The Complete Node.js Developer Course (3rd Edition)

Have you tried to learn Node before? You start a new course, and the instructor has you installing a bunch of libraries before you even know what Node is or how it works. You eventually get stuck and reach out to the instructor, but you get no reply. You then close the course and never open it again.

Sound familiar?

I created this course to be what I wanted when I was learning Node.

The Complete Node.js Developer Course covers the fundamentals of Node before diving deep into great tools like Express, Mongoose, and MongoDB.

The entire course is based around a single goal: Turning you into a professional Node developer capable of developing, testing, and deploying real-world production applications.

The best way to learn Node is by building Node apps.

From the very start you’ll be programming every project and working through challenges that I’ve designed to reinforce what you’ve learned. This will give you the hands-on experience necessary to be able to create and launch your own project once you’re done.

You’ll be building four projects:

1. A note-taking app to get your feet wet

2. A weather application that interacts with the MapBox and Dark Sky APIs

3. A task manager A real-time chat app with a client-side companion

By the end, you’ll be able to take what you’ve learned and launch your own Node application.

When learning, learn the latest.

I work to keep this course full of the most up-to-date Node material out there. This course is compatible with the latest Node.js version.

You’re getting access to hot-off-the-press features.

Everything you need comes in one easy-to-use package.

You can stop worrying if you're learning the right skills to build an app or land a new job. I've curated all the tech that's essential to building real-world apps. I've mapped out everything in a comprehensive, easy-to-follow package designed to get you up and running in a few weeks.

There’s no better time to learn Node.

According to the 2016 Stack Overflow Survey, Node is in the top ten for back-end popularity and back-end salary, with an average salary of $85k. This means more jobs and more opportunities for you.

You might get stuck. But I’m here to help.

There’s nothing worse than getting five hours into a course, getting stuck, and not getting the help you need to continue.

I’m in the Q&A everyday to help you get unstuck. I reply to every question to get you back on track.

Don’t take my word for it. Check the reviews and see what other students are saying.

worth every penny

This might be the best course I've ever taken online...and I'm a glutton for Lynda, udemy, envato, laracasts, codeschool...you name it...this is hands-down worth every penny, even if not on Udemy sale.

It's absolutely worth every penny!

Its worth every penny and Andrew and Adam are amazing as they are knowledgable.

It is worth every penny.

Worth every penny!

Worth every penny.

Reason: Socket part is too long, better to spend time on some other Node.js features Bien detallado, con ejemplos claros, orientado a la práctica y con las explicaciones teóricas necesarias para entender lo que estamos haciendo Just to say I learned a lot from this training, it is worth every penny.

This course is worth every penny spent.

great lecturer and lectures, worth every penny spent on the course and much more, learnt a whole lot about node.

Worth every penny!!

Really worth every penny.

Easy to understand, easy to follow... great course, worth every penny :) 講師條理清晰,很好理解 This is my first time on udemy taking any couse and I am feeling awesone while taking this course, really helpful for me description of the course is really great Andrew is a very talented educator + + Really helpful The course is promising so far.

event loop

I have watched several videos which explains async programming and event loops on YouTube and I couldn't fully understand it until I watch the related topic in here.

Also to add, the callback queue-event loop video is a must watch, the way he has explained is just mind blowing.

quick and concise presentation of the exact information i was looking for Great course Call stack, Node API and Event Loop explanation is really awesome.

(May be more about event loop) But other parts of teaching were excellent.

Of course I am biased as an experienced developer, I have used Node in Similar ways, but I was hoping for more detailed subjects such as the event loop, memory management and other things directly related to Node and the V8 runtime itself.

Excellent explanation of Call Stack, Callback Queue, and Event Loop.

Simple explanation of NIO, Event Loop, Async and Single threaded wrt NodeJS Andrew does a great Pros: - Andrew does an excellent job on narrating what he is doing.

Excellent visualization of the event loop, really clear explanation!

Additionally, this course forced me to wrap my head around how password storage and encryption works, how asynchronous programming and the event loop operates, and in particular, how ES6 promises work.

A couple of things I would have liked to see included are: A breakdown of the event loop (the 4 stages of the event look, nextTick, etc...) Best practices for testing event handlers (maybe as part of the chat app).

highlights: - great use of real world examples - the chat app was a strong project I feel confident in showing to others - I learned a great deal about socketio and how to write async tests - I have a fundamentally better knowledge about aysnc vs sync code and how to tame it improvements - would have liked more examples using react and socketio - would have liked more detailed explanation of the event loop on the server side vs event loop in the browser overall great job!

I would have liked to see a more in-depth course on node (Event loop?

- If you want you can keep some videos of the node.js fundamentals section like: using require and requiring your own files, also the videos async basics and call stack & event loop from the 4th section.

This course goes in depth into Node and explains how it works like why aren't setTimeout callbacks called immediate when the timeout is set to 0 seconds or how does the event loop work?

well worth the money

Well worth the money, the course is to a very high standard.

Well worth the money.

Well worth the money!

