Great Course! Thank you!

By Joshua Koh

very good and fast paced. Its useful cos i cant stand too slow videos. Anytime i need to type the code i just freeze the video. Instructor was clear in his explanations and I understand everything he said.

Great work!

By Robert Valk

Very basic. Looking for a more professional delivery style.

Very good information so far to learn node js. Easy presentation style helps to grasp concepts quickly,

By Esa Kujansuu

The topics are explained professionally, but the instructor is running through his code writing like a maniac. That is what we coders do, but pedagogically it is a poor practise.

Going through these videos is a frustrating process of stopping and rewinding while trying to follow the writing of the code:

Code appears sometimes magically fast (must be copied from somewhere). At the end of instructor's writing you have milliseconds to catch the full code or command used before the view turns into something else. Then trying to rewind to the specific view with the full code or command is very hard or impossible. Sometimes the change of view takes place even before all the code was visible in the video. That is probably due to bad editing.
