NestJs Course for Beginners - Create a REST API

Learn NestJs by building a CRUD REST API with end-to-end tests using modern web development techniques. NestJs is a rapidly growing node js framework that helps build scalable and maintainable backend applications.

In this course, we build a bookmarks API from scratch using nestJs, docker, postgres, passport js, prisma, pactum and dotenv.

Thank you Beau!
I really enjoyed making this course, I hope that it will be helpful to anyone who wants to learn about NestJs! 😊

Where tf does youtube take me when I fall asleep

[alexlun]

Dude... you're a fantastic teacher. Hands-on approach is the only thing that works for me. The only time I really soak in information is when I apply it in practice. Thank you so much for this easy-to-follow tutorial.

If you're a viewer finding this tutorial hard, don't despair. Many of us have a background in another backend framework (Ruby on Rails in my case) so we are very familiar with many concepts talked here. Just keep practicing until it sticks with you, we were all in your shoes once so you'll get there too.

Fantastic training by building an app while you watch, and explaining why stuff is important, but moving on quickly, such a broad coverage of different libraries and tools. I have watched it several times. This will be important for my new job. Thanks.

[reandov]

Hey man, just finished your tutorial. I am a frontend React developer for almost 2 years, I've been wanting to learn backend development for quite a while and your NestJS tutorial is simply amazing and well taught. Thank you!

[aRTEESTtv]

I listened to around 45 minutes for now, and this seems like a really easy and intuitive way to teach. I read about NestJS and started utilizing it recently, but this video makes my understanding of NestJS really stronger and I appreciate it. You earned yourself another subscriber. :)

[marckraw]

This is totally amazing. All the other tutorials touches only on some very basic stuff, and this is full proof stuff with test and all that! Really amazing job!

[jonathanbecerra]

I just switched from Rust/Axum to TS/NestJS. The developer experience with TS and NestJS is hands down beautiful.

[Beyram]

It is safe to say that I've never watched a better tutorial and I'm not even exaggerating. NestJS is amazing and explained by you seems even more amazing. wow, hope you have a udemy account so I can follow and purchase more of your courses.

[saman]

Everything about this tutorial was more than perfect, the walkthrough, detailed explanation and also the test environment setup, thanks for your hard work, much appreciate it.

[jakeflynn]

I went to sleep a normal man, I woke up as an elite programmer. We are not the same.

[victorbayas]

For Windows users, instead of sleep 1 put node -e \"setTimeout(()=>{}, 1000)\" on your package.json

PD: Thanks Vlad, one of the best courses I've seen 💯

[sunn-e]

If you get stuck somewhere, run `npm run build` from terminal. For eg; ValidationPipe issue.

[TheFern]

This is one of the first fcc videos, that I watch from beginning to end. The instructor was just amazing and I learned tons of tricks along the way. I usually code api's at work with fastapi, but nestjs is a nice weapon for my arsenal. Thank you Vlad!

[vezufyv]

TBH this is the best youtube channel I've ever seen. Keep up the amazing work

[donang]

Spent a long time searching for a good guide on using nestjs with Prisma and gotta say this is an amazing guide that came out at the right time.

[pankajkhushalani]

❤️ NestJS
It makes backend dev so quick and the integrations with SwaggerUI and TypeORM are amazing!

[CorentinClichy]

I rarely post comments, but when I get content like this, I need to!
Thanks a lot for the good work, the explanations are clear and complete. Thanks a lot, it will definitely improve my nest js skill !

[priestwithnobible]

I've already watched half of it and am amazed by how good this video is. Tells you about many possibilities of nestjs and so easy to understand

[nijojoseph]

@1:22:30 for windows users use timeout 1 instead of sleep 1. Thanks.
