The most difficult course in the IBM full stack developer specialization, but one of the most valuable. Take your time with it and learn everything, and remember why you started in the first place.

It is really best for basic or to clear foundation in backend with node. If someone is learning nodeJS as a beginner you need to have this course!!

Most of the labs didn't work throughout the course. Since just learning, this made it exceptionally difficult to apply anything in the course to the final project. The external links to lab walk-throughs also did not work, so was unable to get any hands on experience throughout the course.

Pretty Mechanical, you don't really learn anything because the videos are not engaging.

I completed the course before the free trial ended. However, when I tried to obtain the certificate, it was not allowed because I was asked to purchase a subscription.
