Learn Nodejs by building 12 projects

It is. Some areas could be improved. Such as maybe updating the content, since new subscribers would have to face with new configuration of using libraries, which is not covered in this course as it is not updated.

EDIT as per request from course team: There are only 10 projects, not the 12 as advertised fairly clear. I am a little surprised as there are many comments, left by me and other students, over several months, in the course Q and A’s. As said, I have not completed, currently I need a more productive course, but out of the 10 projects I have tried 6 and of those 3 have the following specific issues: Section 4 User Logon System Validation method uses deprecated and now removed API. API has been deprecated for 3 major versions. Section 6 Bookstore Whole technology stack is dead (> 2 years), is not recommended for new projects see above warnings and in any case I could not get to build. Section 8 Findadoc Cassandra installation is outdated and does not include help for installation on a MAC. Even searching I was still struggling even installing. Original review: This course has real potential to be excellent, if you want a 100ft view of many node technologies, as I did. However as of late 2019 there are only 10 projects, not the 12 advertised, and a number of required technologies / packages used are deprecated. This means packages are incompatible, have numerous vulnerabilities (consider carefully for use in live deployment) and/or the whole package is not recommended for new projects. Hence you will not learn the newest techniques and the provided information / code is starting to break badly i.e. pug is the new jade. Unfortunately Brad is not keeping up with these changes, despite some being prior to the last course update, and out of the first 5 projects 2 need a lot of work to complete. This course requires old versions of node, express validation and (possibly npm yuks) to name the few I have found, so you will have to be willing to install those. However in project 4 Gulp and others are very likely suspects too. You will need to carefully go through all the QAs to find hints of what to do when things fail, even when using the downloaded source code. Unfortunately the answer often just leads to ‘I installed an older version of X’ so you will have to be prepared to work that out yourself by trying, reading and debugging. In full credit questions where still being answered, but not ones on what depreciated package code, does. After spending hours on the 2nd project I have finally almost successfully incorporated the new express validate, which I undertook as a learning exercise, but are not included in the course. However on the 4th project there are 7 warnings on the 1st install command. The first is about one of the packages we are installing: ‘deprecated bower@1.8.8: We don’t recommend using Bower for new projects. Please consider Yarn and Webpack or Parcel.’, the second is about a dependency of one of those installed packages: deprecated natives@1.1.6: This module relies on Node.js’s internals and will break at some point. Hopefully you get the idea, so if you have legacy projects to support this may be a good course for you to learn why you should stay current. In case you think ‘ah warnings ignore them’ the second command ‘yo kraken’ errors for completely different reasons, whilst just skipping to the end and building the provided project download with ‘npm install’ fails completely. As what I am learning is not current node, but how to debug legacy applications, that should now not be written let alone deployed, I am considering the sense of investing time in the rest of this course.

Yes the detail for each topic is amazing

Explanation is not upto the mark and the lectures should be elaborative and explanatory.
