Projects in ExpressJS - Learn ExpressJs building 10 projects (Udemy.com)

I have seen this instructor on youtube and it is great seeing his own course, which has all the projects I need to get started with backend web development!

Pros
Nice and short videos with a clear explanation of everything in the projects, what they look like and how they work before getting started. He makes it a point to show the differences from each language/framework/etc. Overall nice courses that put together full CRUD apps each with its own purpose, nice to learn how Socket.io works. Mostly I appreciate his approach and seeing how he goes about building an app starting with this first, then the next thing, etc. until without much effort especially on the frontend you have a simple nice looking app. Depending on what you want to build there are definitely enough projects to build on and improve with added features and functionality.
Cons
Because the course is a little outdated I skipped a few of the projects -- one using MEANjs and AngularJS, Kraken because the Kraken doc npm install installed a lot of deprecated packages and I wasn't enthusiastic enough to use Kraken to fix all the packages, the instagram app is not as simple to set it up as it was when the course was created (I'm sure it's easy enough, but you need a facebook developer account and facebook was not letting me create one (and I could care less about having a facebook dev account). That was all fine by me, I wanted to move onto other stuff anyway, but I did spend time reading through more documentation around packages or frameworks I personally never plan to use or apply for a position using e.g. pug/jade, Kraken, couchDB. Although it's still nice to know more about them.
One outdated piece is express-validator, which now you require only the middleware methods you need, implementation of the check is different but easy enough to implement those changes. In order for error messages to appear requires setting errors to an array, and if validation check is if(!errors.isEmpty()) not if(errors) otherwise your code will execute the first if and close the request. Also in the Angular section with their new HttpHeaders you don't need to .map(res => res(json)) anymore simply call the method on the url e.g. return this.http.post(`${this.apiUrl}`, client);

My favorite instructor. I have watched so many projects and videos of him. He teaches very well. I highly recommend to everyone.

Clear explanation

It's actually great.

Great course!! I was able to run all the projects except the Job Board one. The instructor uses npm but I used yarn and it was perfectly fine.
I used MacOs Mojave to run and develop all the projects.

Great course. Easy to follow and it helps to strengthen my node and express skillset. I also learnt different NoSQL DBs and frontend template engines. If you have basic knowledge of node and express, it will definitely help you to understanding the projects better.

The course includes some interesting stuff and many usefull code but information is scattered into many places and explanation is not very deep or engaging. For example the author uses many templating engines wchich is possibly good for some students but this is at a cost of losing the ocasion of practicing any of them really well

Stuff is a bit outdated - older than a year and more

Good , but need some update because things change now

Ist was man erwartet und ein bisschen mehr.

Good introduction
