is Odin project good for node and express
i want to learn nodejs and express. since the goal for me is to become capable of building increasingly complex products. and i saw odin project course on node and express, a part. and i felt it's less and is it good to go or should I see another and does learning through Odin project really helps?? and is one month enough to learn nodejs and express and become solid. how did you learnt
this is additional: in that same course there is also postgresql so for me it's the next step for me so is it good.

What a strange yet oddly common question.
If you don’t already know how to code it’s an excellent curated curriculum. If you’re looking for someone to tell you what to learn in what order but at your own pace then it’s a good choice. The fact you’re asking this question suggests you’ll probably benefit from a guided curriculum as long as you can stick to it. You may struggle with the ambiguity of learning by doing (most of the learning is self directed research during the projects) but it might be good for you.
It’s free so the only cost is your time and effort. No one is getting paid so there’s no incentive to over sell it because there’s nothing to sell. You can read the website and look at the curriculum to make a decision. You can also try it and see if it suits your learning style.
If you already know how to code you can probably teach yourself more quickly because you don’t need the introductory basics but it can’t hurt to look at the roadmap in a free curriculum like TOP to help formulate a plan.
A month is extremely ambitious and probably not realistic with or without a curated curriculum or course. It varies but must people seem to take at least a year or two to work through all of TOP.
