React Node MERN Stack from Scratch building Social Network (Udemy.com)

Almost 90% of the course content, including the version of Next.js, is outdated. If the author promises that the course is updated for 2024, he should have used the new app routes in Next.js. And the backend server is also outdated. I had to install older versions of many packages just to follow along with this course. I would request the author to completely discard this course and re-record it for 2025 with current coding practices and current versions of next.js. I wanted to give it a 2-star rating but I am giving it a 3 because the instructor is good and he teaches very well. He is just being lazy by not updating it properly.

The author has very good knowledge of the subject and the most important part is that I am able to understand from this course. Thank you. It would be much helpful if you can provide sidenotes on using the latest changes in bootstrap as the many of the bootstrap features mentioned here are old and obsolete and I have to struggle to upgrade to bootstrap 5.

I can see the light at the end of a tunnel. being the old man i am old habits are hard to change... (Previous programmer many years for career. Currently retired I am loving the good instructors like Ryan! The consistent pattern makes it very easy to understand the workflow for web responses and objects and responses. The checklist for deploy will help me as well Ryan??? Thanks

I really enjoyed going through the whole process and learned a lot of new things in the process. It covers a lot of ground, including the basics of setting up and testing an api, setting up a front end to work with it, authentication and authorization as well as working with MongoDB/mongoose as the db solution.

The audio could be better. It is difficult to hear the speaker at times. However, the content is from a real word dev and has some good professional practices. The video editing is not very professional and Ryan (course presenter) tends to make a lot of typos on his code. He often spells const as conts which is slightly annoying because most of his videos are made at night and he tends to get really tired hense teh typoes ;-0

I learnt a lot on this course! It was like you were sitting with a personal mentor who was explaining everything at a level that was easy to understand. Ryan explained both the fundamentals of Javascript as well as concrete examples of getting the webapp working in Node.js and React.js. He explained why he was doing each step, not just showing the step. I can definitely recommend this course to others who have a basic knowledge of development.

Great course for learning MERN stack, MVC and deployment. The instructor, Ryan, explains things thoroughly and answered the one question I had quickly. This is the second class of his I have taken and have purchased four others. I'm looking forward to learning more from Ryan.

great course ..perfect pace and concepts delivery This may not be a starting point for a beginner ..underlying basic concepts needs to be learnt prior to this for better clarity .. but a must do course after clearing the basic concepts about node, react and mango db. I had started the course and found i was missing few concepts .. then followed the React basic free course by the same instructor before resuming back. This course will make you completely capable .

I went into this course with Full Stack experience using React and Node - however I haven't used Mongo and instead used SQLite - with that said, seeing the process that Ryan takes in building his server is actually very exciting since he goes into a good amount of detail - because let's be honest, if you want more detail - read the docs. So far in the course, Ryan is doing an awesome job with going through the steps on building the app and explaining the process with detail. would give it five stars if he used axios and hooks but unfortunately this course seems a bit outdated.

In his course Ryan uses the word beautiful a lot. And that's exactly what this course is: BEAUTIFUL. I really liked the way everything was explained, very crisp and clear, good pace. The project is awesome and covers a lot of react and node must-know features. And it's responsive. No, it didn't cover Redux or Hooks, but I didn't miss it as there was plenty to enjoy. This course has given me the tools to continue working on real-life react-node projects. Well done Ryan, thanks a lot! I really appreciate your quick and good responses on the two minor doubts I had. Cheers!

Great Course without redux makes simpler for a begginer

This guy is GREAT!!!
