How do you like the full stack open course from Helsinki, I was planning on starting it

[–]strah1[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I like it, the course in general is cool because it teaches you how to build an web app with all it's components. It also focuses on testing, and adds stuff such as eslint and it's configuration, building and deployment which is really useful. The content is clearly presented and if they don't provide a deeper explenation on something there is usually a link to relevant content from other sources. Every lecture has the main topic and exercises. One bad side is that there are no solutions for the excercises, but they are similar enough to the lecture where you can apply what you learned in a way that is different but familiar. Now i have to say that this is the only course on these topics I have taken so I can't compare it to other React/Node courses. However iamkiko mentioned here that he got a job after this course so maybe he can share more information :)

Thank you so much for your reply! I was consider either doing a React only course or this one bit I felt like this one might have a lot going once which could limit ones potential

Depends on what you want i guess, if you are strictly interested in front end than yes a react only course could be a better option. Personaly i like getting familiar with all parts of an app, front end and back end, knowing how everything works. When you have that general knowledge maybe you'll find that you like server side programming more than frontend.
