The professor is super nice and the course is very helpful
Polina S –
It was challenging, but videos (and lecturer) are very easy to follow 🙂
Tamas Z –
Awesome content!
Henri d l H E –
Strongly Recommended
Gregg H –
Excellent course with challenging projects. Teaches essential techniques for MongoDB.
Karl S –
The final project for this one was difficult but within reason, as it should be.
JULIAN A M R –
Excellent clarifying, a lot of concepts are really clear after this course.
Yurchyna O –
Nice course, a lot of new powerful things.
nektarios k –
Excellent course. Very good instructor.
Dana N –
This was informative, but there were some issues with the final project that could have used some more guidance.
Anna S –
This is really quite an advanced course that quickly takes you into making a functional, collaborative app. Very well taught despite the quite quick pace!

Very nice course. Although some of it’s concepts can be applied in other technologies, it’s main focus is on MeteorJS framework.
Mariana d A S –
The course is excellent: modern, practical, and with a number of useful tips.
Khalid M S –
thank you
Chatzatoglou K –
Nice tutorial. Marvelous tutor!
Eduardo M T –
Course is good, the reason I’m giving it a low rating is because it’s a little redundant with course 3 “Introduction to Meteor.js Development”. Some of the features covered in this course I researched on my own to create the final development project in Course 3. So no much value for me here.
Marc T –
I feel this course offered me a solid foundation that helps me manipulate JS and JQuery based scripts on a daily basis.
Matt –
Very promising environment.
Frederic H –
Very good introduction to Meteor. Should be updated to newer Meteor version, lots of things have changed in the official guidelines in the meantime.

Another lovely course from Dr. Matthew Yee King. A gifted instructor indeed.
Jangbahadur P –
Awsome !

A great introduction to the real capacities of meteor.

The previous 3 courses was pretty good, but the assignment is tooooooooo easy, and this course has lot of redundancy, which i think it is not necessary, but overall, i think it is good
Ernesto N S –
Fantastic course! I think there is no simpler way to learn meteor and mongo rather than the way it is in this course. Many thanks for such a great course!
Andreas D –
Great course! It covers many aspects of web development and it is really helpful that you can see a complex application being created line by line. The only issue that kept me from giving 5 stars is the assignments. Frankly, they are too simple! They don’t give you the chance to repeat the techniques shown in the videos and comprehend these complex and for some of us new topics. Many thanks!
Zac B –
Great course. Matthew Yee King is a fantastic instructor and I am learning a lot about what seems to be a really exciting framework!
John L R –
While there ere parts that were tough to follow I think this course definitely hit the mark on learning more about Javascript and MongoDB. I fund the concepts easy to understand as I got closer to the end because the instructor continued to re enforce earlier lessons.

I worked very hard to overcome all of the obstacles in this module and the preceding one (Intro to Meteor). I’ve really enjoyed the format and instructors, but these recent modules feature a spectrum of difficulties brought on by the dated nature of the module, and a sudden disconnect between the practice material and the knowledge expected in the review exercises. Every week was another mess to dig out of without knowing how to dig or being able to find useful resources for the unique issues. Solutions were usually lucked into rather than understood. I’ve been a good sport about putting the work in and taking it as is because it probably reflects some of the challenges of being in the field, but I’ve finally broken why is this course such a neckache? I love it other than the pain, confusion, and random broken parts every week.
Maria J B V –
Excellent course, I like it 🙂
keelia –
manipulate application with multiple users is a really useful technical skills we should get, these courses contain how to add multiple users/documents/comments, that’s really need to learn!
Lucas E S –
Needs an update since meteor.js changed a lot since the course was developed
Joel F –
Excellent!
Roman S –
Great class i learned a lot! thank you!
KIM H P –
Lecture is good!
Heidi C –
Impossible to follow along with this course because it’s outdated and some of the course code is broken. I’ve read and re read through the forums, I’ve watched and re watched the lectures again and again and combed through to try and find a way to get the code to work and to follow along with the lectures but there is no useful help or information to get the code working. Wish I would have known this would happen before trying to do this specialisation as I have now wasted a couple month’s worth of time and money… I cannot recommend that anyone do this course or this specialisation until it has been updated properly. It would actually be nice to get a refund or have a mentor help the students solve the broken code.
Wong P K –
The example demonstrated in the course is quite interesting. The instructor also teaches us how to build the example from scratch. If you have some background in the (PHP) web development and some idea about JS, you can finish the whole course within one week.
Danilo C –
Fantastic course! Thanks, Dr. Yee King!
Moises P –
The course is outdated, I get errors and I can’t figure out how to fix them.
Eleonora R –
Very well explained (really love the teacher!) however some of the functionalities do not work with recent version of the framework, making it very slow and difficult to follow the course through.
Victor W –
exercise made so easy

The content is outdated and the code is actually broken. It uses little known tools rather than industry standards, and these tools have been abandoned even by their authors. ‘ShareJS’ is now ShareDB, and the mizzao:sharejs codemirror module will not function. The course staff is nowhere to be found in the discussion forums, so there is no way to work around these issues. Disappointing considering I had spent time auditing all previous courses in this series, and had nearly got a functioning site up and running from it. Oh well.

Hai Thank you
Carlos L –
Non of the courses teaches you how to host your meteor app nor the limitations of it, I think this is very important and it’s not mentioned anywhere!
Tim j W –
Really well done. I like the pragmatic course materials and the homework was doable in the timeframe given.
Muhammad S –
Lot of thanks to University of London and Coursera for providing this amazing and useful course. Really enjoyed learning. It helped me learn new skills to develop my career and enrich my expertise. Thanks
Itsido C A –
This course is more than building with javascript and mongo, it is a full stack course with precise techniques to design, implement and manage back end and front end services. Thanks to the instructors for such an amazing content.
Randy R –
I found this course in the specialization to be only middling in quality. It’s far too simplistic, given the three courses that precede it. But most of all, there are many examples and quiz questions that are based on the specific versions of Bootstrap and Meteor that were current when the course was created. In the case of the Bootstrap related points, you actually get wrong answers if you reference current Bootstrap. Further, the peer reviewed assignments rely on screenshots, and there is no way to view the screenshots full size. This makes judging most of the assignments next to impossible.
Lazlo M D –
Thank you it is a great material and a great instructor.
Diego A N A –
They need to update the initial files for the assignments and some videos because they don’t match the current version of meteor or compatible and in some cases use outdated packages
