Heroku tool is now not available for free, so it felt not useful to learn that integration. I would suggest the team to update the technicals now and then so that we can also be updated with levels.

Course is from 2019-ish and needs updating as some sections are difficult to follow due to age. Heroku no longer provides a free tier since 2022 and IEX Cloud (stock API) service was closed in 2024

Good teaching style, information is generally presented in small chunks that help make it easier to understand. A couple programs the course expects to be used are outdated or no longer available, however.

I had the opportunity to take part in many training courses, but I must admit that there are not many as good as this one, and I say this with full responsibility! The trainer raises many important and interesting issues. He does it in an orderly and very careful way. Moreover, he is an American, so it's nice to hear him speak English without a tiring accent, etc. Moreover, he has a great sense of humor! I sincerely recommend this training and probably different from this trainer!

Excellent class. Very good pace. I like how it's broken into lots of little 3 to 5 minute modules. Keeps it interesting and also makes it easy to find a previous module on a certain topic.

PERFECT for my use case. Came here for the js intro and stayed till the end. I wish all courses in Udemy had this kind of teaching philosophy. Straight to the point. No fuss. Perfect english. JUST ENOUGH depth. Amazing.

This has been a good introduction for javascript so far having had experience in other languages beforehand. I have not reached Node yet so cannot comment on that.

very clear and easy to learn.

The instructor has been developing stuff ever since the internet became publicly available, and his explanations are superb! Go for it! :)

I think that you go about the courses the wrong way, just a personal opinion. I think you are very knowledgeable on the topics, but some things you could do differently that would greatly improve the courses over all. One thing is not adding portions to your courses if you are going to speed through them very quickly. I think it is a far better idea to just make another course for it entirely, especially if you are going to offer the courses at a one time price. Also, you tend to be a bit all over the place, although you do get the content needed in the mysql part, which was the entire reason why I personally was buying this course. In the end, I got what I was looking for anyways plus a huge bonus with the option of future courses at a one time price, which was beyond awesome. I just feel that you should plan out your courses before you start them, figure out how long it will take to teach whatever you plan to teach, and if you aren't going to be able to do it at a gradual pace then put it in another course altogether. I would have given you 5 stars simply for the offer of the discount which is extremely nice, but I wanted to add the criticism so that you do a far better job at laying it out and will be far more successful in teaching people both for them and yourself since you clearly have a passion for helping people. I think another great idea that I just came up with would be to add a misc section for all the other random things you can do with the code instead of putting them in the middle of the core topics. Honestly, you could probably make another course for that just alone.
