This course covers the full-stack server side REST API development.You need to have a very good background of Javascript.The lecturer explains very detailed but the exercise is a little bit long.

Wonderful course explained with real life scenarios. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and assignments.

By Jose A R M on 14-Oct-19

The course doesnot cover the specifics of NodeJs such as asynchronous IO and callbacks or the new items introduced in ES2015 but covers too easy steps which feels like spoon feeding a 2 year old.I think the course was targeted at a high school level class, instead of software professionals or Bachelors who already have some experience with programming.
