I watched this right before an interview, and the question about windows came up. I never knew about Node.js. I answered right that there is no windows object in Node and the interviewer was like you got it right, it was a tricky question. Thanks, Mosh. I will be going to the final step of the interview next week. Wish me luck all.

I Got the Job 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

These videos are the most fun I've had in a while. I didn't even wanna learn NodeJS tbh, but you made it so appealing that I got my laptop out, downloaded everything, and followed along. You made something that seemed scary to me attainable. Thank you Mosh, you're a real one! I found you from Coder Coder 🤓🙏🏽🙌🏽

I've been looking to learn node for a while but have trouble focusing through a whole tutorial. This tutorial had perfect pacing with just enough explanation to understand without becoming boring. Thank you for making node easier to learn!

[busyrand]

My gosh, this is phenomenal! I wish I could have found this a year or so ago. Programming confusion is so massive. I always have so many unanswered questions that I don't even know how to ask. You cleared up a bunch of things I was completely unclear about. Most tutorial skip the background, history, and theory which I think is very necessary because it helps troubleshooting with the full understanding of the systems/technologies involved.

[Miki]

Dude, I love watching Your vids. You have one of the most pleasant speaking and teaching styles out there! Plus the content, editing, recording quality, background music... Everything is perfect! Keep up the good work, please! ;)

[dpradeepc]

Whenever I start learning something new I look for the best and the simplest explanation which i get from Mosh all the time

[abhishekshan]

Man, you might be the best teacher ever. The way you explain things with those thought out and creative animations is awesome. I am glad you quit your job to pursue what you love doing and spread the knowledge. You are really really really good at this.

Project due tomorrow. 1.75 speed. Let’s go

[TheNaz]

seriously 20 mins in and you already summed up 2 of my university lectures. No joke, my prof spent that long trying to explain what node actually is. Thank you!

[Artificial_Intelligence_AI]

No matter if you are English, Arab, Russian... or Spanish like me, this guy is able to break the language wall and make the best and most understandable tutorial here on the internet (this is a true tutorial for beginners). This video is a masterclass of how a topic should be imparted, giving you a brief and clear explanation of every key part of the technology, avoiding things like throwing you overwhelming and artificial information extracted from the official documentation just for the first time. I don’t usually pay for online courses but I will consider to get your courses on Udemy after this video, you really deserve it.

BTW thanks for such a great learning and regards from Spain

There's a difference between knowing something well and TEACHING it well. You have both rare skillsets my friend. Thank you, from a 56-year-old expanding his knowledge base. I will be signing up for your courses.

[utkuguney]

I learned a lot from a 5 year old video. So simple, so clear, so good. Thanks.

[srik]

You are a hero for the students like us. I am inspired by your videos. Keep up the good work.

When we get to see live course for annual subscribers?

[gavrloo]

This tutorial is a real eye opener, at least for me. Thanks, Mosh! Excellent explanation and teaching skills!

I did struggle a lot to learn NodeJS. I wasted a lot of time.
The problem? I did not know the basics of Javascript in first place. You need to walk before you can run.
So I took a few very basic books (books, not complex tutorials!) and learned the fundamentals.
After I learned the basics of Javascript, learning NodeJS became much easier.
Edit: For those asking about the books, for the very basics I learned with Javascript In Less than 50 Pages.
And to develop my knowledge I learned with Head First Javacript Programming.

Your video is so entertaining and informative at the same time! Good work Mosh! I hope you can keep producing high quality content like this.

[comodsuda]

Great! Especially part about for what node should be used or not, and how asyc request works. I'm new at JS and this video helps me on this front too :)

[rahadrahman]

I started learning nodeJs for weeks now and you'r tutorial is the best I come across so far for the beginner.Thank you for this amazing tutorial.

[PaulBaarn]

This was EPIC. I know javascript but I had been putting off NodeJS because it seemed so complex. This video is so clear and easy to follow that I am now ready to dive deeper into this. Thanks, Mosh. I will be checking out your courses as well.

[sippy]

Your a pretty good techer. At first I found coding boring, but when you explained and helped me understand what I'm doing, I actually started enjoying it. It's cool how you could make.. basically anything. Thank you very much, much love. Also I'll subscribe too. :)
