[@filippians413]

Its clear that you love teaching and love programming. It's infectious

[@donnylobree9678]

This is such a clear, excellent explanation of functions, execution context and the the call stack. I understand stuff I never understood before. Thank you!

[@kylelauritzenable]

Agreed, thank you Codesmith!

[@moalemi]

I had never seen something like this before, I wish you had more videos like this on KZbin Will, or if you had a personal channel. Best teaching ever

[@josiahtobas9172]

In my exploration of KZbin, looking for JavaScript 'tuts' that bring a fundamental level of understanding and total clarity this language, to a newbie like myself to so that I can code fluently with no doubts. This video series knocks off every last one of those videos that some may say is at the top. You are a true teacher and have done your homework. Thanks to the folks at "Code Smith".

[@marksimpson4310]

Great teacher, great lesson. Best Javascript theory lecture I've seen on KZbin.

[@Extar49]

The best teachers are the ones who are passionate about the matter which they teach. This is an amazing video

[@Codesmith]

We are happy to hear you enjoyed this one!

[@jayashkumar2006]

wow! it felt like he was jordan peterson for javascript for the articulate way he presented the topic.

[@omiramberodgers-ym4xj]

You explained it best sir, no one has ever shown me this . perfect ,thank you so much !

[@devcrypto1581]

This man is saving many coding students

[@kithowlett8374]

By far the best explanation I have found. I love the passion Will has for JavaScript - watching is a pleasure and so engaging! Thank you for sharing!

[@mentoriii3475]

IKR, you can be an excellent programmer but suck at teaching others, Will has that ability to teach others

[@kubataiupov1245]

Nice video with a concise explanation of great and complex stuff. Many thanks Will.

[@pannihto7588]

Wow, now that's where you want to start. Excellent explanation of the underlying logic. Thank you, sir

[@shyarxelil1987]

Thank you very much!! Well explained! you answered all the question that I had in my mind!

[@sofakingwetalldid2017]

Love these videos, clear and concise.

[@frostyfitz3323]

[@mehinhuseynova1426]

Your teaching style is EXCELLENT!!! Thank you

[@Codesmith]

Thank you Mehin!

[@kim92se64]

you are great !!!! awesome

[@picturecaptions]

I wish I had this when I was learning functions in my C++ class. This is so helpful when it comes to functions!

[@Codesmith]

Thanks Easton - let us know what other topics you'd like

[@darianleduc]

Brilliant teaching method building a sound fundamental knowledge base

[@Codesmith]

Thank you Darian

[@shanaullahkhan1279]

perfectly explained

[@aminubarade]

All I can say is Thank you!!!

[@artihlec]

It's an awesome presentation. One note to add is that the local memory Will is talking about is the same thing as a (local) Lexical environment.

[@AB-cn5hb]

Lexical environment means physical location of code in ur program. Closures uses lexical environment. You can think it as "local" but I am not sure what you are referring here.

[@CarlosWashingtonMercado]

This kind of video is what I need for going through my own understanding (or misunderstanding) of JS. How does this relate to frameworks like Vue, React and Angular? Do they modify any of these concepts in some way?

[@Codesmith]

Glad it was helpful. All these frameworks use Javascript, so under the hood all these principles still apply. That being said, these frameworks (which are just pre-written code in JavaScript that you can copy in and use to perform typical tasks - so you don't have to write the code yourself) can sometimes appear to overwrite the rules of JavaScript (with concepts like $scope in Angular). Angular hasn't really changing the real JavaScript implementation of 'scope', they're creating their own version on top (built in JavaScript) that behaves the way they want it to

[@what-do-you-feel]

Wonderful.

[@Codesmith]

Cheers Konstantin!

[@sergesolkatt]

💛💚

[@cchamorro14]

Is the num- 3 here not getting used then?

[@bebexpink]

yup. i think these are just lines of code so that the instructor can go through them to explain what is actually happening behind the scenes

[@EminTahirov]

Great presentation, but I was barely able to understand and follow along until I set it to .75 speed. I am so glad I am not at an in person lecture because these concepts are so hard to understand and I have to repeat parts of the video multiple times to understand what was being talked about.

[@Codesmith]

Agreed - definitely useful to be able to slow things down to fully grasp the content methodically
