I really liked the way that it starts with the basics and builds. As someone with no experience in JavaScript, it really showed me that it's not so intimidating as I originally thought.

I've bought a lot of courses over the years on Udemy. This one is memorable and is up there with the very best of others I have taken and enjoyed. What's good about it? The projects is fun. A classic space invaders shooter. You'll work on prototypal javascript and this will hopefully demystify some of the language’s ‘magic’ found in modern frameworks and so on. What could be better? 1) I see some people complain about the instructors accent, yes it IS quite a pronounced accent and some words require an adjustment of your ear but you get used to it quick enough. 2) The sample code shown is also on lens longer than the screen (instructor does split screen with browser meaning you can’t always see all of the code, (should add prettier plug and format on paste/save really) 3) When running dev tools on the app he’ll use them in horizontal split mode again meaning you can’t see action on the browser (vertical split would have solved this) 4) small code inefficiencies such as if(booleanVariable == true) instead of concise if(booleanVariable) { …} So there are some presentational issues that cold be polished, however it remains an excellent course and one I highly enjoyed. If the instructor was making a course with more difficult games in a similar vein I would buy the course. A little more post production spit & polish and it would be 5 stars. Will follow instructors other javascript/games output.
