Most underrated course. Very good starting point for someone new to javascript or who needs to know just basics for automation. Instructor explains with much clarity and without repeating multiple times. Exercises are good , could have enjoyed few more of those.

A very good course for QEs to learn about JavaScript basics. It explains basic concepts clearly and in a beginner-friendly way. The lessons are easy to follow, and the examples help in understanding how JavaScript works in real scenarios. A good starting point for anyone new to JavaScript.

Course is really good. Would need more examples specially around file read-write for CSV, Excel, txt along-with exception handling. All in all, I learned a lot from this course.

Le cours est bien structuré et claire avec demo. Merci Le seule point négatif est que le sous titre anglais présente beaucoup de fautes. Le formateur a un accent et moi je n'ai pas un niveau élevé d'anglais, il n'est pas facile à suivre le cours.

This course is incredibly effective for beginners! Even if you start with zero knowledge of JavaScript, you’ll be able to understand the concepts clearly and gain confidence. The instructor explains everything step by step, covering even the smallest details. I’m really enjoying learning through this course and can now write programs on my own. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Explanation is great. Practical execution is something which is exceptional, I am currently working on ts based framework with playwright, some very real time issues which I faced were explained here how to handle objects. How to handle data is a bigger challenge in api testing. Instructor efforts are really good. I even went head to see other courses. If possible please add something related to logger libraries like winston and using transport options to route data to APM tools.

As a tester learning JavaScript for the first time, I found the first 12 sections, including arrow functions, to be very clear and well-structured. However, when it came to callbacks and promises, I struggled to grasp the concepts fully and had to consult additional resources for better clarity. The course is excellent overall, but more detailed videos on those two topics would be beneficial.

Hey, one of the best trainer and a good JS course for beginners. Kindly keep updating this JS course with latest updates and changes. Let us know if there is any course on TypeScript. Sir, if possible, kindly share your LinkedIn details we will be happy to connect with you. Thank you.

Thanks for the great course! I found it helpful and well-organized. As for suggestions, it would be nice to have more practical exercises to enhance hands-on learning.
By Dev Mymoria on 12/13/2022
I liked the structure. The pace was too slow for me. I would suggest for the author to record the video without sound and then record the sound while watching it and then overlay the sound. This way he can focus on what he types first then he can focus on what he wants to say. For the viewer, the video will have a better pace. The viewer doesn't need to hear all the "and now I'm just gonna..", "and then if I..." - these are sounds made to give the author time to type. In any case, thanks for the content!
