amazing tutorial, super clear and straight to the point! I really love your structure as well it was insanely easy to follow along! Good job
Really awesome video. I not only learned the basics of how to set up wireframes for iphone, but also your tips and keyboard shorcuts to quickly spin up things. I loved the video!
This was very helpful to me. It's painful getting through some other UA-camr's tutorials, but I like your style. Thank you!
You're very welcome! - Pat
This is super helpful for beginner to follow. Thanks!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
You made it so easy. Like the style with which you presented. keep 'em coming
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching! :) - Pat
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I learnt a lot
am new to figma and I just wanted to create a wire frame for an app. the basics are explained clearly and straight to the point. Thanks a lot
This was super helpful. Thanks!
thanks, this was a really great explanation/use of auto layout. i totally get it now. i was grouping before but this makes so much more sense. Also, you can change the color of the icon in icons8 *before* you add it to your document. unfortunately, you can't change it after, but i suppose you can re-add it if you need to.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
you can change the icon color even for PNGs at the upper right most side of the plugin palette
You have saved me so much time. Super helpful, thank you sir!
Thanks for watching! I'll be sure to let Chris know :) - Iñaki
great video!
Super nice video tutorial!!
Amazing tutorial to get started for us Figma beginners 😊
I’d love to see a Figma to Code video, where designs are made with the intent to generate code for it using a plugin. Bernardo Ferrari’s “Figma to Code” is really great for it, but without a methodology to your Figma process like components or groups versus frames, then it doesn’t work as intended. I think this would be an effective, efficient, and scalable way to learn coding. Or if you want to hire me to do it that works too.
Great suggestion! We might just do a tutorial video on that next time! :) - Pat
very helpful, thank you for well explaining.
You are welcome! - Pat
Thank you for this video. Well simplified and easy to follow. But please i can't find "spacing mode" on my advanced autolayout setting. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or not doing?
Thank you for your video tutorials
And thank you for learnin with us! :) - Pat
Super easy to follow along and a lot of helpful tips about shortcuts and next steps. Thanks for making this video! I’m new to Figma and feel more confident in my ability to use the tool
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for learning with us! - Iñaki

@@CodeWithChris Yes thank you☺
how can i detach instance in latest version of figma
Very nicely done. A good intro to get started. Well spoken and easy to follow along with. Couple of constructive crit's (if you don't mind!):
- have you considered editing some portions? There were a couple instances where you needed to go back and fix a mistake. When following along for the first time, new users may make get confused in the long run process.
- maybe slow down for the first time we're introduced to a new tool, or sub-set menu. There may be times when new users are continually pausing, rewinding, squinting at the screen to see what you did. I know experienced users tend to fly by so fast because the action becomes unconscious. However, with users new to something, it's easy to miss.
- (this one is a personal preference!) no need to see the commentator's face; it is distracting and also masks parts of the screen. Some people may not mind, or even like seeing the face! Everyone is different.
Again, nicely packaged together and an efficient, easy way for newbies to get started. Also, the using of analogies (like the guitar) was a good one, too!
Thank you for the feedbak! We'll keep those in mind :) - Pat
Thank You!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! - Iñaki
Around 21:00 changing the padding moves "Today" for me, but the "menu" and "more" keep staying where they were
I know nothing about Figma, and excited to develop my first web-based application prototype using Figma
But I am not sure, whether I can develop it using Figma as I still cant project how Figma could assist me
Are there any way I can see the demo on the final product / output of web-based apps using Figma?
bro do you kmow to built an OS
Are the IOS Glyph icons found in Icons8 exactly the same (including naming conventions) as those found in SF Symbols app?
Hi Ian! Thanks for watching the video. You may post your question on our CodeCrew forum codecrew.codewithchris.com and have our tech support staff help you. - Pat
Don’t be afraid, just embrace it.
Finally a working method
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! - Pat
As always, everything is super. Waiting for new cheats from your side
Thank you for learning with us! We'll be uploading new lessons soon! :) - Pat
What if you're designing in the landscape position. How do you define the layout in that scenario?
We suggest posting your question on our CodeCrew forum and have our tech support staff help you out. Just visit this link codecrew.codewithchris.com - Pat

Hey Sergio, here you go www.figma.com/file/CLlq2UzMh96j5bFP1Jz03m/%5BResource%5D---Figma-Practice?node-id=5%3A4 - Pat
My best video yet! 👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! - Iñaki
Great teacher. I thought I might design an app on my own, but now I know, while I am sure I "could" based on your tutorial, I definitely do not want to spend my energy navigating those tools; so I can outsource that item. Thank you for this amazing tutorial.
but there is a benefit in it))
Do you need to learn Figma as an iOS developer?
Nice tutorials 😢on it
Stick with it it gets easy over ti
Yup! Just give it time and keep on learning! - Pat

chris, i think xd is better than Figma, what's you thought?
I think it will all depend on your workflow! Figma's collaboration, plugins, community, and features (like Frames, code generation) really help us a lot with our own. Not to mention the fact that it's also browser-based! - JC
@@CodeWithChris thank you
did u learn?
If you have any questions you can post on our CodeCrew forum (codecrew.codewithchris.com) :) - Pat
So we still out here struggling with ourselves or has anyone conquered? Lol
Hey Mark. If you have any questions you can post on our CodeCrew forum (codecrew.codewithchris.com) so our tech support staff can further assist you :) - Pat
I don't think it is necessary to introduce shortcuts for beginners.
Foreal lmfao
You’re not explaining the things you do , you need to explain them to people who doesn’t know
pls bring back chris - this guy says that we dont have to worry about almost every option - well then why are you giving this tutorial?
Hey there! Chris wants to be able to provide diffrent kinds of tutorials for our subscricbers and he's able to do so with the help of our guest teachers who are willing to share their knowledge. :) - Pat
Not one of your team's best videos. this should have been broken out into smaller videos and go a bit slower and deeper into the settings.
Thanks for the feedback! Will let the team know about this. - Pat
possible if you demonstratring or explaining pls avoid reapeating the words cz it makes ppl confuse heheh .
Nah i am a sigma not a figma😂 jk
🦗
that was a amazing class for me as a beginner thankyou @codewithchris hope to see more videos like advance feature
