Markdown Crash Course

[@RealToughCandy]

Markdown is a sweet little concept and more devs should know about it! Knowing the syntax is so handy, especially for Static Site Generators. Thanks Brad.

[@pixelPlex]

Markdown is also handy for KDoc ( kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/kotlin-doc.html ).

After watching many videos, I found this one to be exceptional. The tutor explains the concept clearly and provides an excellent practical example. This is a fantastic video

[@jpgundertanner]

Thanks for this video, 20 minutes and now I have done the documentation of my code very professionally.

[@bobbyboxer2664]

Brad... come on brother... you are TOOOOO AWESOME! Damn man, you really do know what us newbies need. You’re paving the road for a lot of people and we are so grateful for it. Thanks again man

[@MrMikel85]

I had no idea what Markdown or Mark up languages were before this video but kept seeing them pop up, this was amazingly helpful, thank you

[@SivakD]

The quote at 0:10 "If you've been a web developer for a while you probably already know Markdown." I've been at a web dev job for 5 years and never heard about Markdown before today. I guess it's yet another modern practice my company doesn't do. I'm looking to change jobs and the programming test required this, so I guess it's another skill I've got. Over 2 years late, but thanks for the video. The preview extension was a godsend.

[@embedded_software]

I am taking an online course in reinforcement learning while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic. The course requires submitting project reports written in markdown. I have never used markdown before. Your video is helpful. Thank you!

[@deepgsingh]

Lean markdown and install software like boostnote , now you got yourself a very meaningful note taking application. Rather than only text now you can view your data in table , links and checklist etc. format.

[@argeelearner3978]

[@gqngster9115]

Obsidian MD is really nice to take notes with! It supports markdown natively

[@Sanchit__]

Thank you Brad. Now I know StackOverflow question/answers editor uses the same syntax. Finally I know it’s MARKDOWN 👍🏻

[@joonyerdev7759]

Yes indeed.

[@jsims1986]

Awesome video, I use markdown almost daily as a way to document as I write code. Since I have to pass out paper copies of my notes sometimes I like to use Pandoc (with the vs code extension vscode-pandoc) to convert it in word, put page breaks in for formatting and am good to go. I also find myself using a lot of tables, so I found the Markdown Table Formatter extension to be very handy as I can do a really roughed out table then through the key command make it look nice.

[@busyrand]

Right in time for me! Learning the JAM Stack now. Wanted a detailed introduction of this. Thanks.

[@golammuktadir4355]

An excellent course for those people who are starting to learn Markdown, Thanks

[@bahibrahim101]

A very useful video about markdown and its uses, thank you

[@danielandreasen2293]

Love markdown and a previewer. So good for note taking too :) Great vid once again Brad.

[@FlaviaMartins111]

I had a little difficulty, got frustrated at first, but finally I was able to follow and it was a nice class, so I want to thank you and say I'm sorry for my first frustrations. It's a class for beginners and good at it. Thank you so much.

[@mshahnazi7636]

Thank you Brad for your tutorial. I especially love the cheat sheet.

[@joonyerdev7759]

Thanks man, you did a great help to me and the other devs.

[@kawan5851]

Great. Thanks. I wish our CS teachers will teach such stuff in such a nice manner.

[@HostDotPromo]

Markdown is great for readme's.

[@ahmetbcakici]

also for preparing docs?

[@WaiRo441]

yeah i use discord it has some things so this is even easier lol

[@harivigneshm9170]

@@WaiRo441 that's interesting can you please tell me more about discord and markdown? Edit: I know what discord is but how is markdown used in that?

I love markdown for websites write, but is complicated when need to create layouts and divs or another elements containers, thanks for video is awesome. I use in jekyll for contents for posts and pages.

[@555tny]

This is amazing. I just learned something. Hands down to you, sir!

[@JimKernix]

You can preview Markdown in VS Code without an extensions - look for the bottom top-rright when you are in an md file.

[@emmanuelowino4291]

Exactly what I was looking for. THANKS

[@AndrielleHillis]

Thanks for making this quick tutorial. I've actually been trying to figure out how to do markdown for a tutorial repo.

[@tariqqureshi9243]

Got to love (and follow) Brad's thinking.

[@AndrewPendlebury]

Just a heads up regarding "MarkdownPad 2" (that features on Brads list of editors) - this seems to be an abandoned project unfortunately. I used to use it - it was a great editor, but several faults developed that never got fixed (and some requested features never got added). It's not been updated in over 3 years (latest version is 2.5 from 24 Dec 2014). Several threads on the ApricitySoftware forums asking "is it dead?" and quite a few disgruntled comments from those who have purchased the "Pro" version - which is still available to buy - but are having problems and receiving no support. FWIW I switched to MarkdownEdit, which is a simple/lightweight markdown editor on Windows, although it does struggle with large documents.

When the video started the sound was like avast detected a virus, was scared for a bit :) Great video though!

[@LaChRiZ2k]

Pandoc is a great tool to convert Markdown into other formats. Like HTML, Word, PDF. And you can apply css files to it, to change style and add code highlighting in code-blocks.

[@rogerwprice]

Brilliant - thanks for such a super clear crash course. Indeed, an essential skill!

Hello. The image [Markdown logo] is not displaying for me. @12:30 in the video... I am following along and the image does not display. I am using Visual Studio Code with the correct extension installed. Instead of seeing the image. I am just seeing the markdown syntax in the preview plane, where the image should be. Can anyone advise me as to what is going wrong, or what I am not doing correctly... my markdown is exactly as seen in the video. Thanks.

[@christopherbartlett4285]

I'd like to ask the creator of this to be mindful of blind folk who might watch this video and not be able to read the typed text. It would be helpful if you would read what you're typing verbatim, at least to the extent of the markdown syntax, as I'm not sure for instance of which items are wrapped in their key characters, and which just have the character before text. Otherwise, I appreciate the efficient way this gives syntax for markdown, which I am interested in learning. Thanks for taking a look at this.
