dude ur like the only person in this entire bloody internet who actually explained this properly

[@wesleychigbu7335]

Legendary comment😭😭

[@jrichalot]

As a teacher, I can say this is mindblowingly brilliant! Oh man the effort that gets in producing a seamless and well constructed lesson like this is enormous. A massive thank you from me.

[@beron_the_colossus]

Ahh, it's finally here! Thank you Mr. Shiffman for everything that you do!

[@JoSh-yu6jt]

You are the god of programming tutorials. Your excitement and joy is contagious. If there was a person who could give birth to webDevs it's you. 😁👍🏻

[@brikimbran]

Due to your pavlovian training with the bell, I now smile every time I your videos start Shiff. Excellent as always.

[@sankai91]

if only you'd have started this series about 4 years ago, it would have made my life back then so much easier! Finally got to understand it properly :)

[@user-nl2or1gt6x]

Such a great teacher, not even fully into the series and I can already tell I'm in good hands 👍

[@christopherburke7042]

I am massively appreciative for everything that you are bringing to the table in this course, as well as by way of all the other resources you provide. God bless you man.

[@onurbamaro]

Wow! Amazing the way you explain how the code actually works behind the scene instead of just showing it. That is real teaching! Respect from Brazil!

[@KanagawaMarcos]

One of the best coding channels out there. Amazing video Shiffman, thank you for it!

[@francoisbouchet9907]

i'm sorry, but the n00b in me has to say it loud... so here comes the CAPS: "IT'S BEEN DAAAAAYZ I AM STRUGGLING ON GETTING A SIMPLE API CALL TO JUST WORK AND LITERALLY NOBODY BUT CODING TRAIN TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN & DEMONSTRATE IT IN A PRACTICAL MANNER (..and with such enthusiasm!) ! I FINALLY UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS! ALERT("THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!

[@thomaswilliams495]

I absolutely love your tutorials. I'm astounded by how quickly you cover the information, jumping into code, error fixing, and rambling over so much territory with joy and humor. Math homework has never been this much fun!

[@temzeks]

i always head straight to your videos on any topics i learn, because of the way you explain and energize me. I am literally happy while watching your vids!

[@jamesa.]

Just in case you confused like I was- "rainbow.jpg" is a file on his computer, so you just navigate to an image on your computer too.

[@HossamKhalaf-sr1oo]

Thank you!!!

[@hkar19]

the thing is for me the fetch API cannot load. i just did what was written by Dan. the console said: URL scheme must be "http" or "https" for CORS request.

[@hkar19]

oh ok it is done when i started the live server. i forgot that one

[@laalaajonsen]

but where do we define the path for that file?

[@medilies]

@@laalaajonsen "rainbow.jpeg" is a relative path Liveserver does load all the workspace (project folder ) on the network! So suppose that that the project folder is: Project ( index.html, img[ rainbow.jpeg ] ). Fetch with absolute path is like : "localhost:5500/img/rainbow.jpeg" Or with relative path is like: "Img/rainbow.jpeg"

[@Tads552]

Im showing this playlist to EVERYBODY! Congrats on the effort because this is helping me out a lot!

[@warkentien2]

I finally understood fetch, in a way that I won't forget in 30 minutes. Great video!

[@Xerxes17]

Bro, you are a lifesaver, thank you so much for the well delivered tutorial. You've provided the full context, focused on the function clearly, and chunked up the steps involved in an understandable and logical manner, which is really important for true comprehension.

[@pablovillaverde679]

I am finally able and happy to report that I was able to write code to fetch an array of images and put them in a web page. I was also succesful to fetch the text in a .txt file. I have a good understanding of HTML and CSS and a few weeks of learning Javascript, so my next goal is to construct a web page to display analytic and historic information of Formula 1. There are a couple of API's available that I can use, so wish me luck!

[@amastou4634]

Amazing ! Just discovered this channel because I was looking for how to use fetch and async, I understood all that stuff in this video. Thanks !

[@josepharcher9750]

You are so good at explaining everything! Thank you for the video :)

[@landtechjobs]

This is the type of content that pushes humanity forward. Thank you for empowering others.

[@unclegood]

just came across your youtube videos, you have the most fun and vibrant coding lessons, and a teacher all children should have!

[@softmerit25]

Seriously man. This is the best tutorial training I have ever seen in KZbin so far. I'd love the way you teach, explain and illustrate. You're really doing great stuff. Thanks a lot.

