It was insightful. I recently took over a project that was using a deprecated version of Angular, and I started writing all new code in Vanilla JS, as that was all I had experience with. I never really felt hindered by that decision, and this course has given me the knowledge I needed to introduce routing and binding, and to think more about web components with templates, so I can bring the project to the next level. Thank you, Max! :-)
This course covers an incredible amount of ground. Coming in with little prior knowledge, I still managed to follow along and had plenty of "aha moments," especially around JWT authentication, the Proxy pattern for state management, and how middleware works in Go. But what impressed me most was getting a clear picture of how frontend and backend actually work together: the architecture, the data flow, how an API request travels from a button click all the way to the database and back. Max does a great job explaining not just the "how" but always the "why" behind every decision. We ran into real bugs during the course and debugged them together, which made the learning feel genuine rather than scripted. My notes are filled front to back. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand full stack development from the ground up.
It was a very good tour over all the basic stuff in the SPAs I work with on my daily basis. This course clarified how things work, and even after 10+ years of my experience with Vanilla JS and a few libraries/frameworks, I still learned a lot from it.
This is so good for understanding how to build a full stack app with go and vanilla js

The content is always great! Whenever I see this instructor, I feel the rating could easily be 110%. Highly recommended!

Such a dense and informative course. Learned so much!
