NodeJS in Action (Udemy.com)

The course topics are really good, but the instructor is missing some of the explanations, he is copy/pasting a lot of code and some of the videos are not focused on the areas that he is writing the code. Overall is still the only one that provides some insides on Grunt, Yoeman and Elasticsearch so it's still worth the money if you get it on offer.

Very good and nice instructor

Great course for willing to learn real life usage of NodeJS and related technologies.

It was very difficult to follow and didn't have enough explanation of what we were coding.

Good information, but lots of errors.

Too much has been tried to cover in little time thereby not doing justice to even a single topic.

Code snippets should be shared after every exercise. His GIT code does not even work

I was very excited when I was watching what i was about to learn. All things went well until Socket.io, Redis, as well as the Iron MQ part. The author gives a simple description of IronMQ services and that's about it. Message queueing is important and it would benefit all students in the course to see exactly how it can be used in a practical example, on the application being developed.

Regarding the Redis part, there is no code to demonstrate saving sessions and comparing them, just a trivial example of inserting key and value pairs. Not very helpful and unpractical.

Regarding IronMQ and queueing, again, i did not understand how to use it properly.

Another thing that is missing is the environment variables that are not being used by webstorm running on a mac. The author is using a Windows based system - tried to configure myself, to no avail - asked the question, no answer yet...

To wrap things up, i would not suggest this course for practical stuff - the blog project is trivial and can be found in multiple places on the internet. I would recommend it for the new technologies presented, BUT, you'll have to do a lot of digging on your own.

This course helped me to getting more familiar nodejs with frameworks. It's easy to understand but after this Course it's powerful! Buy worth it. !!

I think that it would be better to go in depth in nodeJS features such as clustering, files processing, external libraries like asyncJS. But in general it is an excellent course to learn NodeJS and its possibilities.

The course covers a lot of technologies. Of course, in many of them is made only a brief introduction but you can get a good grasp on how to explore the topic in more detail on your own. I recommend the course.

Isn't a depth nodejs course but you can learn a lot of basic things to start to work.

The code examples help to learn and understand all he explain and make it easy follow the video
