I would have watched your video if not for the retro effect. It is irritating.

[@Filaxsan]

Oustanding! Looking fw your other courses as well!

[@fartlander]

This is what high value content looks like. Crystal clear, concise and to the point. Much appreciated.

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you ❤❤

[@ishwarsukheja]

Completely 💯 Agree

[@sdbadik]

I completely agree with you, @fartlander

[@irun_mon]

this is so much better than spending a whole day reading flex box in w3school, I'm a visual learner so this helps a lot

[@slayingthedragon]

I'm glad this helped 😁

[@finyx]

Same bro😑 plus, he also give out plenty of tips. I'm glad I came across his channel.

[@shortislife6627]

Dont use w3, better use mdn

[@Troyzhen]

Same!

[@psy237]

u people are no visual learners, you're just lazy... there's a difference ;) but keep up the excuses, we're a society made of excuses, so you'll need it

[@utkarshmayur6344]

I had skipped flexbox and moved onto learning JS; after watching this I realise how much of a peasant I was. Your channel is insane, keep the good work up!

[@slayingthedragon]

Haha I love it, thank you so much !

[@raidgamer3537]

Omg i did the same thing 😅

[@ShineeM3]

Me too, i Just learnt it 😂

[@iamaryasharma]

😂🤣

[@vladrileynavilys]

You peasant!

[@tamarasurnina_renovation]

Thank you so much! your short video helped me understand the topic, that i've studied in IT school for 2 months and still couldn't wrap my head around it, until now! and all in 8 minutes! Brilliant!

[@mailsiraj]

This is the 3rd video I am watching and I am very impressed with how much you convey in such a short time. For the first time, I understand the difference between align-items vs align-content. Your explanation of baseline and align-self were very helpful as I could not understand them after doing other tutorials. Thank you so much.

[@hex_1733]

Beginner in CSS here, I understood how flexbox worked and the properties before, but I just couldn't wrap my head around it when it came to actually using it. This is a really clean refresher, I'll save it to watch when I get confused with flexbox again haha.

[@recep36]

Thank you so much! I'm currently learning CSS and you've put so much content into just 8 minutes. Incredible!

[@dennylekstrom4517]

Just started out with my html and css learningprocess and this is the first video that has given me an intuitive grasp on how to visualize the different elements and how to manipulate them. I really appreciate the no-personal-opinion and non-bias, just straight facts. In short, not so much about you, but the topic at hand. Fantastic content and approach. Much thanks! New subscriber for sure! 😁

[@UndeadSasuke34]

Even though I have worked as a fullstack dev for a couple of years, I never really fully understood the baseline and the align-content, even after research. It's totally absurd how you explained them in a matter of seconds at such high quality. At my company I am responsible for providing frontend learning materials for the interns every year, and this video together with others and for sure a lot of videos you will put out in the future will be the new learning material for the interns, and as well for seasoned developers, as I am spreading the word of your channel through my company and to my friends.

[@slayingthedragon]

Wow thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheOceangirl28]

which is yyrrurr company

[@buzzardb]

I learned everything back in the float era and have been trying to catch up with the times. This is by far the most clear and concise flexbox tutorial ive watched yet.

[@geovaniraffaelli4508]

For someone who previously wrote css with float learning flexbox is like the best day ever

[@mdfarooq97]

Truly amazing explanation, I was always overwhelmed with information on flex, but nothing was as clear as this. This has made flex so easy to understand that can be practically implemented in any real-world scenario. Great job!

[@Maeriii]

Man , your channel came into my recommended like an angel. I have exam Web Development in 3 weeks and so far I been struggling understanding positioning, css grid, etc. Bless you , these tutorials are amazing. I hope to see more videos and tutorials from you! Maybe also lil projects to do!

[@anton9410]

pretty good refresher, keeping the viewer engaged with actual info that flows from one point to another. Keep at it mate!

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you 🙂

[@martinkobimbo8090]

Took a whole day reading about flexbox on various sites and couldn't piece together what was happening, you just explained everything I covered and made me understand everything in 8 minutes 😮. You are the best ❤

[@bhavikyadav2934]

thankyou so much man , your explanations are just amazing, watched your grid and flex box videos and understood both the concepts very clearly, subbed forever

[@SnakesRaven]

Well explained, to the point, no fluff... First tutorial I watch of this channel and I"m already impressed. Good job man!

[@Jakobokun]

This is gold! Been struggling to wrap my head around flexbox but this really helped me to understand it better! Subscribed :)

[@slayingthedragon]

I'm glad I could help ! Thank you ☺️

[@stea27]

All I can say is you nailed it again. In a few minutes you showed the whole thing, with clear instructions. You're doing a much better and useful presentation than most of paid courses and materials.

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@AchyutJagini]

can u share the code of styles.css

[@d0ve-]

honestly thank you so much for this! this was so helpful and i love the way you explain things simply yet effectively. i can't believe you've offered this for free!!

[@kevingleeson]

Best explanation of these concepts. I had difficulty learning them as presented in another class. Thank you so much for putting this up for the world!

[@Channel-zo1zp]

Great explanation. I was totally confused about this and was using the stone-age properties.. i feel confident now

[@jamesfranchino]

Such a good explanation. Simple and no waste of time. A true professional!

