Node.js - The Complete RESTful API Masterclass [2026] (Udemy.com)

I had a few problems with the audio volume in some lectures. The instructor seems well-prepared, but I felt that he did not properly address the problems REST tries to solve. Indeed, there were almost no mentions of the REST principles at all, despite the name of the course. In general, I find hands-on courses like this much more productive, but you cannot always ignore theory. Mastering a technology is much more than plugging in some code and seeing it run. It is about understanding the main building blocks of an application and how to put them together properly. I recommend this course for complete web beginners.

I'm about 2/3 though the course so far. It's an excellent intermediate course. It's a great next step if you have been through a solid beginner Javascript course and have some familiarity with building a simple/basic API with node/express. It's also great if a course to practice and solidify your knowledge on building an API with Node, Express & MongoDB. Ghulham walks though building a real-world API and demonstrates many best practices that are glossed over or just not even covered in other courses. I've seen some folks complain about his accent in their course review. If that's the case I recommend simply turn on captioning, you'll adjust to the accent after a few sections .

Basically it was good, and explained most of the changes. The topic and the example API was excellent, this is a good combination for starting from scrathc. I'll get more course from him later :) A few things which could be went better: - Slow down in speech, there was a few times when cannot hear and also the captions cannot identify what you have said. - Don't rush if you are creating such a videos, because it's very annoying, also you're made a lot of typo and other kind of mistakes, because you were in a rush.

This course taught me quite a bit and was a really great course to understand Node.js, the structures and functionality of APIs, as well as introduced me to some libraries I have never used before. If you're wanting to learn about APIs, this is a good course for you!

Initially I gave this course 4.5 stars because I was very pleased with the results; however it was my first ever udemy course. Then I took a few other courses, and came to the conclusion that this is a 5 star course easy. No fluff, get's to the point with a great project using great conventions/standards.

Updated review: 70% finished and the course has gotten a lot better! The only issue is the mic is very low and difficult to hear the teacher, and some concepts maybe can be explained in more details. But the content is very good and I hope the teacher will make a react native cli MERN stack (not expo) course some day.

Coming from building API's in Rails with a PostgreSQL database I was having a hard time understanding the conventions and calls for Express/MongoDB. This course has really helped me find the connections and provided a good foundation to continue building on my own. The one thing I would love would be a little more explanation on how the code connects within the express app. There are times when I'm not quite sure why we have to add something in or why it works in a certain order but not in another and having more clarity on that would make the course even stronger!

Ghulam was able to show me a simple yet powerful rest API architecture that is ready for production level projects. I would highly recommend having intermediate to advanced javascript knowledge and also some basics with NodeJS before tackling this project. Even though Ghulam works on the Windows environment and I am on OSX I had no problem configuring everything, considering I knew how to use my terminal. Overall great course!

It really served the purpose, wrt the content and the flow. Thank you Ghulam! it really served the purpose. Continue the good work making videos and please do come up with more node.js tutorials like this ones. A suggestion if a tutorial could be made with handling image upload to server and fetching url via aws integration or something, handling payments and users probably like a shopping cart project .

Mis más sinceros respetos al profesor por este excelente curso. El profesor es un autentico profesional y controla al detalle NodeJs, enseñado técnicas perfectamente aplicables al mundo labroal. Al finalizar este curso te sientes capaz de crear cualquier tipo de API Rest en producción. Gracias por compartir estos conocimientos