I've learned so much and it was well worth the money.

Well worth the money and time invested!

arrow functions

Also, html, css and intermediate javascript should be assumed when taking a node course, to avoid going through (briefly) div tags, basic styling and arrow functions.

One suggestion: instructor speaks very fast (it may be an issue for non english people) and loud and sometimes he talks about very basic JS things in-between node topics like arrow functions, object destruct etc.

Great introduction to the syntax of ES6 and arrow functions.

One problem I had throughout the course was that sometimes Andrew moved pretty quickly and I had to pause or rewind the video to get a grasp on some of the stuff I was learning, especially using some of the ES6 syntax that I was not used to like arrow functions.

I think there little more explanation about ES5, ES6 and arrow functions etc.

Arrow functions, promises and classes are used by default which makes for much cleaner, easier to read code.

This particular series has unlocked so many concepts for me like app.use middleware, routes, CORS, schema and models, stateless authentication using JWT, etc... as always, thanks for your publishing such high-quality content on Udemy. When I started the course, he explained extreme basic things things like what is JSON, arrow functions.

It is covering all basics (and advanced features) of Node, Express, Mocha, testing of JS scripts, MongoDB, Mongoose, APIs, new Javascript ES6 features including promises and arrow functions and lot more.

Maybe the biggest thing I value is the repetition (writing callbacks again and again, writing arrow functions again and again, deploying to github again and against, etc).

Or the use of arrow functions in some cases, etc.

I prefer this way of teaching than just jumping to the cool flashy things (like Arrow functions in ES6) since it gives context to the shortcuts.

top notch

This guy is a top notch instructor.

His content is top notch with great examples, demos, etc.

Instructor: Andrew is exceptionally good at this - very clear, good diction, pace, no "um's" etc - really top notch instructor Course content: This is a great fundamentals course, goes over node, express, mongo, mongoose, testing, mocha, supertest, socket.io, postman testing etc - very broad scope.

His pacing is top notch, not too fast and not too slow and he generally keeps to the point.

i think this guy andrew is doing a top notch job.

Top notch!

The instructor is top notch and goes thru everything in great detail.

The communication skills of the instructor are top notch.

Top notch instructor.

Great video and audio quality I enjoyed Andrew's course.

Just amazing....10/10 video and audio quality, great explanations and just a right pace.

First of all, the video and audio quality is 5/5, the instructor really knows what he's talking about and he covers not just node but all the little but important things around it (tools etc.)

The video and audio quality is great quality Clear, concise and excellently communicated.

java script

I do not have any background of node js and java script, but I am able to understand all the classes and all the contents.

I had no experience with node or java script before the class but feel confident I can now build working applications.

This is fantastic Instructor is enthusiastic and engaging, and pace of course is just perfect, I have taken Java Script Course from Andrew, hence I preferred him for node also, He is also updating course content as needed.

I have been doing java programming for more than twelve years and always felt like having a handicap for not getting involved with Java Script.

I have been using java script in browser.

Very detailed and informative course, however he does expect you to know a little bit of java script coming into the course which can be cumbersome.

It would be nice if he went into more detail on some of the java script syntax he uses and why .

i have come to know the basic difference of nodejs and java script which i was not aware earlier, its very well explain it.

The teacher is little bit fast.He has to give some basic intro to Java script.

he assumes we know java script So far so good, I like the enthusiasm Good so far I appreciate the depth of information presented.

third party

I'm excited to take the courses since I need to write a server side wrapper to access third party APIs.

I also loved how he kept on updating the course contents as new versions of the third party packages used in it were released.

Also you get to know good third party libraries.

He also provides a lot of information on third party modules that I have found useful.

Covers various third party libraries which will be useful in real time.

This way he avoids the common pitfall of lessons failing due to a line or two of some third party code changing.

I took this course to learn about Node.js, the built in modules, and some great third party packages.

If you want to learn Node.js, the run time, the built in modules, and great third party modules... then don't buy this course, because you will not finish it.

I have tried so many node.js tutorials that promise you so much at the beginning but delve deep into third party modules mid-way.

As far as the course goes I like the way its outlined and how advanced third party modules make its way into the course slowly.

my only complaint

My only complaint is that he only teaches a handful of classes because I'd love to learn more from him.

My only complaint can be, sometimes he writes code without explaining it all.

My only complaint (and it is very small) is sometimes the pace of the videos can seem rather quick.

My only complaint is that it's a bit dated with the syntax on the frontend parts, though the newest additions are fully up to date as of this writing (ie Node 8, async/await, upgraded Expect library) and thats fantastic!

My only complaint is that every time Andrew makes a new course, I end up buying it.

deep dive into

A good & consistent course that teaches a little bit of everything, also gives pointers on how to really deep dive into sections as well!

deep dive into back-end side of things.

I took this course because I wanted a deep dive into Node.js.

I particularly appreciate the deep dive into built-in Node functions and the holistic development approach, rather than just a "follow along and build this app" approach.

I am looking forward to this as a deep dive into node.
