    Hey Chris, i'm a highschool student thats very interested in programming and tech, I tried to learn programming many many times and i stopped many many times, but YOU changed that, you said: "When you feel like you don't want to learn code, thats when you should learn." Absolutely life changing, i'm currently on the path of learning web development, will do CS in college and i will ACE this thing. You're helping our discipline immensely, you're motivating, you're entertaining, I really can't believe i came across this channel. Thank you Chris, you're like an idol to us ❤.

    You are the second person in the past month I've heard say they would learn front end, start in front end and then transition to full stack and I have to say I agree. Specialize in one and slowly learn the other. You bring alot more value to your employer and yourself that way.

    is it okay, to just copy projects, and take people's source code to build on top of it, and modify them as I need/want? Because there is no reason for me to just write something from scratch.
    as a new web dev?.

    Hey Chris , just a random request. Im 21 starting NY coding journey both through personal study , and from school where I'm studying a bachelor's in applied computing technologies.
    I wanted to ask if you could rank the beat free apps or sites for coding. Currently I'm using solo learn, but it'd never been mentioned by anyone so I just wanted an expert take to make the most of this journey.
    Thanks so much for your videos though. Whenever I feel stuck and can't study anymore I watch one of your videos to remotivate myself to keep going.
    Can't honestly thank you enough.

    I am still very much attempting to create a Python application that will convert our Python script close as possible purely into a Javascript code basically making it 1000* times easier to develop Javascript applications. Had been wondering for many years why nobody else has shared quite the Py-To-JS solution, because it should be possible to get it to function beautifully in a matter of a month by somebody who knows both languages quite enough.

I’m currently learning js and I’ve already built a few projects already like temperature converters and things like dark mode toggles but it’d be nice to hear what you think what projects should made be at what level for it and it’s frameworks, maybe even some libraries while you’re at it?
