Brad , 3 years ago my journey started with you. On my way of becoming a senior full stack developer at an awesome company. You are changing lives brother !

[@meJevin]

Senior full stack developer with 3 years of experience sounds hella sketchy 😂😂

[@brightsite7561]

Read again. I said on my way of becoming a senior. Meaning now I am mid level and on my way of becoming a senior in a couple of years.

@@meJevin It is not impossible. I have seen ppol with few years of exps and hard working. putting down work that some seniors were unable to do.

I love how Brad teaches he always go directly to the point with a lot of hands on examples

[@timothyayers8015]

Dude. You are so awesome. All I needed was this video instead of watching bits and pieces from other videos. Thanks for access to the sample. Nice to have after you did a great job at taking us through each step to build it. Would have been hard to just look at everything and know how each part gets used. Now, I understand why a tool such as webpack is something I need to use.

[@rayromanov]

This was a very useful and easy to follow introduction to something I've been holding off for months simply because it looked so complicated. Turns out it's not! Thank you so much, Brad.

[@prasadhonrao]

This is the best Webpack tutorial and nothing less was expected from Brad. I am just buying another course from his website as a token of appreciation. Thanks Brad.

[@ReachByteBurst]

Straight to the point and recent, loved it. Saved my day, I was struggling with implementing sass the entire time because all the tutorials use node-sass which is (as you lined out) deprecated, but then I went to the sass chapter on this video and it worked! So thanks ❤!

[@rishukumar7586]

Brad ..i just want to say thank you for your efforts ..it really means a lot for all of us who learn from your videos. You have spent your valuable time on creating such quality content.....please keep doing it ..:)

[@katrineren6457]

Brad, I wonder why you always know what I am planning to learn and make a course at the exactly right time….Thank you so much for this great tutorial!!!

[@simajacob7416]

Thanks, Brad. I was just searching for a good and latest webpack tutorial 2 hours before your release. Thanks Again.

This Guy made me fall in love with programing I started following this channel since 2018 and now I'm working as full stack JavaScript developer thanks to God and thank you very much for making such awesome content.

[@Franksterrific]

It definitely was a crash course but it got the job done, everything worked without a hitch. Thanks Brad

[@ezeobisochima9944]

Even though I am here yet I still value this like any other video. To me all Brad's video is a must watch 😁. Keep up the good work in making more great leaders Brad, indeed it actually making you a better leader. Loads of love from here.

[@philippebaillargeon5204]

This video is like 10000x better than any get started blog I read about webpack. Good job

[@EricMalek]

I can't believe I found this by total accident! Helped me in about 30 minutes with what I couldn't figure out in 3 days. Seriously, thank you for this. Btw, I almost spit my coffee out at “I can has”! That’s some old school right there! 😂

[@lovrozagar3729]

The best webpack tutorial for beginners I could find. Thank you.

[@maximilianominetto524]

Thanks Brad I know it is not easy to stay on youtube and creating new content. You upload interesting videos that they need more support. Thanks and you have a good day

[@johnadepelumi93]

been working with react and never had to bother about webpack until today. My company is building a project in Vanilla and someway somehow, I have to do some webpack configuration mostly to reduce our build size. This really helped me get started on a good speed.

[@tips-and-tricks-for-m-files]

Thank you so much. Finally got webpack 5 to do what I want thanks to your crash course!

[@tomaszleszczynski8928]

In my opinion, still one of the best Webpack tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@morchellemusic2829]

great video, exactly what I needed. Waiting for Snowpack crash course, thanks Brad

Brad lead me to Javascript full stack development. The moment I finished his MENR stack crash course, back in 2018 or 2017, I fell in love with it and proceeds to dedicate my career into Javascript web development.

[@bilalkorir2070]

Thank you for this nice Webpack 5 tutorial, short and to the point.

[@kshayk0]

I was always afraid of webpack and how complicated it seems to be, but you managed to break it into a very understandable segments and it made it seem far less intimidating now. Thank you very much!

[@danielwaduka5740]

Thanks sir! This has made me pick up the very basics that I needed to know concerning Webpack.

[@malkitsingh01]

superb content as always. Many thanks and much love, Brad.

[@RJ-mf4bc]

Brad,Your truly best..,Your videos help thousands of developers,Please keep it up❤❤

[@manwithllama]

I'm learning Webpack for the first time, and your video is the best one I've found. - Your pacing is perfect. Not too fast, not too slow. - You don't focus on the app being built-you focus on webpack (another 2hr+ long video tries to demonstrate webpack with an overly complex example app. It was mind numbing.) - You start/code "from scratch". That's so important in learning. There are no existing files. I watch you code and absorb every step (again, because of your calm pacing). In other words, (21 minutes in at least) you don't seem to assume anything of the viewer besides basic html/css/js skills. Thank you so much for putting this together. I'm learning lots, and will come back to it again when I start implementing it. Thanks Brad! Instant subscribe.

[@charlieurt8221]

Woooow this video was help myself to do my first project using webpack. Unfortunnely, I was doing a bunch of projects without take care of a properly planning and using a lot of old tecnologies and bad practices, and now, is the moment for learning about the Front-End best tools for this times. I was reading and learning about webpack from the official documentation, but, despite the info is very interesting about the potential of this dev enviroment, for moments is pretty confuse to me and a lot of theory to learn, is for that the reason I was looking a practical introduction with a little sample project to learn a bit of the bases, and this video was the one I'm looking for. In addition, congrats for the voice, I'm not a native English speaker, and I can say the voice is clearly well. Thanks a lot, this video have my like and I'm a new suscriptor for your channel, I hope to find content like that in the future, good evening for you.

Hello, Brad. You are a legend guy that inspired lots of people to learn programming. I think the same way you can inspire poeple who want to create a new programming channel. I want to start a programming channel, it would be awesome to learn your process in one of your videos from beginning to the end. I mean a video about a course creation. From microphones, to slides, to postprocess of video and so on. Love you!

You rescued me from Parcel hell ! It was working all fine with a practice project but suddenly it stopped HMR, and I researched and tested my a** off ultimately resulted in anything. So I dared myself to try webpack which was on my roadmap to learn but not now, .then( ! ) Where to learn installing and configuring webpack other than bruda Brad ! THANK you man, your teaching and demonstration is clean, soooooooo straight forward, THANKS A LOT

Great vid! thanks Brad

[@indroneelray1630]

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. A concise summary of common config options for webpack. Wish I could give it 10 thumbs up. Thanks Brad! BTW, the official webpack documentation is terrible. Full of bugs, errors, rambling, and bad writing. This video is crystal clear and to the point.
