Learn and Understand NodeJS

This course has the same amazing quality that I experienced in Anthony's other course, JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts.

I have taken two of Anthony's courses – this one, and 'Javascript: Understanding The Weird Parts'.

I am enjoying learning from this instructor as I also took his Javascript : Understanding the Weird Parts class as well.

I highly suggest the "JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts" - it goes into much more detail about JS under the hood.

At first it can seem slow/awkward especially if you’ve come directly from Tony’s previous course "Javascript: understanding the weird parts".

I took the "JavaScript - understanding the weird parts" course already and now this node course.

Nice start but I'm not convinced by the last classes, the "let's build an app in record time" doesn't follow the "let's understand" spirit of the book Awesome course, but at least 30% has already been dealt with in "javascript understanding the weird parts" by the same author.

I also took "JavaScript understanding the weird parts" Which I highly recommend.

I came to this course from Javascript Understanding the Weird Parts and there is some overlap in Javascript fundamentals between this course and that one.

You set the bar high with Javascript: Understanding the Weird Parts- but this course delivered!

I already took his "Javascript: Understanding the weird parts" course, I can't recommend him enough.

Halfway through and I have 100% confidence that this course will continue to be as helpful to me as "JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts" Also, Anthony is doing these exercises and explanations on Windows.

I think anyone who needs those computer science basics explained to them is not ready to be a NodeJS programmer anyway.

Tony takes goes in depth into some real computer science fundamentals, not just node.js.

It is ideal for someone who wants to learn the connection between server-side and client-side web development but does not have a degree in computer science or a lot of professional experience (i.e., a novice to intermediate).

I wish my Computer Science professors had been this competent and articulate.

And well, this course seems to be created to achieve all people, no matter the level of computer science knowledge you have.

As a beginner in coding, I not only learned node, but lots of computer science that I can apply elsewhere.

However, this course is best for beginners, and people with plenty of experience with javascript and computer science will probably find parts of this course very boring.

I took Javascript: Understanding the Weird Parts, and my only wish is that he teaches every subject in computer science under the sun.

Seems a little off topic at the beginning, however this is valuable if you don't have a computer science degree, otherwise if like me it's just a rehash of things you already know and are off topic.

I am a computer science grad.

As someone who appreciates the intricacies of Computer Science, coupled with looking under the hood of web technologies, I am finding this course to be very comprehensive and practical.

In my case I'm new to Node JS but I have studied Computer Science in university.

This course helps you understand how node works and and building the correct mental model.

The instructor is very thorough, which helps us to build a good and clear mental model of what is being taught.

I already knew most of this from having tried to build a couple small MEAN-stack applications before, but it was a great refresher and it helped improved my mental model of how all the parts fit together.

The instructor really knows what he is talking about :-) I like the approach of understanding the foundations clearly like how the V8 engine works , the machine language and understanding the correct mental model for learning node This course is amazing.

This really helped build a mental model and broaden my perspective.

It's definitively not a basic tutorial, he teaches how to think about the concepts and estimulates you to create the mental model to implements your own solutions using it.

Not only does he show examples, but throughly explains how Node works, helping you build a great mental model.

A valid conceptual or mental model of the underlying structures will take one so much further.

Really enjoy the approach of ensuring you have a solid mental model of what's going on under the hood - not just 'copy/paste/run' it great speaker I really like the just-right pace of instruction (not too slow, not too fast) as well as the explanations of jargon and complex topics.

Visual studio code is a very useful tool to code and specially to debug your code, great tool introduced here and i am gonna use it for my all node coding.

I would like to give it a 10 STAR Many issues with installation on Windows and problems with running the debugger in Visual Studio Code not dealt with.

This seems like it should be an alright course, but it's taught using visual studio code, which doesn't work for me.

So far everything has been made concepts very clear and I have actually learned a great deal about Node JS, JavaScript, C++, Visual Studio Code and debugging Code and stepping through the code line by line already.

