[@siddhantjain2402]

Incredible series Max! I am loving this! It's almost Udemy course level series we are getting for free. Thank you so much!

[@academind]

Thanks a million for this fantastic feedback Siddhant, this honestly means a lot to me!

[@anirudhganwal06]

I love your tutorials. I would not be a person like I am today without your tutorials. So, thank you! Keep inspiring! - Your fan

[@academind]

Wow, thank you!

[@minnyanlin2051]

I really love the ways you teach me, you open my mind a lot , I want to say deeply thanks you

[@dougiehawes916]

this is the perfect serious if you're series about learning GraphQL

[@aminajao6707]

oh God why na

[@rickybruno5697]

Hi! Thanks for this serie. Why don't you use graphql-yoga? It's a better way to set up GraphQL within Express. Regards from Argentina!

[@abbyck]

I was waiting for it. Thanks to building an awesome community down here too

[@numtostr]

Thanks max. As always your contents are top notch. I already learnt a lot from you. And you are the go to teacher for me. As I am doing great in node, but I was reading for how to make node apps freaking fast. I stumble upon redis caching. I then start learning redis but I didn't find any solid content how to integrate with node, mongodb and mongoose. I would be great if you show some caching techniques and how to do redis with node and mongodb.

[@giachan4528]

this is exactly what i am looking for to learn in 2021!!! thanks for the free learning resources!!!

[@임창수-c7c]

This is what i've been looking for! By the way, you don't prefer using typescript with react?

[@davidrojas5th941]

ikr, today I've been looking all day for some tutorial explaining how to properly start a project and just now I stumbled upon this video that uses the stack I want to use and on top of that was released exactly when I needed it. Perfect timing!

[@grandpowr]

This is a nice Christmas present! Thank you

[@academind]

More parts to come Adrian, but great to read that you like it :)

[@rohitsanjay1]

Thank you so much for these videos!!! Really helpful

[@academind]

Thank YOU for your support Rohit!

[@ansystutorials5467]

Great Tutorial but I get an error, I did the same thing, what you did but after I wrote "npm start" I get this error: "npm ERR! missing script: start" how can I fix this?

[@maxmountain]

What is the name of the method you are using when designing and defining the requirements for your system? I wonder if you could share what methods and language you have been using when analysing and designing complex web applications? Thank you!

[@itsUnsmart]

nice serious bro

[@VinniiMiranda]

I am really, really excited to see what comes next. Great video btw.

[@academind]

Great to read that you like the series Vinnii! Next part will be released this week :)

[@sandeepgill62]

Do you have any specific course for "front-end React components, GraphQL APIs, and Node.JS services" on Udemy or any other platform?

[@GeordyJames]

Thanks for making this course. I checked out your nodejs course. It is really nice with alot of season but I don't see dedicated testing session in this course. Do you have any plan to add them to it.

[@academind]

Thanks a lot for your comment Geordy. I decided not to include testing as the course is really huge already (there are always additional topics that could be included and testing surely is one of these). I might add a module on testing in the future, but I don't plan to do so in the near future.

[@alekseimets6075]

I hope, that all videos had subtitles. I see that lot of parts videos aren't available subtitles.

[@alekseimets6075]

I can't survive with tutorial videos without subtitles because I am deaf. I want to learn something special at Academind's tutorial.

[@NdamuleloNemakh]

Man, you guys are the best!

[@pchound5962]

I get "[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting..." How do I fix this?

[@netstereo]

Hi Max. One question: How you got the .vscode folder and the .gitignore file created on project setup? Manually? Thanks for you content

[@academind]

Yep, added that manually

[@gururajmoger8649]

Owww.thank you.. please continue..

[@academind]

I will, no worries ;)

[@gururajmoger8649]

@@academind Also make role based React app.. animations.. complex.. advance thanks..

[@risabhable]

Hello max you really are a good teacher..got a job after your enrolling to your react course on udemy..I want to enroll to this node.js course as well but just want to know that have you covered mongodb schema designs and how to use ref and populate is used in mongoose..please rply

[@mohsenmadi3590]

Many thanks for such educational tutorials Max. If I may suggest as we're following many of your videos, going forward maybe it's attractive to use typescript syntax (import, export...) with some transpiler like babel

[@assane-sarr]

hello is that you can use AdonisJs instead of express JS

[@ramonportela7048]

Hi Max, greetings from Brazil. Another awesome video as always keep up the great job

[@academind]

Thanks a lot for your awesome feedback Ramon, I'll do my best to keep it up! Greetings from Germany :)

[@Mohamed-lh5th]

Waiting for upcoming videos!

[@academind]

Next video will be released this week :)

[@gunnerr91]

I have just learned about graphql and as I was going through the tutorial I am a bit confused about something. So to implement graphql do I need to set it up in both the client and the server side? For instance, currently I have a web api that gives json result for my web page, so do I need to implement the schema in the UI when I make the service request, or does my web api need to be configured as well for graphql to work properly?

[@szachgr43]

Hi Max, How many videos do you predict for this series ?

[@academind]

Can't tell you a number at the moment as I'm still producing the videos. Will be a longer series, that's what I can say already.

[@mohamedsulaiman3601]

Thank you Max. Waiting for the next video

[@academind]

Thank you for your comment Mohamed. More videos to come (not only on this series) this week :)

[@madhujohn9018]

hmm can i use angular instead of react is it possible?

[@as20239]

Madhu John Yes you can. You can use any front end framework with Node js And Express

[@benjaminmoseslieb9856]

Great course, great teaching. One request. Please look into how to pronounce "series" in English. It sounds like you're saying "serious". I'm serious! Thanks for the good work.

[@academind]

Thanks a lot for your great feedback and the hint Benjamin! I'll try to keep it in mind for future videos.

[@saisreenivas2227]

Thank you

[@md.akib5124]

max did you release a new udemy course on stencil?? you haven't not announced that on youtube yet

[@academind]

I will release a video in a few minutes ;)

[@andyserrato]

oh yeah thank U so much, even though I'm following the NodeJS this suits me well enough to practice

[@academind]

Great to have you on board of the Node course (thanks for your support) and of this series Andy :)

[@CaimAstraea]

Hello. Is it more difficult to replace mongo with mysql ? I find very few guides focusing on it.

[@yannicks.93]

Don't use MySQL. If you want SQL, take PostgreSQL.

[@mscorzoni]

Will this course be available at Udemy?

[@academind]

No, the entire series will be released for free here on KZbin.

[@jafetl.ch.8961]

Thanks!

[@reyshinryu]

THANK U MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Demasification]

C'mon! let's go, let's go! await newVideo)

[@academind]

Will be released on Friday, two other (hopefully interesting) things to come today and tomorrow ;)

[@KochharAmandeep]

Sir 8 minute is less. We want more from a single part. Please make 30 minute video parts. I personally want to learn more and more from you 🙂

[@academind]

I'm not focusing onto the length of a single video to be honest. More (also longer) parts will be released in the next weeks, no worries.

[@Berend70]

which visual code editor extensions do you use for this project?

[@academind]

I actually use these extension in almost all videos => academind.com/learn/web-dev/visual-studio-code-introduction/#extensions

[@tkdevlop]

finally!!

[@buituandung911]

add cc please

[@victorjozwicki8179]

[@brawndo8726]

Does anyone else feel weird using const and require on the same line?

[@devnerdgirl4638]

I wonder how he says serious.

[@ajaybl6120]

"serious"
