This is the best NodeJS series ever made.

[kanikamehrotra]

Thankyou so much for the wonderful playlist.

[varmapurushotham]

Enjoyed the entire video! Lot of learning! Thank you :)

[AkshaySharma-bgoj]

Thanks a lot for availing this series for free, we know it takes hell amount of your time.
Thanks mate.

[VarunSharma-xdxd]

when i saw this playlist for first time i was frustrated but now i am able to grasp the concepts

[ankit]

Thank you sir i don't know about how to find data in other collection by user ID but after watching this video i am clear now...

[iUmerFarooq]

Bohot acha sa samjatha ho.
Make more projects in Nodejs/Expressjs.

Sir please cover JWT Authentication and Local Storage in depth.

[mma-dost]

Great video bhaiya !! Please make more videos asap

[ratishjain]

Best Nodejs series out there and I am not even kidding how good he teaches

[muhammadzahir]

banda cool hay. Zabardast analogies use ki bhai. Happy to find a teacher like you. Wandering why your channel is so underrated.

[sahildhanawade]

my doubt
apne sessionIdToUserMap object me user ki uid or user ki details store ki hai pr ek time ke baad ye server ki bhot memory kha jayega to es object me se hr user ki details ek time ke baad apne aap delete ho jana chahiye

[pabloescobar.exe.]

Hey piyush, can u make videos on styling web pages using tailwind css Or just css, in UI

[rohitghadage]

Sir setting user details in cookies would be done with express-session by default right?

[coolcoder-bhic]

SIr on deployment why user persistence not there ?
means after one time logged in in any device i can generate url in another device also without logged in ?

[imPrathamDev]

First time I see Gravity Falls and Adventure Time crossover

[xoqjhsw]

Alert : these videos are knowledge heavy so please keep focused 🤯🤯🤯🤯😎😎😎

[lucifer.morningstar]

What if we want to pass the data to frontend like react app instead of .ejs views files
How to do it ?

[fearwayesloot]

Bhaiya if middle man proxy use karega he will get our api how we secure
