I missed the guy who inspires people who are currently on The Odin Project and comes to these excellent videos. So I'm commenting to all the learners, I know it's difficult, but you got this!
@@abdelhakimhamidi-zv4qs Caught up in a 9-5 job, things got difficult so I didn't even write a single line of code in the last 3 months 😢 Will try to get back on track starting from April.
This is incredible, not just the visuals, but the words too e.g. "they start off at with the same width, they grow/shrink at the same RATE, so they end up with equal size"
I've been stuck on a flex exercise in TOP for almost a week now, was searching for solutions and found this video. Half an hour after watching, I completed the exercise almost flawlessly. Thank you good sir.
yup, i think it's not a big stretch to say the naming of these properties was poorly thought out, if most people are struggling to make it intuitive enough after some time of use.
I became discouraged with CSS/Flex/Grid and gave up a few years ago. I absolutely love your content and glad I stumbled upon you as I try and give this another go.
Really excellent video. I find CSS content explaining the underlying mechanics of different rules like this are very lacking. It's mostly just how to achieve a certain style/layout and you have to figure out the mechanics along the way. This type of content is priceless
It doesn't matter how much I think I know about something. Everytime I watch a Kevin Powell video I lean something new! Keep up being our Front-End dude!
I am taking the Meta frontend on coursera and fullstack open by uni of Helsinki but I always refer to TOP to get a deeper knowledge on fundamentals. Thanks for this great content.
Definitely part of the, “been using this for years…didn’t really understand the how”, which absolutely bugs me. I hate not understanding how something works. Honestly to a detriment as I’ve gone through so many resources wasting the most precious resource: time. I’ve been using HTML and CSS a long time, but your videos are really helping me fill-out and polish those skill sets in a productive and efficient manner!
By far the best source of information of any kind when it comes to flexbox. I've been trying to learn it for the last 3 or so weeks and every time I think i start to get it, flex starts going crazy and I become lost again.
My only regret is that for a very long time I have been (badly) using flexbox by sheer trial and error. After watching this video it all finally makes sense!!!! Thank you!
It's thanks to your videos that I am still this invested in learning CSS without being terribly frustrated. Every time there is a mess in my head about something I just look at your videos and I am back on track with clear understanding of the subject! Truly grateful for your help :)
I love your style of explaining how those things works. Most other people just show what you can do, but never touch the subject of why it works or doesn't. Really helps the understanding.
I am about a month into learning HTML and CSS. I just started learning flexbox and this was incredibly useful! This is a whole new big world I am tackling but your channel is really helping to understand things. Thanks for videos!
@@maximocaceres4685 You know for a career choice I did not. Maybe its my old brain, but it was a bit much for me. I decided to into security instead. Best of luck though :)
I remembered the first time I worked with flexbox and I can confidently say, "Random bullshit go!" Really glad you did a deep dive on flexbox as I saw one of your challenge videos you were having a hard time aligning the content items. And shout out for flex-basis, I didn't knew it was a parameter for flex attribute. I was using it without really knowing the magic it truly holds. Now I will go back to sleep Edit: I came back here because I forgot flex-basis existed, I'm getting old af
Hey Kevin, I wanted to thank you directly for this video. I was struggling to understand some concepts of Flex. Currently I'm on my path to become a FS Developer. And you helped me SO MUCH with this one. I can't thank you enough. I'm another Odin Project fellow by the way. Keep these great videos coming!
You're a gentleman and a scholar, good sir. Ive always hated CSS but recently wanted to get back into more of the frontend line of work and deeply understand all the properties and when/how to pick them instead of wildly throwing darts and hoping they would stick. I have to say nothing really made it land as well as your videos. Deepest gratitude. You have a real knack for teaching! 🙏
This was super helpful. I have started a software developer course and have been finding it a bit confusing when it comes to flex. Seems much more straightforward now thanks.
Hey Kevin! I'm starting to learn everything about web development and your channel is helping me out a loooot! I would like to thank you for such an extremely good content. You're really fun while teaching!
"Sometimes it doesn't quite do exactly what we ask"? It ALWAYS does exactly what you ask. But you have to ask for the right thing. Must have been a slip of the tongue, as the meaning of what is said is right. This is a common thing about computers: Always does what you tell it, never what you want. And another good lesson. Thank you master Kevin.
