It's really nice for someone not knowing programming at all, few tasks are really fun, the boots is alright to talk about task and solution, but going deeper asking about tradeoffs not so much. 4/5

end parts were a little rushed/without context as to where exactly to use them

I would recommend this course to someone who wants to learn TypeScript. It does genuinely get frustrating at the end so prepare yourself. I had exposure to TS before taking this course but was shaky on a few concepts, and now I feel much more confident with it. It was time well spent.

Always wanted to learning coding but some course failed to explain certain things like for loops and dictionaries, making it hard to learn. Boot.Dev did not fail me in this regard ! Side note; I love how you are able to learn at your pace, no need to burn out.

It is incredibly easy to learn with the terminology. And the AI bot does help a lot and make you think since it doesnt just tell you the answer.

Some folks look at the job data and assume that front-end positions are the only option for new learners. On the contrary, there is big demand for backend and data-oriented positions!
If you like working with data, logic, and servers, you might just enjoy the back-end, data-focused curriculum here on Boot.dev. And similar to the frontend, most data and backend positions don't require a specific degree from a university... but you do need to know your stuff!
