Really awesome course, nothing less than five stars! From backend to frontend, detailed unit/integration testing, serving up the asset pipeline, getting comfortable with git, angular.js, 3rd party intergrations, data base queries (in both sql and no sql), caching, authentication/authorization... etc etc. I can't begin to think how much effort Jim put into developing this course. Very detailed, and covers so much content. What a perfect end to the RoR specialization. I must say, the course was a lot of work, but by the end of it, having gone through all of the assignments ( the assignments were very good exercises for solidifying course material). I really feel like I got some seriously solid exposure to the full stack. And to be honest, even though angular.js 1.5 is getting 'old' now, and RoR is perhaps less popular than node.js, I still highly highly recommend this course and the specialization, as it will take you from zero to hero on full stack web development. All of the concepts will transfer over. A solid bedrock to ever growing software frameworks and technology.

Very challenging. I learned a lot.

Great course

Perfect course! I tried but i can not find any flaws! Professor Stafford is an excellent teacher. I expected a lot from this course and it fulfilled all my expectations. I really liked the way the materials were introduced and the exercises were really relevant on each topic and module and they were a bit challenging but on a normal difficulty. I also liked that Professor Stafford worked a lot with testing and automated testing is something really important to test your code. Also testing worked here as a TODO list which i found that approach really useful. I also liked that some techniques introduced on the course can be used for other programming languages or projects also. There was also a good summary of AngularJS, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB and things that were introduced on the other courses. Just Perfect! I really learned many things. Thank you very much!

Excellent course. Mr. Stafford is a very good teacher.

As this is the final course of the entire specialization, I expected a lot about the content and related videos regarding lectures and projects. It didn't disappoint me. Congratulation to Jim for making it a great learning experience and giving me additional tools to pursue my goals of being a better Rails developer.

Great Course Jim has really thought me more than enough to get my career started. All a student has to do is just study.
