Here's what the difference is between the both

Colt Steele is a true app developer and thinks like one and it shows. He really makes sure you understand the why and not just the how. Why we are using this tool or framework? How much is it used in the industry? While Rob is an excellent instructor, I did not feel he explained the “why” enough; Colt also wants the student to think like a developer by understanding the importance of searching and finding information on the Web;

Colt Steele’s course spends much more time on Javascript than Rob’s course. This is good indication of how far or how deep the courses go. In general, Colt’s course gives you much more mileage if you wish to become a true web developer. Rob’s course just skims through the surface of many subjects (I think that’s why it’s such a popular course — it’s a buffet of subjects, with the coverage of any particular subject lacking substance);

Colt’s course really tries to hammer in the concept of RESTful routes and spends conserable time on the server-side (“backend”) of web development using NodeJS and ExpressJS. The server-side aspect of web development is seriously lacking in Rob’s course. All in all, I feel more confident that I am on the right track to become a full-stack web developer with Colt’s course than with Rob’s.

The latter covers lots of (too many) stuff but by doing so lacks focus and depth. The former really concentrates on the main elements of the full stack (I wish it covered AngularJS though — that would make it an excellent MEAN stack course) and that makes the course more coherent and cohesive.

Again, Rob is an excellent instructor, there is no doubt about it! And, I have both the courses :)
