Separating all files and calling each other from here and there, the entire system is highly organized. I follow many good channels, they do same but not at this level, this is really organization level formatting.

Great Video, Thanks bro. You make every step easy to learn.

[@deebo5284]

This is awesome! I learned about the MERN stack from freeCodeCamp's main curriculum, and felt like I learned a lot, but didn't make anything from scratch. Our NodeJS and Express projects were built from boilerplates. Consequently, I ended up feeling like I had bits and pieces of useful knowledge, but no ability to practically implement it myself...going through this video and writing this along with you, it really solidified and clarified my knowledge! You go at the perfect pace, don't assume too much knowledge (or too little) from beginners, and write everything in a logical order and clean strucutre. I didn't even finish this video yet, but I definitely will be trying to write my own little project on my own (and referring to the project you walked us through) after this (which was originally my plan--but I wasn't expecting to feel this excited and prepared!). Subscribed!

As a fresher without (absolutely) any development background, it took a long (really long) time for me to complete this tutorial. I faced numerous errors (clerical as well as technical), but finally finished the exercise today. I believe this exercise has taught me a lot when it comes to the backend aspect of an application, mainly, how to think logically and sequentially. Thank you very much for taking efforts to create this exercise. I just have one comment (not criticism). While I understand your objective of this tutorial was teaching node, if, at some point in time, you can create a simple frontend and show how to integrate this backend with it, it will be a full-fledged exercise, giving a complete perspective. Again, just a suggestion. Thanks again!!

[@DipeshMalvia]

That’s a valid suggestion, I will think about it. glad you enjoyed the video
