Not only did he explain the flex properties in detail, but he also showed how to apply them to a real-world example. Amazing video!

[@johnryder8464]

[@Ts-yy2jn]

I learned flexbox from your previous crash course about flexbox years ago but still its so relaxing and enjoyable watching this new crash course from you Brad 😁❤️

[@virtualbrian]

Brad, Im sure that you've heard this before but, you've got a gift for teaching. Well done and thank you! Some little pieces that I was confused by with Flexbox are no longer confusing. Thanks!

[@ramasoft5110]

I was just looking up css again after a long time and always struggled with flexbox and making my sites responsives... and then traversy just drops this video right on my lap! Perfect!!

[@shortygordy]

Just watched this tutorial and followed along on my own for some self-learning. I really appreciate you taking the time to walk-through and help us learn, man!! Thank you!

[@adamdixon5028]

Amazing work! This is the first tutorial that I’ve actually been able to follow along with and understand. Thank you

[@jamesekene2152]

Brad, thanks for always taking time to make things easy for us developers. I really appreciate all you do.

[@juanpablocl1]

I discovered your channel recently and I feel like I really need to thank you for the super VALUE, explanations, examples, etc. you are sharing for FREE. Thanks and keep up the good work! Hope you are doing terrific!

[@AnthonyLepki]

Your videos are so timely ... the fact you are re-visiting ones done before is excellent - thanks Brad!

[@__greg__]

I've been pretty 'trial and error' with flexbox the past few years, and this is lesson has by far been the best for improving my understanding of what it's actually doing. Much thanks! 🙏🏽

[@Lorta21]

Very grateful for all of your content and resources you've put out here for web dev, and how easy and straight-forward it is to follow. Thank you Brad

[@evyan7234]

I’m so grateful for this video. The amount of hours I spent trying to fix alignment with float. This lesson is gold for a perfectly optimised layout ❤️

[@christellemeyer8541]

Thank you so much for this video, this is the most comprehensive one I have seen so far. You made it look so effortless. It was easy to follow, and I appreciate the fact that you did not stop the tutorial right after "flexing" the divs.

[@Wesleyendlich]

Awesome course, as always. Thanks a lot for the high quality free content.

[@jimhenegan709]

Thanks Brad. I have been relying on Materialize for my CSS needs, but I have been wanting to learn Flexbox for a while now. This is just what I needed!

[@i.d.1988]

Love your YT tutorials and Udemy courses. The combination of your explanation plus hands-on implementation is phenomenal. Makes me fully understand the subject that you tackle and also gives me a solid basis to further investigate on my own. You are helping a lot of developers who just started and also mediors who just wants to brush up their skills. Thank you for that 🙏

[@mobeenrajpoot5315]

This is what i was looking for. Briefly explained with a full fledged responsive project. I really appreciate that.

[@tristanyates9915]

Your videos are excellent and a very easy & efficient way to learn and I very much appreciate the work that you put into them!

[@rodblues6832]

You are a fantastic teacher, I can't tell you how much this video has helped me. I was on the verge of despair in my bootcamp with flex, but this video has shed so much light. This is reference I can return to again and again. Thank you!

[@kaseyknudsen1307]

Fantastic Tutorial!! Learned a ton. Thank you! 🙏🙏

[@jstinmv6228]

Thanks so much! The last couple days I have been completely lost learning flex. I watched videos, read tons of content, and did a bunch of assignment with the course I am doing to ultimately go to bed last night totally discouraged. I found this video and started to watch and I had the lightbulb moment. It felt so good. Also, thanks so much for building the site to see how this is all applied. I have been wondering how all this is out together once we learn all these concepts. This video was great man. I subscribed to you and will definitely keep watching you from now on. Thanks again.

[@danielafolayan966]

Thank you so much Brad, web I started out with web dev I want to do more backend than frontend but your courses made me realise I actually love frontend more. Your courses are very comprehensive. I finished the css, html, and flex box course in two weeks and now I'm working on my own project.

[@mella.i.7464]

I really appreciate that you are doing these videos. You can't imagine how helpful they are. Your explanations are always clear and straight to the point. You are a great teacher! Thank you, you've helped me (and not only) a lot!

[@Digitized_NV]

Absolutely the best! I was looking for some Flexbox 101 and this was exactly what I needed to watch. Now I have a clearer understanding of how it all works and how I can keep tinkering to get it to do what I want. Thanks so much

[@StrengthFromGiving]

I love these crash courses, I'm working hard to get better at my CSS and this is just so refreshing to see what can be done with some study and practice. Thanks again!

[@banyarnaing2597]

Brad is really making this year better and better. Thank you.

[@AlTushman]

Thank you, Brad. Your videos are the best. And thank you for making the code easy to locate when necessary.

