Stripe Masterclass With React.js & Node.js

Good Course, But I was also expecting the Subscription Related Payment APIs

Create react app is deprecated. Watching someone debug their react instead of using stripe is a pretty big distraction from the main purpose of the course. There is a reason I don't use react. People tend to struggle with it more than do something productive with it. So the instructor shouldn't feel bad that they are getting distracted with debugging. But it also shouldn't make the edit. I'm following along with mostly vanilla plus a semi-framework I've built. I'm making about one edit per his five and getting the same result. That's not his fault because people do want to learn react. But I wish I didn't have to watch debugging as well. Now I'm watching 10x the content per thing I need to do.

In the end, everything works. However, the instructor's explanations are shallow at best where they should be detailed and excessive where none is needed, whereby he often uses the term he's trying to explain in order to explain it, not to speak of the usual redundancies, like "what we're going to do now is we're going to …", "export out", "import in", and such, which is simply annoying, since programmers and developers should be the first to avoid redundancy. The instructor's manner of working and presenting is often very confusing, because he often produces silly typos, leaves out lines of code which – even to total beginners – are obviously needed and their variable naming is infuriatingly imprecise and inconsequent, making it outright annoying to follow at times, because he even gets confused himself, when, for example, ignoring conventions to name hook function results appropriately. As I said, the instructor gets the work done, but at least two thirds of the course are filled by writing bad React code, instead of actually teaching how to work with Stripe. I'm glad I got this course cheap, otherwise I would have wanted my money back.

Took the course to get a better insight on how to implement stripe more then anything else. React section cemented what i already learned from other courses. Would of prefered the course to had used mongodb instead of firefox but that would of prolly made the course an extra 5-6hrs long. Unexpectedly learned more about firebase so that was a bonus.
