Excelente curso
By Mitra G on 12/25/2020
It was an amazing course. It matches Jogesh Muppala's course on Coursera regarding implementation of backend using Loopback-3. There are few things I'd like to recommend: 1. This course should be a part of a sort of specialization 2. A GUI part should be considered like Angular 3. GraphQL engine with Loopback-4 seems to be a must to learn 4. MongoDB should occupy much larger space in the course 5. OAuth and authentication providers should be considered. 6. As a separate course, perhaps, integration with payment systems such as STRIPE or PAYPAL is very desirable.

This course helped me a lot to start with Loopback4. It has some errors in the authentication chapter. The implementation does not work anymore because userProfile has moved to loopback/security. I had to figure out by myself. It can be certainly improved but it was worth the time spent.

GOOD TUTORIAL !
By Samet Erap on 5/31/2020
So far, it looks that loopback 4 is a bit more difficult than loopback 3. I would prefer the same excitement from the instructor as in loopback 3. It was more motivating. I assume this is because of comments in loopback 3 lectures. But the course teaches well at the moment. I think 'Loopback Relationship with Models' section should be revised. Middle Tables doesnt exist in the context and context should be more clean. I like the instructor's teaching but should be more motivating for this one.
By Marcin Pilarczyk on 2/26/2020
This course is pretty new but it is already outdated. The current loopback 4 framework and CLI cover most of the issues and problems that the instructor is having during this course. The lectures are unrehearsed and most of them need to be reshot. Authentication and Authorization section is no longer relevant with the Loopback documentation.
By Michael Krause on 12/5/2019
Walks you through setting up an entire REST-API including database connection, different user roles, permissions and auth, etc. Starts out explaining crucial typescript concepts such as decorators and dependence injection, etc. Course description is somewhat incorrect. It says that course connects to MySQL and mongoDB, but it's mostly MySQL.

Up to date videos with great examples. Good job. Thanks Good and easy follow examples.

loopback 3 out of window and version 4 documentation is vague and there is no info.There is no support from loopback. Thanks to author for trying his best to teach this complicated framework
By Jane on 8/25/2019
I was waiting for this Loopback 4 course. If you are a Node.Js/Typescript developer. You should definitely check out this course. The author has explained concepts in step by step approach. This is a complete step by step path to learn how to build amazing RESTFUL APIS with modern tools like Typescript, NodeJs, and MongoDB