[@imadalnajjar8251]

I don't think there will be any tutorial like this one; it is organized to keep the information in memory for an extended time. I always open Brad's channel to get any answer, and I almost bought all his Udemy courses; he teaches any subject professionally. Thanks again, Brad.

[@AliSiHosseini]

Your approach to describing, explaining, coaching, and teaching flexbox surpasses that of any other international instructor I've encountered. Your expertise and guidance are truly exceptional, making you a genuine GOAT. Consequently, I have added you to my regular watch list.

[@techsamurai11]

Amazing video. First you explained everything in a very clear manner, then you applied everything you taught in building a page starting with the html page and then moving on to the css which is really impressive. I really appreciated the tiny tricks like changing the line-height on the H1, using the section and header html tags, centering text on a mobile (it looks better), using Emmet. I wish you did an extension showing how Flex works in Bootstrap and how to apply it.

[@MRAMetharam]

Definitely the best flexbox tutorial I've seen! The practical application was long but definitely worth the time!!! Awesome!

[@zappingstar]

VERY helpful! I feel like I've been fighting with flex for weeks now and I feel WAY better after this video! Thanks!!

[@monirhq]

Easy to follow and clean concept as always. Thanks man

[@thomasnarvestad6226]

Thank you so much man! Really helpful in the course im taking this spring. Relaxed and perfect speed of vocie with easy and in depth explanation. Love it. Keep up the good work!

[@mykalimba]

38:50 would be the perfect time to introduce "gap" property, which is supported in flexbox by most of the major browsers.

[@techtycho4752]

I totally agree. I was once attempting to create a 3 box layout (like the one in this website, the blue boxes). I used flexbox but I really didn't know much about it because I watched Brad's five-year-old tutorial (the old one) and I didn't know that there was a new one, and he really didn't cover as much. I wanted to have the boxes have the same space in-between; that's because I just used a constant width, and not something like "flex: 1". So I just wrote tons and tons of media queries for every possible screen size, and every time, I just changed the width of the boxes. my bad. I knew I was doing something wrong and there is no way this could be the way to do it. When I finished, the layout still looked like shit; it wasn't smooth, instead, it was sluggish and very bad looking when I resized the browser. That's when I discovered the gap property.. And when I watched this video, I just realized that there was a million ways to do it, but I just didn't have the CSS knowledge that I have now. Pretty surprised how he didn't mention it though. ya know it is a 1 hour crash course about a single topic in CSS.

[@khoroshoigra8388]

yeah

[@chrisbartolomei]

Awesome stuff, love these interactive tutorials. Thanks Brad.

[@roving-camera_72]

Easy to follow, very thorough intro to Flexbox. Thank you so much for all the work you do to share the skills you've learned.

[@thigarette1]

This crash course came through clutch for me. Thank you Brad!

[@Anchor001]

Your explanation is Gold Brad. God bless you. I started researching on flexbox two days ago and as from today, I can teach it to someone. Thanks to your explanation and exercise at the end. I am relatively new in coding (2 months) but my journey is swift. Thanks a lot for your content.

[@alexandersmotrikov9007]

Perfect content for Flex refreshment and to learn if new with it! Thanks, Brad!

[@ToumaRenshi]

Thank you for a great course. I feel I am gotta better and better at coding in CSS after watching this video. It was the most one smooth and best explanation how the flexbox works! I would love to see a "GRID Crash Course 2022". Greeting from Poland! :)

[@raaghavendrahm4883]

So good to brush up flexbox with this video! I first learnt it with your previous flexbox crash course! Thanks a lot, Brad! This video is great.

Nobody can explain flexbox like this dude does. Great tutorial 👍🏻

[@kristonburnstein]

New subscriber here and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this content! It was so helpful to code along here and it's so thoughtful when you stop and say, "now you may ask why . . . " and go on to answer potential questions. On point! Thank you, I'll be back often!!

[@tironxxx]

A great work. Thank you for explaining how it works and how to use it!

[@aft7059]

You have taught me so much about flexbox in 45 minutes compared to the 3 hours I sat listening to my professor. Massive thank you.

[@sreedhar7896]

Great and clean explanation. Thank you for your efforts

[@jarednordhues6399]

Love your videos. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@tonykelly9469]

Awesome presentation as always Brad, thank you very much.

[@VIBrunazo]

"Grid for the overall layout, and Flexbox for the items inside it" That's a great rule of thumb for combining the 2. I do the same thing! Another one "if you're using too many fixed width items on your FlexBox, you probably should be using Grid"

[@godstimenwabue4394]

It possible to combine the two

[@godstimenwabue4394]

Asking if it possible

[@deadbunnyeyes190]

Really good tutorial! Got me smiling all throughout the video, especially the last part.

[@chrissbateur4350]
