MongooseJS Essentials - Learn MongoDB for Node.js (Udemy.com)

Terms and concepts are introduced in well structured manner, not overwhelming, not slow/boring either. CRUD application section is giving you oportunity to see mongoose in action on a simple example app - very useful. I am happy. If you are have no prior knowledge on mongoose (like me) this course is a very good first step, i think.

This is a short and simple yet very effective and to the point course.Using this course i was able to clear many doubts that i had about mongoose schema and models in very short period of time.Thanks Patrick..you are doing some really good stuff out there on Udemy.Kepp the good work up!!

When connecting the db and trying to show collections nothing is shown and I was trying to find out what the problem was, but even in the questions section this wasn't answered clearly and finally after a search I found out that the data must be saved into the db before trying to see it by running show collections in the mongo shell and this isn't mentioned. This was the only comment and for the rest I liked the course and thank!

The explanations are perfect, easy to understand and very useful. By the way, what was very frustrating was the fact that that the lecture stops at the api requests. The CRUD exemples are at the API level. Would be amazing if we could build a page with a form where we could fill with the data, record into the Mongo and then have a success or error page. Even so, what was touched was perfect!

good intro course overall with real word applications. loved the fact that you showed the use of the online documentation to navigate the libraries. There are a number of errors throughout the lecture - i think troubleshooting these are a very valuable lesson but would be nice to have a heads up on these up front at the beginning of each lecture so i don't feel like i am circling the drain/losing my mind. Thank you for putting this together!

Quick, straightforward, easy to understand what he's saying, he covers a lot of ground - high new knowledge to time ratio. Lacking a star because: a little disappointed that there were no examples on how to query the embedded sub-documents in the schema (there is a pop-up but...). Would also like to see a practical example of how to use schema.types.objectId and refs. Just a sidenote - when starting mongod and node app - you say ok, bring up the shell, but don't mention how. I paused and Googled it. On Mac you need to open new terminal window and type in mongo to get >

It seems that MongoDB has been updated since the course was created. `show collections` was empty after running the server. After the books were entered, it worked. I even tried the given code for both app.js and Model.books.js and it still didn't work. Since the DB was there, I continued and it did finally work.

Asside from the speed bump I encountered during the database creation, this has been a very informative tutorial. This is better than the other tutorials I've experienced (I've gone through alot...ending in frustration because I couldn't understand parts of the process). So far so good! The only change I would suggest is slowing down during the example creation. Maybe even suggest the user to pause in order to follow along more closely.

The course was everything i expected, a solid introduction to mongoose. Easy to follow along and instructor provides his code in a zip for each lecture. I liked the mini intro to postman chrome extension as i have downloaded it in the past but never really knew what to use it for. This is probably one of the best free courses i have taken.

This is the second free tutorial I have done from Patrick on Mongoose and MongoDB, and have really gained valuable knowledge. I love the pace of the course and how he uses code examples to explain concepts. Highly recommended course
