Just in time! lol... thanks for your vids

[@danieleduardoperezrossi2767]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@fabspark1631]

update the new vdos in the playlist itself🥺🥺

[@computerhoofd]

Narrators in a lot of other videos sound too enthusiastic for my taste. That's why I love the way this guy explains things. He sounds so bored, and I love it. So soothing.

[@sebastianbriones5413]

He's got a life aside from coding, he doesn't live with cats like some other devs.

[@Jester2b04]

Yea I agree. I like the matter-of-fact way of talking from him, because he sounds like he's done it for so long and seen so much that he sounds chill, calm, and collected; something you get from years of experience.

[@ObieR]

You’re right i love it

[@exspider64]

I feel like I'm back in school

[@yvestrung7387]

I can't realize it before. There's more space for me to listen to what he said, not his emotion

[@SK0R092]

20 minutes ago I couldn't get my head around flex boxes at all and now I feel like I proper understand them. Absolutely brilliant video Flex boxes are actually incredible. will look forward to using them

[@colorspace5541]

Grid is even better, even simpler and even more powerful

[@AshishShinde-vz5rn]

Me too

[@hirbodkhatami9906]

TIP: align-items is for laying items along cross axis and justify-content is for laying items along main axis.

[@hiiamantonio]

Thanks, bro!

[@jackyeelo3705]

Great

[@prakashreddy438]

Thanks for hack

[@ga7853]

Your video is the best on the net for flexbox, thanks a million for all the time you spent to make this simple and clear and many thanks for code.

[@CustomizeDroid]

Best tutorial have ever watched been finding it a bit hard to wrap my head around flexbox and grid model but with this course everything seems so much easier thanks Brad for this insightful video

Really like the way you explain, Brad! Giving details in an understandable manner showing both the code and the result, but also not dragging on for too long repeating obvious things. Thank you!

[@emmanuellucius95]

Been following up on some of your courses lately and... I hardly leave comments but, I've got to say "YOU TEACH SUPER WELL" thanks for the support man! Really enjoy taking your courses

[@JustPerfectDesigns]

This was recorded 4years ago and it still helped solve all my problems with flex box. You’re awesome T 💪

[@aseemlalfakawma5084]

Really informative, can't believe how easy it is to make column layouts now.

[@chrismayes9816]

Super helpful! Thank you very much for this video. Small point if anyone else gets confused at 5:20: author says both align-content and align-items are for the cross axis. I think this is right for items, but content is for the main axis!

[@yupkeetoki]

I really like the way you explain each flex property. In other videos, they just go through things so quickly that I find myself lost most of the time. Thanks for showing examples of how each of the properties function!

[@spaghetticode3107]

"Thay may be very well be the only thing you want to do, and that's fine." Iove that one line so much

[@livetolearnandlearntosucce2861]

Hi Traversy Media you are the only man i like in explaining things in css, java, html, etc. I have been learning for about six month. But with your video and tutorials i get lots of improvement because you are practical. This is why i love you the most. When others explain i have not much improvement cause i dont know why, they are so advance or just not practical like you. You channel help me lots. Thanks to you and GOD BLESS YOU.

[@KalinaVel0505]

You have a talent for explaining things. Love the organized way you explain everything! Rarely have I watched a tutorial with such quality.

[@Dimlutube]

This made more sense than any other tutorial I've watched on flexbox. You really are an amazing instructor Brad.

[@00el04]

i always go back to this video for a refresher :)

[@mda4455]

Good tutorials as always, Thanks Brad.

[@TraversyMedia]

Thanks man

[@mrkmed7050]

where were you all these years ? So simple and elegant explaining style

[@ChristopherCorvo]

This was extremely helpful. I think it was one of the better videos I've seen on the subject. Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@jigsaw009]

Hi Brad, it is really a top-notch tutorial. In the meantime, I really love to learn universal rendering using React and Node. Wish you could produce this kinda course in the near future. You are indeed an excellent instructor on KZbin :)

[@kieran2347]

Thanks Brad. Your tutorials look easy compared to others. It's just hard to remember all of it, especially when you just start learning alongside JS

[@matthewr6940]

Thank you. Creating these videos and taking the time to help has made a tremendous impact on my developing career.