[@colindante5164]

Would you happen to know what does 'img elt' means at the 8:55 mark ?? I've never heard of " ELT " before. Thanks a lot.

[@omkarpabe7780]

where to get the rainbow file from ? where is this server please I am new to this

[@colindante5164]

@@omkarpabe7780 it could be any file off the internet or stored locally. In this case he's using an image off the internet that has the .jpg extension.

[@jorge88824]

Basic concepts explained in an amazing way. Thank you once again for the great content and way of presenting it to the youtubers. You boosted my knowledge more than a whole semester at uni. Stay safe.

[@nate1988]

This is the first video of yours I've stumbled on and it's the best yet to break down fetch() with the added bonus of await/async. I'm a self-taught adult student and it's hard finding a teacher that clicks. Subscribed and looking forward to diving into the rest of your videos.

[@whydoyouneedmyname165]

even adds async/await in first video this guy is the internets end boss. good work.

[@123saltgaming6]

The best possible explanation that is available on KZbin 👍👍

[@lukask6066]

The first time I really understand promises! LIKE!

[@nilsondelaossa4052]

You are my code hero. Nobody explains so easily like you. Choo choo !

[@lollilolli4582]

I like the happy energy you deliver so coding is less depressing :) thank you !

[@bernardsamapoh3619]

Really like your style of teaching. You simplify concepts to the basic.

[@KennieDevCamp]

Your tutorials are super duper awesome Mr. Shiffman. I'm learning and loving your contents. Keep it up

[@axeljorgensen3438]

After like 5 other walkthroughs that left me feeling stupid I'm realizing how poorly almost everyone else explains this stuff. Props to you for being a good teacher. Thank you.

[@arindam-karmakar]

WHY DIDN'T I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL EARLIER! SUBSCRIBED! Thanks for the amazing contents!

[@santiagocuadra1121]

i'm glad to know english, just to say: thank you for all effort put on those videos.

[@brysontai5107]

As I am new in Javascript, but this guy could deliver precise explanation about it. Subscribe is a must !

[@JorgeArias]

This content and tutos are just, GOLD!

[@art0van0derlay]

What a fantastic teacher! Keep up the good work

[@Savefamiliesfromgaza]

I like how he made everything fun, even a person with no programming background can understand his explanation... I wish they taught me this way from the start

[@rotrose7531]

Thank you, this concept is not easy to understand, but you explains it so clear that everybody can understand it now. Thank you for your effort and sharing.

[@tunafish9112]

I love your videos dude, can't wait to go through this series!

[@pysco11]

This is soo informative and well done! I love your enthusiastic voice tone. I can't thank you enough. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@PotatoLover1212]

I love you. I have been searching for an easy way to retrieve an image from API and everyone was converting it into a base64 text. This si much easier, thanks !

[@alperenozkan]

Thanks 🙏 I really like your videos , your energy and the way you explain in front of the whiteboard. I feel like exactly in the class 💫👌

[@iamsachin619]

Man what did we do to deserve a teacher like you❤️

[@hiryuimajin]

I enjoy your videos so much. This is so related to what im building and the way you explain things are very good. You enunciate and even the tempo is a bit faster its not that hard to follow. I appreciate you! 😘

[@devadharshini1122]

i have never enjoyed while learning something. You are soooo good in explaining stuffs.

[@nirajdeshmukh7514]

I just love how he reminds me of my 6th grade teacher, like he literally has that same enthusiasm! Makes me really want to learn JS. Such an awesome job at keeping your viewers attention. I kinda wander off when learning on my own lol

[@vahidsediqi5638]

The best content and teaching method i ever seen. Thanks

[@tiffanygibbel3767]

Thank you for the video! You made it easy to understand. I will try these exercises you suggested at the end of the video.

[@cass_666]

Was coding along and I too kept on mispelling response too! Ahhh! Great tutorial. I enjoyed the challenge at the end which pushed me to make sure I understand how this all works! Looking forward to the rest!

[@matissjudins6272]

ur a god, beem strugling with fetch for a week, its easy to understand u

[@TheCodingTrain]

Glad to hear!

[@trashmoneyyt]

To be honest I'm amazed I was able to do it! I sort of followed along while you were explaining the await and blob concepts but I actually managed to get three rainbow images to display plus the text. Woo!

[@maksim7683]

I just want to say, you are the best.

[@doremon2611]

Thanks man, keep spreading the happiness of coding!
