A lot of deprecated stuff since this course is 8 years old. No practice. No engagement. Why do you have to show JQuery in JSON course? All information shown in videos can easilly be found with Google.

By Anton Som on 8/5/2025

Good course, but since it was made 8 years ago, many links to free APIs are obsolete. And it takes additional time to find alternatives. Therefore, I spent more time than I had planned to learn.

By Jon on 4/9/2019

This was super solid and what I expected. Your explanations were fairly easy to grasp ( maybe a smidge more about jQuery?) and the given examples trouble free, putting aside my own typos. It's my first time working with API's while still developing my javascript powers and this definitely helps me solve a problem for work. Maybe in the future you could add a section about how to deal with API's that require authorization?

By Daniel Doheny on 11/29/2018

I had no knowledge of using API's before this, so I wanted a short course to enable me to try different API's out. This course offered just that. I now feel i can try out other API's and play around with outputting to my web page. Very good course for anyone trying to get up and running with API's.

By David Parker on 10/18/2018

Watching the source code examples and with the provided source code examples, I was able to learn the JSON stuff quickly. The autogenerated captions are not very accurate thou.

By Tiago Valente on 4/23/2018

Great explanation however, this really focuses on accessing public APIs. Passing authentication is not something you will find here.

By Matt Slater on 6/14/2017

Another fantastic course from Laurence. Thanks you mate! I am building an application for work where I need to access JSON API's via REST. This course has helped me get and understanding of how I will access the API's, request and receive data, then traverse the response to find and access the information I want to display. Not only does the course provide everything outlined in the overview, it also gave me the tools I need to apply my learning to my particular problem. Here we go!

By Angel Gabriel Ramirez Alva RFC: RAAA7703 on 5/4/2017

Muy completo y al grano sin meter paja, te da las herramientas necesarias y el conocimiento para comenzar a trabajar con JSON inmediatamente terminando el curso sin tener que tomar otros más o buscar más referencias.

By Drew Conroy on 1/12/2017

Laurence does a great job of teaching you the little details that often gets over-looked. I am looking forward to going through his other tutorials. (He has several, you should check them out)

By JUAN GALLARDO on 12/21/2016

makes it so simple!!!!! so worth the money. and his voice is soothing, makes me feel at ease learning. i love that he shows a working example ASAP rather than drag things out with verbose bullshit about theory