[@josephgarza5973]

Thank you for the quick crash course video. I thought it was rather helpful to be honest and I appreciate you taking your time to make it. Well done, Sir!

[@harshilgarg846]

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much for this tutorial. I've been struggling for FlexBox for a long time, and then I finally took some time to search up some basic tutorials, and your video cleared up so much for me.

[@mammaknullaren88]

I just want to say that I have seen so many tutorials on flexbox but never fully understood it until I saw your video! Much love from Sweden! Keep up the good work :)

Nice! I'd like to make a request if it's not too much to ask. Could you do a tutorial on creating a website for a fictional client? I would love to see what the process is like. Frontend, and Backend with node.js?

[@JamesQQuick]

That's a great idea. Would love to see that as well!

[@moca3417]

[@kolyxix]

I am going though my free-code camp project (web design), and I just came across your video at the right time. This is extremely helpful.

[@selfsage1]

thank you for the tutorial..

[@mccama19]

Thank you so much! This really helped me to visualize how flex box works. The text book I'm using to learn web dev had us apply flex box as one of the last steps in creating a website. It seems like it would be much easier to apply flex box at the beginning and add in the content of the website after all the boxes are properly arranged. Should flex box be applied at the beginning or end of a project?

[@susanrose9056]

I find flexbos so incredibly confusing by other instructors. Thanks once again Brad for making this straightforward and easy to understand!

[@eriseasyeats5473]

Thank you so much for this video. I was struggling to understand the concepts just from reading them, so seeing this in real-time has been a huge help.

Oh I guess everyone should have everything they learn memorized. If not then you must be a fake developer. Or is this just a really nice, quick tutorial for anyone to refresh upon? Get off his nuts

[@centori2011]

Thank you for doing what you do. Your one of the best instructors of web technologies amongst many, you've been a great help I must say.

[@ernest1520]

Your videos are awesome. I was mainly back-end guy and following your tutorials helped me a lot in learning front-end.

[@christyguy59]

Thank you, man! I think I'll soon owe my career to you.

[@Methgaard]

Great tutorial, I'm convinced to leave Bootstrap behind and use Flexbox!

[@SVJY15]

LOL good idea !!

[@jefjef418]

now bootstrap 4 uses flexbox, there is no scape.

[@codethebeast975]

You will definitely kick off the bootstrap from your computer if you ever watch one video on css grid this thing is savage man.

[@Codificando]

If you just use the bootstrap Grid System it's better. But, in my case for example, I like the way bootstrap 4 looks, so I use it in my web systems.

[@TAKUMEI]

Thanks for uploading this, been looking for a clear explanation on Flexbox, your videos are so dope.

[@philly_Will]

Thanks again - Another great tutorial - I typed out the code with explaining comments as I watched. That's the only way I can thoroughly absorb and understand it. 3 weeks ago I knew nothing about html or css - after your short tutorials I am creating a professional website for our Knights of Columbus Council - THANK YOU!

Awesome stuff.I'd earlier on gone through w3 schools content and this is just Top notch application of what I learnt.Thank you Brad

[@sourandbitter3062]

I struggled for an hour on a simple navbar and got the idea to make it using flexbox. That was childs play. Thanks for the great explanation.

[@PezhvakIMV]

flex-basis is not a more flexy way of using width property, it's different. if you use width property and browser size goes less than that, a horizontal scroll bar will be shown on the other hand if you use flex-basis, that flex-item will resize (shrink) in favor of browser width

[@digbick9769]

You sure? I thought that when you use width on flex-items, they can also shrink.

[@Mhytron]

Just commenting so the algorithm shows this video first

[@blackmouthblackface]

Hey Brad, you have a gift with explaining content. Keep up the great work!

exactly my thoughts!

@Calin Belut that is why browser prefix is a thing
