Udemy Course Review
Angular 4 Front To Back
Recently I completed the Angular 4 Front To Back Udemy course, thought by Brad Traversy. I enrolled in the course about 2-3 months ago, but I only recently got into it seriously, as I wanted to complete it before jumping to React. The course is almost nine hours long, broken into 10 distinct sections, with a total of 68 lessons. The first 7 sections cover intro and basic concepts, while the last 3 sections involve implementing what you've learned in two projects. Sections are labeled as follows:
First thing that I liked about the course is the duration; it's not too long nor it is too long. Second, it is oblivious that the instructor is a professional at teaching, no surprise there the guy makes courses/tutorials for a living. Another thing I liked a lot is the spontaneous teaching style; the instructor would occasionally make a typo or something and not edit it out, which in my opinion makes the course look more human a more beginner friendly. If an instructors edits out all of his small mistakes, for me it makes me think that I must be dumb or something for not getting it from the first try. Also watching someone debugging the code makes for an excellent learning experience.
The first project is a single page app called FAQ App. It allows adding a questions and a related answer, also it allows us to show the answer to a questions and to remove/delete both:

| FAQ App |
The second project is a lot bigger and more complex then the first one. The Client Panel project is broken into two parts and it involves using Firebase for the back-end, for authentication and database.
Client Panel project was very fun to do but also very challenging, there were a bunch of components, services, import dependencies etc. While I can't say that I by no means an expert when it comes to Angular 4, now I have a better general understanding on how front end JavaScript frameworks function, also I got a chance to improve my knowledge of ES6 and I found out that there is no reason to be intimidated by TypeScript, it just useful functionality to JavaScript. And it made me switch to VS Code, a decision which I'm not regretting one bit!
To conclude: I've given the course a 5 star rating on Udemy since I learned a lot and enjoyed taking it. I'd recommend it to anyone who's ready to move onto a frond end framework. Especially considering the fact that Udemy often has those crazy sales, when courses can be purchased for $15 or even $10! Thanks for taking the time to read, and here is the fancy cert for the end.
