This course is packed full of useful information. I think it contains about all the knowledge needed to become a full-stack developer from scratch.

So far, I am really enjoying this course. It is interesting and going at a pace that is perfect for someone not very familiar with APIs. The examples are easy to understand.
Are the 4 and 5 star reviews real? I expected to really like this course but it's got some very serious problems. Firstly, the entire thing is just like the preview. The author is repeating the same broad concepts over and over again with a lot of random stock video clips. Finally, in Section 3: Lesson 10, I thought we were finally going to learn how to build an API. Instead, he completely "blows through" the concepts but never gets into any detail or shows you how to do anything. Most people would be very lost. This is most definitely NOT for beginners. I am a high-level developer of many years and about to transfer to a different job where I need to be an API expert. I thought this course would help. I already have high-intermediate knowledge of GIT, NODE.JS, VS Code, and JavaScript, which is the only reason I understood most of what he was talking about and could get as far as loading the Git clone into VS Code. In Lesson 10, he says over and over again to "type-in NPM" but never once says tells you WHERE to type it and never SHOWS you how to do what he's talking about. It's ALL just overview. He tells you to download and use Node.JS to clone his git repo, but also says to load it into VS Code, how? Is he recommending two different ways to use the cloned repo? Or is he telling you to call the Node.Js-cloned Repo FROM VS Code?
If you already know the aforementioned technologies well, and you already understand the basics of how to build APIs, then you might find a few things in this "course" useful. If I saw this course for free, then I would have thought it was a cool general overview with a couple of interesting ideas that I'd like to try out, but this course is not at all what it's selling itself to be. If you want to learn how to build and sell APIs and you're just a beginner, this is not your course.
When I had read the small number of negative reviews, I thought those people were just being harsh and didn't really try hard enough. Now, I know they were accurate. I feel bad tearing down somebody's course, as I'm sure he's a nice guy and he's obviously a talented developer, but for teaching on a scale of 1 to 5, I'm giving it a 2. That's a D. The author should pair up with a really good Technical Writer and develop an excellent and valuable course! I wish him luck.

The instructor has a really nice way of explaining.
