[@nemeziz_prime]

These small concise tutorials are exactly what we needed! Really solidifies our understanding of these important concepts. Thanks a lot 😊

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you ☺️❤️❤️❤️

[@PhootballEdits]

They're so many dev channels on KZbin. Your own is unique because it's straightforward, detailed, broken down, etc. I don't know how you do it but your explanation is clearer than the rest

[@Corbinhol]

I love how your videos feel like reading a book on the topic, or an article, but while also being able to see a live demonstration, without all the fluff other videos tend to have. It really helps me streamline the information. I cannot wait for your next video.

[@bibimathew6381]

Bro, you're so good at teaching and your videos provide the perfect visuals. The world needs more of your service!

[@aritmoydatta4404]

Your channel is a godsend. I had been reading articles and all but never truly understood where exactly to use the units. Your examples were eye opening. Thank you!

[@relja_]

I would love to see you cover Flexbox vs Grid - When to use which one (separately and combined). As always great and clean video!

[@slayingthedragon]

Great suggestion! Thank you 😊😊❤❤

[@rhys7homas]

This is such a massive help! I like that you show real use cases where you would use which unit and the reason for it. I’ll definitely remember the 45ch-75ch rule of thumb. Keep these coming. Your production is top tier!

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you, much love ❤️❤️

[@jcis1013]

These are seriously the best tutorials on the internet. so much information packed into these videos.

[@rj771]

I have started my course on html and css. This is by far the best channel I have seen. The details you explain is helping make my base strong. Thank you.

[@rewazilol]

the first minute of this sold me on your entire channel. i so appreciate the explanation

[@sergio_saad]

man. you`re just out of this world. Just cant believe the precise class I`m having. Congrats.

[@meauxx]

Dude, as someone who started webdeveloping 18 years ago (and been at it on and off), this channel is a treasure. Not following the space for longer periods of time had always made me feel like it's very hard to catch up with the latest developments. But it's videos like these (and your clear and concise explanations) that makes coming back to web development a LOT less daunting. Thanks so much!

[@Xooou_]

Can't wait for another GREAT GREAT GREAT video 😁

[@keppycs]

That font size accessibility thing fully convinced me to start using rem instead of px. I love that you use real world examples to teach. This way I'm actually learning the why, and not just the how. I'm so glad I found your channel

[@yonsukim3047]

I just started working as a front-dev recently and your css videos have taught me basics that I wouldn't have learned unless I were in school again :) Thanks and can't wait for your next videos~

[@slayingthedragon]

I'm honored my videos are helping ❤❤❤❤

[@JaLikon65]

You my friend, are an absolute gift to the world of web development. Thank you for this explanation and your videos in general. You make truly fantastic videos; I can't thank you enough for all the effort you put into them!!

[@JaLikon65]

Also, thank you for covering the specific USECASES for all of these Units! There are some other videos out there that covers these units. Some of them are even as concise as your video. But, the key thing they lack is that they don't explain when you would actually use these units! Adding that in makes this video just so much more useful to me. And in general, I REALLY like how in your video you explain the concepts -- but the you also provide examples or guidance on how you can effectively use those concepts. That's the big thing that sets these apart I think. Along with the great voice quality, animations, examples, etc :) Just 10/10 work my friend, I really appreciate it. You have a real gift for this stuff

[@juliusbusiness4283]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, I never quite understood these types of units and stuck to the PX even though the people around me were using REM and EM.

[@jahnisicalderon5600]

Aaa i think imma binge watch all your videos i love the fact that you take the time to explain it and helps us understand. Thanks. From someone that is wanting to know coding but doesn't have time to take classes.

[@fvgoya]

Your content is extremely well produced and detailed. You should have way more subscribers. Please don’t stop to create content.

[@AbhishekNagargoje63]

Thanks for providing amazing clarity on the topic! 🙌✨ Eagerly waiting for future uploads ! 😊

Hi, thank you so much. The second part of the video about using the common CSS units was so straightforward!!! You're examples and the way you explained was really great.

What a smart, unique, original, enjoyable and refreshing approach for teaching. I wish you were my private teacher. I have too many questions, and too many topics that I like YOU to teach me :) Thank you for becoming a content provider.

