I learned a lot! It was an extensive course that takes a good amount of effort. When you come out on the other side, you feel fantastic about what you learned!

I am stuck with this course as I was working on it when Meta was transitioning from the 10 course react native specialisation to a streamlined 8 course react native specialisation. Now I finished the course but it is not counted as a finished course in the 8 course of react native specialisation. I cannot delete or restart this course because: I already did the course. Meta staff is already ignoring me for 2 weeks as I explain my situation in every forum of every week of this course.

I get no reply. No help. No solution. Nothing, meanwhile I cannot finish the react native specialisation.

Poorly implemented exercises, quizzes, and answers. Good information recap but as it is currently, this course cannot be completed as one of the quizzes has a 1 minute timer. I was able to keep track of answers as they are permutations, and eventually finish it. Keep in mind some of questions have incorrect answers. I'm not sure if the front-end certification has a better JS course, but this one is not good. The forums are also empty, as this class is not transited. And no mobile development is covered. Please save your money until the issues are resolved. Also some quizzes have the most mundane questions (and this is saying something), they essentially ask: Did you get the topic? Yes or No. No mastery is questioned.

There is great content in this course, but the series is plagued by assignment and quiz questions that are incomplete, inconsistent, or wrong. A thorough review of the graded material would move the rating up significantly. As it is, the graded material detracts terribly from the quality of the course.

A lot of test have errors and typos. Sometimes the test wil tell you, you made a mistake and the mistake error says you are correct

They need to fix the tests. They have questions where all 4 options are wrong.

Along with the questions that they just didn't check, a lot of the questions are just bad. Sometimes the options don't mention the most relevant or important piece of information that would answer the question. I think they're worried that you'll be able to Google answers, so they don't want to give a question that would come up early in a search for the topic. It's very frustrating though since it benefits nobody, folks who want to game the test will still game the test. Folks who want to learn don't get relevant information tested and reinforced.

If you need to take this as a part of the Meta Android Developer good luck, hopefully they update it. Otherwise take a better JavaScript class elsewhere.

The quiz and assignment are terrible! There are so many code snippets with syntax errors, and many questions give the wrong answers. I run the code and select the answer which match my output, but I cannot earn the points. This course just want to scam your money, make you longer in the process so they can earn more subscription fee.

This was a pretty robust course! I not only learned the syntax of JavaScript, but how programming paradigms like functional programming and Object Oriented Programming differ. I also learned about another aspect of software engineering — Test-Driven Development. I was aware of the importance of testing code before, but this methodology for developing software has definitely left me curious and eager to try out what I've learned!

the best course so far regarding that this is a course or being an iOS app developer but it was full o useful and powerful into one thing that I din't like is that there are questions that are marked incorrect while they are correct.
