The JS Call Stack Explained In 9 Minutes

The JavaScript call stack is something many beginning programmers have heard of but don't really understand. In this video, I quickly explain how the call stack works and why it's worth knowing about. We also take a look at the chrome call stack debugging tools and talk about some common errors.

Dude! Did you realize that you changed my life? Colt Steele, you’re a beast! After learning JavaScript from you, I ended up having an idea for my work, and I ended up developing a chrome extension that’s saves the support department so much time. A multi-million company is currently using something I developed, and you play a critical role in this success story! Thank you!!!!!! I honestly wish I could cook for you to show some appreciation 😂

[@melvinpunymeyer8104]

I hope you got a good promotion after that.

[@Ali-lm7uw]

Which course? And is is course outdated?

[@aseel1024]

can u link us the JS course he made? I take MySql course from him on Udemy, really it's very good in teaching.

[@musaddiqurrahman1949]

@AS & @Mir His most famous course is the "Web Development Bootcamp" in udemy, and it is amazing. He focuses mostly on the fundamental stuff, that pretty much laid my foundational web development knowledge too. I too really do appreciate this guy!

[@pearlsswine]

@@musaddiqurrahman1949 I've watched so many online courses on web development, and Colt's course is by far the most superior. While I'm not a particular fan of his dog references, his teaching skills are the best I've seen. Angela Yu is second, and I would recommend people watch both if they're interested in web development.

[@threeone6012]

When you said "call stack" = 'to do list" I understood it immediately. Great upload!

[@umslopogaas]

Exactly the same happened to me! His examples are the best

[@BobbyBundlez]

no.

[@cryptodoomer2855]

note: the older todos have to wait until the newer are done

[@TA_Solberg]

Love that you are creating a youtube channel. I have spent the last year now doing various courses across the web, some from online academies, youtube instructors and so on. Your courses still rank #1 from me. Keep at it, but always stay critical, that is key! Wish you the best and thank you for all the time and effort you put into education people about this wondrous thing that is programming and web development.

[@thepassionatecoder5404]

You are one of the few teachers that could explain difficult concepts in a way that it is not possible to not to understand. Thanks a lot :)

[@praff5308]

Hands down the *best* explanation of the call stack I've ever heard.

[@SuperMelibelly]

I understood this 10x better than the single paragraph in my textbook. A million thanks! :)

[@mycomputerfund]

Omg. I'm going to watch all of your videos even if I already understand the content. Your teaching style and voice is so comforting to listen to. You'd make a great father.

[@greencoder7419]

lol

[@JA-ki3fh]

hahahahaha

[@LouisNelZA]

Coding groupies!

[@AtacamaHumanoid]

His Web Developer course on Udemy is amazing. So is his SQL course if you need to earn SQL. I don't like the Advanced Web Developer course because he has other people helping him do many of the sections and, frankly, they're not Colt. Colt is uniquely good at teaching in a way that is easy to follow.

[@robinr2336]

@@AtacamaHumanoid Thanks, good to know regarding the Advanced Web Dev course!

[@fawazaljohani8447]

you got me into web development i got your first course and i learned A LOT and now i started with the new one and im excited to learn , i honestly think you are the best teacher i have ever seen .. and when i saw that udemy message about your youtube channel i immediately watched everything .. keep on going

[@CedricWurm]

Woo go Colt! 70% through your webdev course on udemy and loving it. This was a really elegant explanation. Looking forward to the youtube content!

[@umslopogaas]

I took your "Advanced Web Developer Bootcamp" course and got confused there about the Stack explanation Tim made. So i ended up having to search it online and coincidentally it's you who cleared my confusion. Great vid btw ✌

[@Endorsun]

Pretty complex subject, but explain so simply! Great video dude! Thanks a lot!

[@anthonypenna476]

Got both of your web courses and I love your teaching style, Colt!

[@ianl5753]

I love the 'cat meow' 😂😂😂

[@eugenevedensky6071]

Would you consider making a video on 'this' -- particularly in the context of arrow functions versus regular old function declarations?

[@timwilburn8883]

This is so helpful! Writing JS with this in mind will make the coding process way more efficient.

[@samichpower]

You made this so easy to understand, thank you!

[@paweellwart3445]

Finally a video that has explained this, you are doing great job and really know how to teach other people. Great stuff, thank you!

[@waheedafolabi6264]

Great teacher....always breaking complexities into fragments.

[@aritralahiri8321]

Your magical explanation and awesome engaging skills is such a gift to all the students out there including myself. You are the best instructer I came across so far.

[@eugenevedensky6071]

[@citizenalex1934]

It's important to study call stack first before recursion. Thanks Colt you explained it very well!

[@tomask4584]

Weclome back Cole! I cant wait to see you new upcoming course!

[@jonathanramirez6187]

Thanks for this video! Your videos are great. I just bought a Udemy class after watching your webpack playlist. I have a request. I'm wondering you would consider teaching about Garbage collection in Javascript. I have searched everywhere and can't find a good explanation of how it works and how to write efficient Javascript with garbage collection in mind. Thanks!

[@darthporkius]

Thanks man!!

[@Woeden]

Great lecture

[@TheAsphaltJunkie]

That was the simplest way to explain, code flow helped too

Hi Colt, i just want to say you are a life saver. Every single time i hit a roadblock in my programming journey, your videos always help me out.
