About The Channel
The knowledge that I share here is mostly from my personal experiences. I wouldn't say I'm a 20 year professional, rather I am just a DevOps / Software Engineer with a lot of experience who enjoys teaching what I know in my spare time. I believe that sharing some of my basic knowledge on this platform can help others get started. There are many ways to program something and the videos you see here are my take on the NodeJS / Typescript / and sometimes Unity world. If this channel helps you learn, or helps you think differently then my job is done 😊.

M8, you are one of the best tutors, nice, clean, no trash talking, perfect tempo, pure and calm voice, and most important - pure essence. I keep fingers corssed for your success as a tutor.

[fatahbe]

very very good. I Lover your best practice

[lucascubile]

Honestly at this point if you're using typescript you should just go NestJs cause this way of woking with express is just very VERY close to what nest does (as it uses express under the hood) so if you're gonna use express this way just save yourself the trouble and go Nest. Great vid nevertheless

great playlist. plus point could be adding auth and protected routes.

[KrzysztofLuczakPro]

Great playlist! Can you show how to do auth using decorators?

[sjorsklaassen]

Why do you make the decorator of the mongoose decorators in middleware form? You only showed one really briefly at the end and I want to know why I should or should not make the middleware variants.

[chineduekeneokpala]

So i noticed that the class `this` returns undefind, might this due to how the controller decorator was done?

This is a great series of videos, also I think you’re a great tutor. However I don’t think this is the best way to show people how to do, your application is coupled with mongo which is far from a best practice (n-tiers, clean, …)
