React and Typescript: Build a Portfolio Project (Udemy.com)

Amazing course. It's a 4.5 stars instead of a 5 because it is not fully up to date (ie. not using redux toolkit). But working through the code and converting some of the code to React Vite and Redux Toolkit was such a rich learning experience, that I can recommend anyone to do the same. Some highlights for me were learning about Lerna, in browser typescript compiling, integrating web-based rich text and code editors and creating a cli with node. Rarely are there so many take aways from one single course. Highly recommended!

I came to this course for a quick dive into adding typescript to my existing knowledge of React. The 5 hour appendix would probably have been enough for what I actually needed / expected from the course. The rest of the course felt like it had a bit of an identity crisis, some things were skipped over like the viewer was expected to know already, and then other times we'd spend ages going on about quite trivial concepts like we're new to it all... Overall though I am glad I stuck it out, it got a little tiresome, but I learnt about immer and lerna which are useful things to know.

One of the best courses I've taken on Udemy. Stephen gives your this an architectural approach to building an enterprise-like product. Through this course, I've learned to approach problem-solving from a different perspective and always consider best practices with foreseeable problems with easy solutions. I would recommend this course 100% to beginner TS developers and intermediates as well. It's worth the money and time!

Really great course, learned a ton about React, Typescript, some cool packages like esbuild, and a decent amount about managing packages and builds. Not your standard React/TS course since it approaches this almost like we are building a desktop application. I gave 4.5 instead of 5 only because there is not a lot of responses to questions so if you are stuck, you'll often times have to figure it out yourself. Stephen is a great teacher though and explains things very well. Recommend this course!

I was pleasantly surprised by how broad the course turned out to be. The portfolio app covers so much - from bundling the code to publishing on npm in separate packages/libraries - and that is rarely presented on an everyday course [of writing some components with state]. I found it highly useful to give context and sense about front end development in general. I highly recommend the course for junior developers especially, since it ties a lot of things together and helps to get a bigger picture. Lovely!

Stephen is simply the best there is and he has outdone himself with this course. He somehow managed to come up with a complex application that 1) uses many lesser known apis and techniques (srcDocs? IndexDB?) 2) shows the decision making processes that necessitate these measures and 3) does so all the while managing to stay focused on the main thread of Typescripted Javascript.

Overall this is a great class from a great teacher, definitely worth the time! The main problem this course has is that there are a ton of huge tangents. The tangents are interesting and useful to know, but if you are trying to learn typescript/redux fast, just do the initial appendix and up to section 4. If you have more time, up to section 20 of the project is worth it. After that look ahead and see if the topics interest you bc he dives into less related material.

What a terrific course! I am very impressed by the quality and thoughtfulness of the application that we were able to build throughout the lessons. It's a great course to bridge the gap between working on standard crud operations and engineering a software application for a real-world use case. The instructor did a phenomenal job in helping students to analyze the steps they need to take as an engineer and explaining the reason for our approaches to various design complications. I've learned a lot of practical knowledge that can now be applied to my other projects and I couldn't be happier about my decision to take this course.

This is the second course of S.G. that I am taking. He is one of go-to instructor on Udemy in my opinion. This course, like many courses in Udemy, it's a pretty decent course. However, there are some things to mention about. #1. It'd be great if there is any explanation or at least some hints how we can implement the optional tasks at the very end. It felt like you just threw away what we almost finished and left. #2. instead of putting 5h 40min of TS course, it would be great if there's more about Lerna and general deployment in dept. There was only one deployment and that was it. Besides, it says TS part is optional, but I have to take all of it to get certificate. #3. Error handlings (especially in try-catch) were very poorly dealt so it is hard to manage testing and so on. I wrote quite a lot of complaints, but it was a great course for $10. Thank you S.G. for creating this course.

at first, i want to thanks Stephen for his passion of teaching so difficult topics and not giving up on challenging us to give our best to follow and understand what he want us to learn. The course is great and as always mind blowing :-) . You start excited , then you are frustrated with how long and how much commitment you need to complete it. At the end you are just amazed with how much content you have received. again thank you for all. This was my 3rd course from him after the typescript and microservices the impression stay the same amazing content. Learning the hard way but learning the right things.
