and there, but they make them so complex. This course gave me the confidence to engage in learning JS. He explains the basic concepts that makes them easy to understand and to follow in a very dynamic way. The labs are very good to apply the concepts into practice. This course is so great that other courses fail to mention something basic like that you could you use your browser's console to actually practice JS in real-time. As any other JS course, you need to watch the videos over and over again to understand the concepts and exercises. Now a few points to make the course better: a. The second part of this course as it gets more complex loses the creativity in explaining the material and there are not many exercises in the lab to actually understand more intermediate JS. Still it's a good start to continue more advanced JS on your own since the first part gives you the skills and confidence to look on your own. b. The are some units that are incomplete. I am aware the instructor is doing the best he can in completing some units, but for the students leave us wanting more. He is that good! I suggest to pull out some of the units, create another course, and release them when they're ready as new course. I look forward to subscribe and support the instructor in future projects he might release.

So far i love it. Clear and straight forward lessons.

I started learning JS from a different website and i couldn't understand a thing! I am learning from this lesson for a week now and i finally understand how JS works and everything! I really recommend this lesson, it has been an amazing experience so far! Great work!