Oh my god, that helped me a lot. Im just beginning my journey and i was stuck on flexbox because i knew how important it is to understand it, now its all clearer. Thanks !
WOW!!!! literally i was building a website and having issue with flexbox, and this video answered the WHY certain things was not happening THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I watched A LOT of videos about flexbox. This is, by far, the best video about flexbox I had ever seen. You explained everything one always wants to know about why everything works the way it does (I'm sure there's more to explain, but this video deserves 5 stars). Thank you very very much, and congratulation on you great channel. I watch this channel a lot.
Kevin out there asks, completely unironically, why his metrics are through the roof this year, and then posts videos like this. That's why. Topic explained clearly, step by step, with examples, and reasoning. What else could you want?
perfect timing on this for me! just finished your playlist with the 3 flexbox videos. i learned more from you in those short videos than a $130 udemy course. hero status.
Hello Kevin, Thanks for your videos, it helps a lot. I have started my journey to learn web development from scratch, since February 2023. Also, If anybody here learning the same way, lets connect guys, It would be great help for everyone if we learn things in a group. I am on the verge of starting to learn Javascript. I hope I will be able to tackle all hurdles in future.
Very insightful... In my experience with flex, I have usually focussed on the parent properties and not the likes of shrink, grow, order, etc that you touched... Thanks...
Thanks a lot Kev, this is Khani from South Africa, I am a graphic design tutor and I was recently given web development to teach, your videos have really been helpful. I am a subscriber and I wish to enroll in one of your courses in the near future.
TOP - Adding my first ever comment on UA-cam, maybe I was saving it for a special moment - here it is - for The Odin Project(TOP) community. It is great to see everyone making progress, at their own pace but moving forward together, best of luck!
This is exactly what I want to hear when I am seeing display flex does its thing! I have been checking but u r the one tells the fundamental abt it! Got me excited to clear a confusion n know in depth!
@@alfonsovieyra9321 yea it’s pretty good. I finished the foundations and now digging into the ruby path. The Odin’s has a lot of external links in their tutorials, most of them are pretty good imo, just sometimes you might feel some contents are duplicate with the others…
@@xiangli8906 Thats great to hear! Glad to know you're still working your way through the curriculum. A lot of people i have messaged on other videos seem to have but given up lol I reckon at this point you'll make it all the way. I'm curious to know what you think has been the most difficult challenge you've faced thus far in the curriculum overall?
@@blueskies3336 the lessons are actually not too hard if you follow the curriculum step by step. Hard part are the projects - there are million ways to do it, but it’s a good opportunity to learn some good ideas from the codes submitted by others.
Thank you so much! I've primarily been a backend developer and my latest project is requiring more front end work. This just solved many of my problems.
how does this video only have 22k likes!??!?! kevin oure tha mastah of the mastah's thanks for all your videos!.... and TOP fellas hang in there and keep grindin!
32:32 do my own thing don't listen to what everyone else is doing, I'm different from my siblings ignore my parent and do what I wanna do. Thanks for the advice, lol.
Thank you for your videos helps me a lot. I also want to say that u really looks like a good guy, geting really positive vibes from you and your videos, which makes it even more fun to learn 😄
Thanks Kevin! Your explanations and examples makes CSS so simple and easy to understand, and I am now actually excited about CSS instead of dreading it. Awesome!!
Very helpful! Had exactly one of the issues you mentioned here some days before. Fixed it, but thanks to this video I hopefully never get this issue again. Thank you. :D
Maaan...! that was Awsome i had never feel confident using FlexBox .. and like You said in the beginning .. I am Feeling Confident Now.. Great Work Keep that Up..!
4:01 I think it would be more accurate to say that by default a flex item wants to shrink to the size of its content along the main flex axis. Because if you were to increase the height of the nav element, the items would fill up that space.
I missed the guy who inspires people who are currently on The Odin Project and comes to these excellent videos.
So I'm commenting to all the learners, I know it's difficult, but you got this!
Aww thats so sad I loved seeing those comments! Thanks for taking that place 👑
