The content was interesting and different from what the majority of courses cover. Thank you for pointing out how Node should be installed on the system, I had a messy setup before this course.

It's a good start to learn Node.js. I especially appreciated the section for evaluating npm packages, very important, but often overlooked in other courses.

This course was very good, and I liked it very much that every example comes with the corresponding explanation, and every change comes with an explanation.

The basic usage of Node.js was explained. The front end, mock-api, and command line tools were used to run Node.js in a practical way. I especially enjoyed the chapter on command line tools.
