I was taking a DevOps prerequisite course and just finished the Node.js section. The labs were terrible—the questions and answers were completely unrelated. There was no mention of installing packages, yet I had to find dependencies with options that didn’t match anything in the terminal. At first, one of the options was completely blank, and when I selected all of them, the page loaded again. This time, it finally showed me the correct option. It took me 15 minutes to complete this, and I’m very disappointed.
The section is intended to teach you only how to install and use a nodejs application. For that purpose, the labs are adequate, and the lectures cover what you need for the labs. But this is just a simple introduction to the subject. To really learn what you’re looking for, you need to do a course about developing nodejs applications. But that’s well beyond the scope of this very introductory course.
