[@_shuu9472]

To me he's the best tutor i've ever found on the internet

[@Wesley-Insley-Comedy]

WDS is so nice. no "WHATS UP GUYS AND TODAAY WE ARE LEARNINGGG" - nope. Just a nice, calm, easy to listen to voice and concise and succinct explanations. six months ago I didn't know the difference between the different css selectors and now I am comfortable with react & have started working with firebase. MOST of that came knowledge came from this channel. Couldn't be more grateful. Thanks dude!

[@WebDevSimplified]

I'm so glad I could help!

[@sanghvian]

It's just unreal how amazing you are at teaching new concepts as well as making us rethink learnt ones with a fresh and novel direction. Thanks a lot !!!

[@maxathanja]

Wow, this is just what I need at the moment. You’re a lifesaver, thanks!

[@dsvhs93]

Look at that fresh fade! Thanks Kyle for the lesson! Will have to watch this a little later on! But I already know it’s awesome!

[@gettingComputey]

I've seen a lot of event listener tutorials and this one is best explained. Thank you!

[@quentina.3021]

Man, you are an awesome teacher! Best explanation/tutorial of event listeners I’ve ever seen.

[@valeriatapia1128]

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND event listeners!! Thanks Kyle!! You're a life saver!

[@sapindersingh1165]

I rarely like a video on youtube and this one deserves it. These 18 minutes just leveled up my knowledge about event listeners. Thanks Kyle!

[@pavkey88]

Not only is this a great tutorial on event listeners, it’s also a great way to approach learning how to debug

[@theomegamale5335]

Already knew this stuff, but definitely a great video for those newer to events in js and i still enjoyed watching regardless. Keep up the good work!

[@ChrispyChris3]

The way dude talks super chill and laid back, while not being monotone, AND explaining things well is pretty amazing!

[@reaperforever8478]

This has made my day , I have been working on a routine app to better schedule my classes , in vanilla js with ejs as a templating engine , used a event listener to attach to a modal for picking the time but I needed some way to delete the event listener after I'm done otherwise it would change all the dates at once , this has saved soo much time

[@angelsunshine885]

You Sir, my FANTASTIC teacher! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing such valuable and well-explained content!

[@oortcloud210]

Been coding in JS for 25 years and didn't know about doing a matches call on an event object. It's why I look at videos like this now and then. To refresh and also because you are always learning something new!

[@michaeljohnson1576]

Hey there, Web Dev Simplified! I just wanted to say that your video on avoiding getting stuck on JavaScript by doing simple things really helped me. Since then, I have attempted to change the way I study JavaScript and while I can't say that I'm striding, I'm definitely moving at a faster pace. I hope you realize just how much you mean to us! Like seriously, your calm mentoring demeanor alone makes these lessons so much more watchable. Thanks a ton!

[@chandrakant6283]

I've been struggling to understand Delegation & Event Flow, but thanx to this guy now I've understood it well and likely will never forget.

[@bmehder]

I never knew how much I didn't know about event listeners. Excellent tut as usual.

[@y-yyy]

So clear, pleasant to listen to and to the point. You're a legend, thank you!

[@lucianasuciu4798]

You're my favorite professor :))) Your videos are amazing , i learned a lot . Thank you so much for your work !

[@davidrowlands8962]

I had understood bubbling since we commonly deal with it, but never really got my head around capturing until this video. Now I understand the third argument in the event parameters. This video has made it crystal clear to me. Thanks very much.

[@richardramirez5746]

It's really useful to watch your videos. You keep the same calmed speaking.. I appreciate that!

[@PunkSage]

Excellent explanation. I think that a difference between stopPropagation vs stopImmediatePropagation was also worth mentioning.

[@mayankstylerock]

The best video of Js and u truly do justice with your channel name "Simplified". Thanks for your hard work man

[@mrbjjackson]

Dude this helped clarify all my confusion about events so well. Thanks.

[@parmeetsingh9766]

Clean . Crisp . To the point . Hands down , thank god it was the first tutorial i saw

[@Pareshbpatel]

Listen up! - This is, by far , the best tutorial on event listeners I have ever come across. Thank you, Kyle {2021-06-29}

[@jpd8]

Kyle your an awesome guy. You explain things thoroughly and clearly. Your pacing is perfect and the visuals you use are informative and easy to read. Keep being awesome man.

[@michaelbrauner]

Oh dude. I like how your break it down and structure your tutorials. Very good.

[@kingwoodbudo]

This was great. Kind of spooky at the same time as I've been working on a project at work this last week involving bubbling and how to get the tool tips to only show up for the element I've on, not the parent. Lots of other good info that I plan on using. Thank you very much!

[@michaeld663]

Thanks solved my problem with the event delegation. I spent like an hour trying to figure it out.

[@abdullahsoomro6238]

I watched this video 2 times. To really understand the event bubbling and event capturing. You taught it really nice and simple way.❤

[@Ruth5664]

This is the clearest and neatest that the Event Listeners can get. Thanks buddy!

[@samirkhatri-dev]

Kyle does good and in-depth research regarding any topic. Best Video.

[@deniskotov]

Your channel is a chest of gold for me! Thanks a lot!

[@bigbtripathi]

This is the best explanation of event listeners that I have found in youtube so far.

[@MecksOnwenu]

This is very informative. Eventlisteners are a real deal in JavaScript DOM interactions.

Add Event Listener for future elements blow my mind. Respect 😎

@webdevsimplified Hi Kyle, Can you teach in-depth concepts of event listeners like mouseover, focus, blur and on which tag elements these won't work, how to resolve it. It would be really useful if you could do a video on these things... You're awesome at mentoring and keep rocking. Thanks a ton for your efforts.
