Is the nodeJS course outdated like the angular course?

Node

I was just about to delve into angular and found out that the course is far too outdated. Some of the materail is still outdated like react native. I was wondering if anybody who took the node course thinks that it is outdated also

It’s still relevant i see jobs for node backend developers often. The course itself has a few depreciated lines of code here and there but they have been all updated by the form last i knew. I finished the course and it all works.

I’m actually doing this course right now and didnt have any problems at all until i got to the lecture about updating mongodb with mongoose. there seems to be some breaking change about how id is produced and therefore the database that he wrote and provided and the source code isnt read. just delete his collection and make youre own and everything works just fine.

in addition the mongoose async validators are now promise based not callback based. callback is obsolete.
here’s the code which works;

validate: {
      validator: function (v) {
        return new Promise((resolve) => {
          setTimeout(() => {
            const result = v && v.length > 0;
            resolve(result);
          }, 4000);
        });
      },
      message: "course must have at least one tag",
    },
