Helps me learn node js fast but also develop the basic concepts needed

By Anonymized User on 7/12/2025

In a very short time, learn a lot of the stuff useful for someone with experience in development and JavaScript

By Anjana Ajayghosh on 5/9/2025

This course is great for getting a basic understanding of Node.js. The explanations are clear and easy to follow. It would’ve been even better if it covered a few more topics, considering how well the content was presented.

By Stewart Cambridge on 2/23/2025

I figured it would be basic, but this is basic! But even then, there were a few new things to learn simply because it was so basic. I do like the speed the instructor goes at. I rather pause the video to catch up, than skip forward because I'm bored, and then miss stuff. I wonder if the course could have covered the difference between "require" and "import".

By Anonymized User on 12/20/2024

Nice and short but with a great overview of the important concepts

By Amit Mandaviya on 12/13/2024

Nice but not deep understand. It just like introductions of modules.

By Salim Ali Khan on 11/15/2022

One of best instructor i have ever seen. Thank You so much for this amazing course

By CHOUNI Youssef on 4/29/2020

thanks for sharing information, the course is very useful, it allows me to know the processing of files and also the processor with Node js so how I can create my own server

By Dennis Mayr on 4/28/2020

I had mistakenly given it a 3.5 star rating, but meant to give a 4.5 (sorry about that, Laurence!) The course has a hands-on approach that covers basic required theory, so knowing JS in advance is preferable. It covers from working with variables and arrays, to starting a HTTP service and reading/writing files, plus working with node modules, all in a very compact yet easy to understand lecture. If you're delving into Node.js and know a bit of Javascript, this is the course to get you started into building working, practical Node.js code.
