Course Description
As someone that utilizes NestJS on a daily basis at work and beyond, I'd love to share everything that I've learned in this course. This is the most comprehensive NestJS course on Udemy and if you don't think so, you can request a full refund.
NestJS is a progressive NodeJS framework that will allow us to build reliable scalable, and maintainable server-side backend applications with incredible ease.
In this course, you will be building two professional applications. The first will be an Expense App, where you will learn:
The fundamentals of NestJS
Different NestJS entities, like controllers, services, interceptors, pipes, and modules
NestJS best practices
In the second project, the Realtor App, we will learn about:
Interacting with a Postgress database with an ORM (Prisma)
Creating a database model and performing CRUD operations
How to authenticate and identify a user
How to authorize certain endpoints for specific users
How to properly write automated tests for our services and controllers
How to create custom param decorators
Learn about advanced NestJS entities like guards and interceptors
I am very proud of this course and I really hope you take and enjoy it. If you ever need any sort of help, please send me a message on Udemy and I will always answer your questions.

It was a great intro into NestJS, although I think that some concepts are glossed over really fast and even after finishing the course, I can't say I feel very confident about the knowledge gained here.
By Jasper Berkel on 10/5/2023
Clear voice, good sound, friendly, and well-explained in the beginning and middle. Towards the end, I felt that the explanations regarding why we use certain functions and how things work dropped a bit.

the tutor is very concise and clear in explaining the nests concepts. i recommend this course to any beginner who wants to delve deeper in nestjs

Just from the beginning you can observe that the instructor has an amazing way to explain things(with an easy words), and what he would achieve across the course.

Great, thorough introduction to Nest.js. Good pace, good explanations up-to-date. All the basics you need to know and then some. I really enjoy the teaching style.

Clear presentation, good examples. Note: I said course was good on mobile, but I’m using an iPad. I have my doubts about a small phone screen.

This course is good but some sections are not continued video. I'm a newbie learning may be confusing in some sections. But it is suitable for people who have skills in typescript and javascript.
By Bara O on 5/22/2022
Almost done with the course but I've learned so much already. The instructor covers the NestJS very well and the project is very realistic to how an app would be developed in the industry.
By Fons Roelandt on 3/20/2022
A clear and understandable course. Sometimes the code in the following video differs from what has been written so far, which makes it a bit unclear. But is an unintended but good exercise in understanding what is happening. The course ends rather abruptly, a wrap up would have been nice, possibly with some reference material or possible next steps. Overall it's a good starters course, which i would recommend to others that have some knowledge on JS but want a basic insight in what NestJS is all about.
By Jordan Hunter on 2/19/2022
I've found the instructor's YouTube videos to be extremely helpful for understanding concepts that I've often struggled with. I had been thinking about getting a course on NestJS for awhile so this was an instant buy for me. So far this course is everything I've come to expect and more.
