Learn and Understand NodeJS (V8, Express, MERN/PERN & more) (Udemy.com)

I am learning from all your JavaScript courses, In my long learning and practicing journey, This teacher is the best ever among hundreds of courses and teachers i ever watched. Understanding everything behind the scenes, deep diving, intelligent explanations and wonderful examples. This rating apply to all your courses. You are the best. Waiting for more of your deep diving into JS and more of new modern JavaScript topics.

It's a shame, because this course is pretty good for the sections that I've watched and the author goes into detail, but I find that I can't come back to it after a discussion with the author about a year or so ago about an error in this course. Contrary to one of the videos, JavaScript does not support 'pass by reference'. It supports reference types, but pass by reference means something else and JavaScript ALWAYS passes 'by value'. A value type stores the 'end' value (eg a number) and is a known and fixed size, whereas a reference type stores a reference (memory address) to a value on the heap. Both are copied (eg the number or the memory address) when passed into a method as an argument. Just be aware of that if you watch this course and perhaps don't let it bug you as much as it bugs me.

Tony's approach of teaching us digging into the source code really helped me truly deeply understand the concepts and spirits of NodeJS. Many details that other course instructors often ignored and skipped were well explained in this course. I searched the top NodeJS interview questions after this course, now I can immediately answer many of them in my own words. Tony is really the best teacher I have found so far.

I often find myself revisiting Anthony Alicea’s courses long after completing them. Why? Because I often walk away feeling like I learned something new after each lecture, even on topics that I thought I already understood. Each lecture is thoughtful and detailed, useful by itself in a vacuum, and continues to be relevant today in mid-2021 at the time of writing this review (and undoubtedly into the future). If I ever need to better understand a new or familiar concept, I will always look to see what Anthony has to say about it, first! Anthony Alicea’s NodeJS and JavaScript courses are far and away some of the best courses available on Udemy, and should be considered as must-haves for anyone that wants to learn or better understand these twotopics.

I enjoyed the course, as someone who is a beginner like me when it comes to NodeJS this course was a great starter for me. I like how the course didn't just tackle through coding NodeJS, but establishing some basic/fundamentals of JavaScript like the 'inheritance'. That kind of approach made me appreciate and understood well how NodeJS works under the hood. Honestly, I bought also a different course but with an advance approach and see if I could follow it, but some of it was a bit confusing to me. But know after taking this course I am now have a pretty good understanding and I am ready to take more advance course because of this. Thank you for making such a great course with good content.

Unlike the tutor's famous "weird parts" - this course is unnecessarily lengthy and too much opinion based for my parts. This course is excellently researched and it's depth probably is unrivaled, no doubt. Also I find the tutor and his calm voice very sympathetic. But lots of topics are explained in a repetitive manner, less important stuff is repeated over and over while more important questions are skipped too quickly. And although some developers may aim for maximum backwards compatibility that certainly isn't true for all of us - cause in IT what's new today is deprecated tomorrow. I'd rather see more ES6. Classes are much more than syntactic sugar, but a move in the right direction for JS to get from a "weird" language full of quirks to a grown-up programming language. Still, probably the best course you can find on the topics.

Enjoyed taking this course with Tony! It really helped me understand "what's under the hood." I first learned NodeJS using the Express framework in a different Udemy course, but didn't understand what was going on behind the scenes. This course really taught me about that. This course is more theoretical in nature, and is akin to reading a textbook to learn details. I would recommend this course to those who already have programmed NodeJS before, as it is good for getting a deeper level of understanding, but I can see it turning off some people who are beginners to programming.

Tony does a great job in not only explaining the code but delves into what is going on under the hood in some instances of looking at the source code of the V-8 engine. He also does a very thorough job in explaining the "why" during the coding exercises . You will not only learn Node.js but get a deep understanding of Node related topics. The first half of the course in more theoretical and lays a good foundation for the hand-on coding exercises that he walks through. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is interesting in learning Node. This should be your first course in Node.

I have 2 wishes. Hope at least one of them gets fulfilled. Either Tony should release more tutorials as I don't see him release any tutorials these days (at least not in Udemy) or I wish I find another instructor who explains as clearly as he does. I think I will sign up for his tutorial even if he teaches alphabets :). Simply the best instructor I even learnt from in my life.

I'm an instructor at a programming school teaching AngularJS. I went through a dozen different AngularJS tutorials across many different sites, and Anthony's Learn and Understand AngularJS is BY FAR the best one out there. I'm going to begin teaching node.js as well, which I knew nothing about, and after completing this course I feel like I have a pretty darn good grasp on the basics of Node. I'm looking forward to being able to answer any questions that come my way about node.js from my students. Seriously, this course does an excellent, excellent job of teaching this material.
