Starter files, final projects and FAQ for my Complete Node.js Bootcamp
Course companion repo for Jonas Schmedtmann's Udemy Node.js bootcamp — starter files and finished code for each section, plus the slides PDF. This is not a library or tool; it exists to let students follow along and compare their work against a reference implementation. If you're not taking that specific course, there's nothing here for you.
The section-by-section snapshots (after-section-06, after-section-08, etc.) are genuinely useful — you can diff your code against a known-good state without wading through git history. The Natours project is a reasonably realistic Express/MongoDB/Pug app covering auth, file upload, geospatial queries, and payments, so students touch real patterns. The slides PDF bundled in the repo means you don't need the video running to review theory.
288MB repo for what is essentially tutorial code — the bundled images bloat every clone with assets that have no instructional value. No tests anywhere across any of the projects, which teaches students that Node apps don't need tests (they do). The config.env files in multiple directories have placeholder secrets checked in, which is a bad habit to model for beginners. And maintaining a dozen near-identical copies of the same project as separate directories instead of git branches means bugs get fixed in one copy and silently left in the others.