Such a great channel with amazingly clear and detailed content! I was shocked seeing this unbelievably great content and having 20k subs only => which means keep it up and you will get what you deserve, a place in the list of the best learning channels on KZbin!

[@slayingthedragon]

[@satyamdograreallife]

Yo !!!! That explanation is so fast for beginners like me. I'll have to watch it like 20 times to fulty interpret it. Anyway setting the height of my grid to 100vh did set the grid cover the enitre height & width of the page. Thanks again dude.

Keep creating such small videos about topics in no time your channel will be a go to channel for beginners. Also create content regarding Javascript and React once you are done with the CSS part . I learned Flex-box and Grid from your channel i was a complete doodoo but after I saw your videos it changed everything. Keep Growing 💗

Just stumbled upon your channel by good fortune. As others have said, superb and concise content. Subbed!

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you ☺️❤️

[@_ndot]

Nice video. I did not know about the padding trick and the ch units. Thanks. ---------- Like you said the reference pixel is a reference for a standard that works for us, humans, visually. It's important to note that you can calculate the actual size on the screen, at least the majority of times. ---------- In your first example the screen is 1080p (1920x1080px) and is 27 inch (23.532 by 13.237 inches). Lets translates this to the superior unit of length and we get 59.771cm by 33.622 cm. Because you used a square we can pick either height or width lets pick height for this example: 33.622cm / 1080px = 0.03113148148148148cm/px -> this is the size of each pixel in cm 0.03113148148148148 x 96px = 2.98862cm -> this is the size of a square with 96px If you look at 2:10 you can see that the ruler is on the money 2.9cm. ---------- Cheers and keep it up really nice videos.

Man is the goat in explaining

[@devsadisatsowala1003]

well explained!! ❤

[@fartlander]

One key takeaway from this video is at 10:58 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKu9hamCotKHsK8) The use case for mixing em and rem is buttons. Font size in rem, padding in em. font-size: 1.5rem; padding: 1em; Why? When not used for font-size, em is the requested size relative to the font-size setting in the element. Another superb video. You really are a master of brevity and subject matter. That makes understanding sooo much easier.

DUDE WHY YOUR VEDS ARE AMAZING

[@slayingthedragon]

DUDE haha thank you ❤️❤️😁

[@theepicgamer5808]

Great video. I forget the name of the book (it's got to be 15+ years old now) but it had an example that used the absolute size of "small" on the html element. The benefit being it still allowed the user to customize their font-size (as you demonstrated) but gave you a rem equivalent to 10px. It made the math easier for me for when, for example, someone asked for 32px font I could just use 3.2rem instead.

[@slayingthedragon]

Was it the tag ? If so that's some OG stuff, I think it's deprecated now Thank you ☺️❤️

[@badcatdesign]

Yeah that’s a strange one. Length units like PX and EM on fonts can be absolute or relative, but it’s confusing to realize the similarly named units like small and smaller are actually different - font-size:small; is absolute while font-size:smaller is relative. 🤯

[@theepicgamer5808]

@@slayingthedragon Looks like my comment from last night got deleted so trying again. No, the absolute font size "small", as in: html { font-size: small; }. They're still current.

Thank you so much ❤❤

[@pavfrang]

The real size in inches is always: pixels/resolution [dpi] , therefore it is a function of the resolution of the device. When you change the resolution of the device, the real size changes based on the formula above. (The almost empirical "expected viewing distance" may be the same for the same device/screen - but the size is clearly dependent on the resolution, which might change for the same device based on the graphics adapter settings, and therefore the definition that you present is not a strict one). In fact, this is how the resolution is defined primarily. Other than that - your presentation is almost perfect!

Could you make a video about content, margin & padding?

[@slayingthedragon]

I might do that, I've been thinking about doing a similar video with box-sizing

[@GeTDuCkT]

@@slayingthedragon Yeah, I had a question on Codeacademy that wanted me to make a rectangular with 200 px width and 100 px height, and a square that's 100 x 100 px, ONLY using Margin and Padding. Shit was hard man, I never got it right. Box-sizing is also something I'd like to learn more about, maybe that could go in the same video? Like "Margin, Padding & Box-Sizing, what are they and how do they relate?"

[@slayingthedragon]

@@GeTDuCkT Yea in fact they do go together, also border's - you can see it on the example here developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing I'll try and make a video on all of this, thanks for the suggestion :p
