You condensed 2 days of searching into a 30 minute video. Great job!

[@umedina98]

Wow this video opened my eyes. I finally could understand what conda really is and not just install it mechanically. Thank you so much!

[@grantgiesbrecht2236]

I've heard so many people talk about how to use Anaconda but nobody has actually taken the time to describe why it's set up the way it is, and actually talk about a little theory. Really great job.

[@deegraham1973]

Your explanation of theory followed by a demonstration of what happens in the file structure makes this a really awesome learning video. Thank you Max.

[@kipngenowayne1349]

This guy is awesome, he explained everything in detail. Thanks dude.

[@CalCalCal6996]

This was exactly what i was looking for, thanks so much!!!

[@supplychainsys]

Max, Everything about your presentation was awesome. The speed, the delivery, the supporting slides, depth & explanations, clarity, content, flow and organization. Thank you very much for the effort that you put into this presentation. It was perfect. With this background information I now have a much clearer understanding about how to navigate Conda, Environments, Packages, Channels, Python.

[@casekaiser1867]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can offer me

[@casekaiser1867]

@Ayaan Grant thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@casekaiser1867]

@Ayaan Grant it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@ayaangrant4948]

You explained it better than two other youtube channels I looked at. Had to click Subscribe.

[@academind]

Thanks so much for your support Miguel!

[@ssigitas69]

I don't know what to say...Just simple perfect video 👍👍👍👍 Finally I started to understand something why and how to use Anaconda. For my Python learning I'm using Pycharm, and Pycharm creating venv itself, of course it is more easy than Conda, but I heard Anconda and Jupyter much more better for data science, so I'm wondering now about Anaconda enviroment. I would to see how to install full Anaconda with GUI and what to choose in package list. Thanks one more time and I start to subscribe you.

[@burakaltunel7325]

Brilliant explanation. Thank you so much
