NodeJS Tutorial and Projects Course

This course was, more or less, exactly what I wanted, plus as of July 2023, the instructor did a fantastic job of providing updates and patches, which I cant say for every instructor here on Udemy! I came into this as a Frontend Dev hoping to learn more about the MERN stack, and I think the instructor did an excellent job explaining Node, Express, and MongoDB. I appreciated that he gave some discussion about what/how Node functions, as that really helps me to get a fuller picture of what I'm supposed to be doing (as opposed to purely coding along). I am definitely one of those people that needs to know how something is working, or what it's function is, and in general John did a great job explaining things in detail as we went through the projects. Of course, I mostly appreciated all of the projects the instructor used to illustrate concepts - I now feel very comfortable with basic server setup, and even though we didn't repetitively go over advanced concepts, I now have a great resource to use when I am looking to implement those more advanced concepts. I think it would be difficult to come into this class without a working knowledge of how frontend works (how to send information to the backend, query params, useState in React)...remember, this course doesn't focus on frontend, so if you want a more thorough understanding of how/why some of the backend interacts with the frontend, you'll have to do some outside research.

Really great. I studied a little bit of NodeJS before starting this course but now I can trully understand the fundamentals and why things work

I am a mobile app developer trying to learn Backend tech. This course so far has been so knowledgable. I have learn a lot about nodeJS and expressJS.

Excellent course! John really explains in detail how to setup your Node/Express server very clearly and the pace is one I can follow along with ease.

John's an amazing teacher and communicator. I recommend this to everyone who's starting out. The projects are well constructed and it was a fantastic and accessible experience to code along at my own pace.

Guy is goated with example codes, projects and explanations. Very good for getting started with my own website after practicing and learning from the projects

amazing course, definitely go ahead and take it, don't even hesitate it, covered a lot of details in this course. thank you teacher cheers

Until now I am able to understand the code and execute it. Hope it remains same in the further lessons. John's explaination is effortless and humourous which helps in easy understanding and fun learning.

That`s a fantastic course if you already know Javascript and you want to improve your skills in backend. The projects are great to practice JS and DB. You shoud try it!

The course is very detailed and it covers a lot, from the fundamentals to the complex details. It's really worth it buying this course, you won't regret it.

This is the best nodejs course that I found here in Udemy. The course is complete and easy to understand.

A well and extensive course that is amazing and I can't show my thanks enough to the teacher because he was awesome!

Very nice slow pace, practicing every concept getting from easy forward to more complicated stuff. Very understandable! Great job!

This course is really great and I REALLY enjoyed learning from john, it feels as though the learning was physical and I enjoyed how he throws in subtle jokes every here and there, especially about his typo errors :), making the lectures, not-boring. He is really a great teacher.

This project-based tutorial is very effective. It lets me learn all the knowledges while knowing what they can do and how they will be applied in real world. I have learned a lot from this as well as other courses by Mr. John Smilga. His teaching is meticulous and easy to understand. I highly recommend John's tutorials.
