Do you have any plans on updating your React udemy course?

[abishekh]

How often is this course going to be updated? Because your React course is practically dead.

[AleksandarIvanov]

You would know immediately why this is great, if you try to dynamically change numbers inside strings, based on mathematical operations with a loosely typed language like Javascript or PowerShell...

[auraai]

Please let us know when you're going to update your react course you beautiful genius

[rimantasdanilevicius]

TypeScript sounds like more strict JavaScript ;D

Hi Colt, any coupon you can share with us for React course on Udemy?

[hoangthiendo]

Hi Colt! I recently encountered your The complete web dev bootcamp 2022 on Udemy (65 hours). I was impressed by the huge number of your rating and students (look like this is the course I need). But there is a problem, I did not see any JS library frontend (React, Vue, ...) in your Curriculum (You have HTML CSS JS, Node and MongoDB but not contain any frontend library) So I wonder if this is not a problem, should I take this course?

While listening to your Udemy lecture, my Macbook finder doesn’t work when I type ‘sudo chown -R$USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules’ that you asked me to type in Macbook terminal Please answer me why this

[brambekkers]

Ill would like to see some Vue or Svelte typescript examples. Are you planning to add these to the course?

[otavio]

For newbies, would we be better off learning TS instead of JS from the scratch?

[Mitsunee_]

people on twitter/reddit would yell and scream about the add(true, 32) example and I'm just here like "that's 33, innit?"

[alveek]

so you can basically add just one line in vanilla JS:
if (typeof(x) && typeof(y) === 'number') {do this and that}
too much noise around types. i don't get it.

TS is the most useless lang out there, and competition is not small. I always LOL hearing stories like TS improves JS, while in reality resulting JS code TOTALLY IGNORES everything you wrote in TS. And saying that TS stops us from adding a string and a number, this is an insult to all even slightly capable programmers. TS is just a mktg effort of a famous company to enter into a popular JS ecosystem, and to lure in OOP programmers into thinking that JS is also an OOP language which is far from the truth. TS programmers use a functional language JS in an OOP way, thus totally wrong from the start. And result is forcing excellent JS to behave wrong way producing sub-optimal code results. Go figure
