Don’t buy if you’re new to js.
The title of the course is misleading. It's a starter course for intermediate to proficient js coders. And in that case, it's a fast introduction. Good to get started, but not more. Also, the course is a bit old. The course files on GitHub need a small revision as the webpack and Babel part is outdated. There is no support from the instructor at all. Probably because, as mentioned several times in questions and comments, the course is part of a longer course cycle on another platform.
Nevertheless, the course is well explained, and Zak is an engaging orator. It’s also a good introduction to making components in vanilla js for the WP Rest API. The code is well structured and clear.

Good course but goes too fast to be considered a COMPLETE beginners course. Will have to spend time going over the code to truly understand what was taught. The instructor encourages you to get a lot of practice, and I think its necessary.