On the other hand, I was able to apply his introduction of Visual Studio Code to debug some specific Node JS at my office, and thereby helped me to provide valuable debugging documentation to our team.

My only complaint is that the course's pace is a little slow (due to the careful, thorough explanation of the program and its concepts).

My only complaint is that the entire course is a little slow.

You're the best teacher Very clear and thorough walk through of the various key concepts in Node, my only complaint is that I would like to see perhaps a more complex node application that brings everything together.

My only complaint is that I had repeated skipping problems with the audio on the videos, and my internet connection is fine so that's not the problem.

I did not know anything about node js nor java script before this course.

Instructor has done an excellent job in explaining all necessary concepts related to Server Side Java Script programming using NodeJS.

Particularly like the asides and big words alerts, a nice way to explain core programming and java script concepts Great course, well presented.

The way the trainer put forward the conceptual java script asides and other theories especially Big Word alerts is great.

Very detailed explanation of Node, not only how to code in java script but also how the node works and its core functionality.

It is actually the first Java Script course I like.

I am here to learn java script not the machine that runs it.

Keep up the good work Excelente curso It was a good preliminary session that talked about command line interface and was taught well.

I'm not sure the course should start at such a basic level as explaining what the command line interface is and what a method argument is.

very understandable Very well explained Gives basic command line interface for beginners Haven't quite gotten into it enough to give it a fair review.

Watching the instructor going through the nitty gritty bits and pieces with unwavering elegance is a treat.

Can be tough at times early in the course to stay with it due to the nitty gritty nature of the material, but stay with it!

He breaks down everything to the nitty gritty.

this is the third course i take from here :) hope this one will be good as the angularjs and javascript He gets down the nitty gritty details of how things work, so you leave understanding more than you think you caught from the video.

As a front-end dev student I really appreciate the digging into the nitty gritty of how Node works!

He really gets deep into the nitty gritty stuff that other teachers don't always cover which ultimately helps you understand why things work the way they do.

It taught me a bunch of things that I've wanted to know for a long time, like how how the Node source code works with V8 and C++, how the event loop in JS and Node works or how web requests work in general.

Definitely worthwhile for beginners or anyone looking to go deeper how NodeJS works or on object prototype, the event loop, v8, and http request/response.

I had to read countless articles about the event loop after taking this course before beginning to fully understand this and feel it should have been addressed better in the course.

He explains in a clear manner the fundamental concepts of NodeJS, including module design patterns, libuv, the event loop, asynchronous versus synchronous execution, event emitters, buffers, streams, JSON, HTTP, routing, npm, package.json, Express, and more.

- - - - - - I think some of the code can be more understandable, especially in explaining the event loop with conversion to class syntax, if he commented his code a bit more.

it also teaches you how the event loop, LibUV and V8 works and why are they there.

Great pacing and really interesting insight into the nuts and bolts of Node.

Good to have an instructor that explains the nuts and bolts of the subject!

But i have questions) i will check for course updates :) The really good deep explanation for understanding how the node js is running and clear explaining about the javascript core prototypal inheritance and lots of big word alerts.

You can begin to understand prototypal inheritance and streams yet not know why these are required for a webserver.

In addition to NodeJS concepts, I also gained a better understanding on several topics about the JavaScript language in general such as Prototypal Inheritance.

It comes in pretty early into the course, but the section on Prototypal Inheritance in particular was especially useful to me because it unlocked a whole new set of tools for me to use in my own projects.

I left this rating after watching the Javascript aside covering prototypal inheritance and also just the conceptual asides in general.

It is not considered magic coming out of a "black box".

Personally, he inspired me to explore the code of other people that until now I considered to be "Boaring" or "Black Boxes".

nothing much about NodeJs in this course This course goes to a good level of depth to provide a complete understanding behind the workings of NodeJS which I never had before, and shows that it is not a mysterious black box technology which can’t be understood - In fact, the NodeJS source is stepped into in various parts of the course to demonstrate exactly what is going on when you utilise certain features.

Node JS was a "black box" to me until this course provided insight and clarity into what Node really is and how it works.
