About the instructor
Ahoy there! I'm Kelvin and I am the lead maintainer of Sails and creator of The Boring JavaScript Stack.
I created The Boring JavaScript Stack with the goal of making it easy to build full-stack JavaScripts apps calmly.
I've been teaching everything I know on the internet since 2018 and I have extensive experience shipping full-stack JavaScript apps with TBJS as both Sailscasts and Hagfish are built with the stack.