[@sebastiangonzales46]

Thank you very much!! Glad I found your channel and I feel like this channel is gonna blow up, the quality is great 🙌

[@Imjustabagel]

Great video! Straight into it, without any bs. Very well explained, thanks a lot! I’ll be coming back to this video often

[@rookie6496]

Sick summary! Loved it, I have always needed align-self, but didn't know it existed. Deserves waaay more views.

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you ☺️

[@afterthelasttime]

Your videos are super informative and concise. I wish you’d make one on everything code related, they really get the point across. I can tell you’re working on it so here’s to many more. 👍

[@slayingthedragon]

Much love ❤️❤️

[@InspiredScience]

Thank you for such a clear, straightforward review that is considerate of the viewer's time. Plus, the *Codepen* link is extremely helpful -- *excellent video!*

[@Jrizy.]

Your videos are incredible man! Very informative, well said and spoken and just overall making things easy to understand! Greatly appreciated1 Please keep videos coming, I have a feeling that you are going to make it big on KZbin if you continue to upload such powerful videos in the category of coding! Thank you! 💙

[@abhavyaverma5101]

This is what I was looking for. Direct and simple explanation. Great Work 😄

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you 😊😊❤❤❤

[@djrmarketing598]

I've been writing HTML since the early 90's (Mosiac days) and never understood the flex layout. Your video helped me understand this way better than I have ever understood. 100% recommended watch. Gone are the days of me trying to do margins and wrapper containers trying to center something horizontally or vertically!

[@slayingthedragon]

I'm really happy to read this ☺️, much love ❤️❤️

[@KelseyOKelley]

Explained very well and concise. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video, it helped me a lot. Thanks!

Absolute content, very informative and straightforward. definitely saved me a whole day to learn basics of flex box in few minutes. Thank you and subscribing.

[@RikThePixel]

I really am liking this kindof analytical format. This guy has nice visuals paired with a pretty streamlined explanation!

Thank you very much ☺️

[@nemeziz_prime]

I cannot express in words how brilliant this tutorial is 👏🏻👌🏻🔥

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you 😁

[@lekhasri308]

This is the best channel for learning css i have ever came across which is time-saving and super understanding. keep going on !

[@shuylife]

I'm doing the Mimo course and certain parts of this didn't really land, particularly the align-items vs align content but this video seriously helped to fill in the gaps. Super concise and now I feel have a much better grasp of flexbox. Thank you!

[@gt8846]

Thank you bro, your teaching is so easy to understand.

[@iMagicGraalOnline]

I would love to see something like this for grid. So much content very well explained in very little time. Awesome content!

I have one for grid :p

[@gregou9885]

Short, straight to the point and still exhautive. Great content, well done and thank you

[@something_OfEverything]

Im so happy that i found your channel, very clear explanation, thank you for that, keep it up !

[@asaduzzamansunam9845]

The way you described how one property unlocks other properties (eg: flex-wrap:wrap; unlocks align-content) just blew my mind. The way you divided flex properties into container and item properties, that was brilliant. Thanks for the clear-cut video. I will recommend your video to my other friends.

[@slayingthedragon]

Holy, I really appreciated reading that, thank you so much 😁

[@thiscris_]

As a senior developer with over 12 years of experience I can say that you are amazing at explaining. I enjoyed this quick refresh. Keep it up!

[@shanoof]

where are from?

[@vojinkarisik1554]

Brother, this is the best tutorial I have ever seen. So simple and straight to the point. Thank you very much, you helped me A LOT!

[@Alexander_Haplington]

Thank you so much! Up to this point I was always confused by flexbox layout and never understood what all those articles were talking about. This was crystal clear for me!

[@Blackoutfor10days]

There's a huge demand of teachers like you 😊

[@bamas_1357]

Our school teacher showed us this video in class, now I am coming back because we have an test on this topic tomorrow :)

[@person81045]

Brooooo. This is a BANGER video. No bs. Just straight to the heart. I love it. Subbed.

[@gauthamnookala1776]

Fantastic video! The align-content was an eye opener for me-- almost like the missing manual for what I was trying to do before watching this.

[@miajowayuyu7273]

love how the most watched moment is where he shows the base styles he said we should "ignore"

[@SuperDarmino]

What if you put flex-grow: 0.9; or 0.8; ? So the 1 or the 0.9 just basically equates to a percentage where 1 means 100% of the space left and 0.9 means 90% etc.? Btw your explanation is really straight to the point and it makes it even easier to comprehend with the added graphics

[@slayingthedragon]

Yes that's exactly how that works, 0.9 or any other number here is a unitless value that represents a fractional value of the remaining space available. I see now though that perhaps I could have explained that part better. I'll pin this comment so that others can see. Thank you ☺!

[@SuperDarmino]

@@slayingthedragon Thank you mate. Looking forward to you future tutorials

[@fizzinsoda]

you didn't do the gap: idk if it was out yet or not, but using gap: 5%; or whatever num you wanna use is pretty nice

[@slayingthedragon]

@@fizzinsoda I did, 4:09 😋

[@trendzonweb8016]

Man!! Your starting was too good!!! & content is apt... superb!! Love the way you explain..

Great video! I'm doing a Front-End Development course from home and this clarifieda few things for me, that the course did not cover. Thanks and keep up the good work!

flex-direction : column ; changes the axis is the best point

[@123arskas]

Please make such concise videos for: 1- Bootstrap 2- Tailwind 3- React 4-MongoDB
