Our Verdict
This Beyond Basics course on modern JavaScript application construction through renowned tools like Webpack and Babel is an excellent fit for learners with prior foundational knowledge. The challenging pacing necessitates a certain level of mastery before embarking upon this journey, but those adept at grappling with advanced concepts will immensely benefit from its project-centric approach, thorough exploration of cutting-edge features in Webpack 4 and an array of integrated frameworks such as React, Angular & Vue JS. Nevertheless, some reviewers faced troubles aligning provided codes across different sections and GitHub branches, as well as dealing with slight variances amid lessons and actual code demonstrations - issues which can be mitigated by thorough review.
