yeah ! the guy is doing his work very dedicatedly, efficiently and honestly
Dedicatedly - he does not stop, keeps providing new contents
efficiently - always chooses useful topic and provides valuable tips, tricks ... etc.
honestly - his pricing model is good, you won't find difference in his paid and free content

I like the work of Net Ninja

The Net Ninja is certainly a good channel, but your statement is very controversial

I say again, Net Ninja is definitely a good channel, but you are exaggerating too much. He has good videos and good tutorials on his channel, but I can't agree that he is better than the set of other channels listed in the list. Here everyone looks at what he likes.

In any case, I have already added it. I have already noted that he has really good videos that will definitely suit a beginner and even experienced developers. But here it's not about how much universal content you represent. The Net Ninja channel has too universal content. Well, let's say we take CSS or SASS. Tutorials for understanding styles are good, but it does not have such an in-depth study as on the Kevin Powell channel (No. 18), there are no such videos about creating animation as on DesignCourse (No. 4), there is nothing similar that you could see on the Dev Ed channel (No. 25). I haven't seen any videos about Three from him.js or Pixi.js as on the channel Yuri Artyukh (No. 8) or Wrong Akram (No. 12). There are not a lot of videos about creating web elements like the glow of dcode (No. 14). And so you can continue for a very long time, he does not have a lot of things that are on those channels that I have listed in the list. But this does not mean that The Net Ninja is a bad channel, it's just that it is no better than the set of channels listed in the list. He just has good tutorials 🤷

Dev Ed does he have Flutter videos? Does he have videos on Graph QL? Where are people.like Coding addict,Academind? Not Universal Net Ninja has many contents which are far more valuable and they are much easy to start for beginners? Btw no point in getting series as this is not tech noonies. But definitely more.prirority is given in clickbaits and fancy things rather than actual learning

This is purely a question of what information will be valuable for whom. Someone needs tutorials, someone needs a more in-depth study of certain topics. There is nothing more to argue about here. For someone who has started studying a particular technology, Ninja will be useful, and for someone just the same other channels presented in this list will be suitable. And it is not always correct to compare them, because the topics of the videos can be completely different, that's all.

I have a small channel that has been getting a lot of good reviews. I have over 70 videos that cover mostly PHP but also have some server, JS, CSS, and WordPress tutorials. I have also been featured on FreeCodeCamp. Check me out and judge for yourself: DevDrawer youtube.com/c/devdrawer

You know. You have a really good channel. I've watched a couple of your videos on CSS and JS, and they seem quite good to me. I think your channel can be added to the list. Thank you

I agree that YouTube is a fantastic resource for information. I did not want to compete with all the other "How to Code" channels but I did want to share my knowledge and experience from owning a software development company for 15+ years. So I created a channel about "the Business of Programming" which talks about negotiating salary, negotiate working virtual office, whether you should be a contractor or an employee, coding standards and naming conventions, and IT disaster recovery plans.

Check it out at: youtube.com/BusinessOfProgramming

The Net Ninja is someone I can relate to, for some reason there's this calmness around his voice, I can assimilate better when I'm following his tutorials.

freeCodeCamp is my victory card for all things programming, excellent curation of other programmers and making sure good content gets to their end users.

I've seen traversy but yet to watch any of them videos.

Where's the the one and only Jack Herrington?

He's the one that step ups your frontend game, has a great series about TypeScript, and shows everything in practical way - not only in theory.

Kinda missing the "advanced" youtubers that shows something more than "beginner-friendly" stuff all the time.

Would recommend “Dennis Ivy” strongly. It’s mostly Python, Django and React for beginners, but I think he has one of the best ways in explaining and commenting so that every beginner is able to follow.

Why is it that a lot of tutorials advise you to read the documentation? For me the documentation is way more confusing than a written tutorial. Maybe I just need to get back to reading more so reading becomes easier.

I would agree it’s difficult, but it’s also a very valuable skill to learn how to read the docs.

You're wrong. There are enough channels here that are better than The Net Ninja. I'm not saying he's bad, just don't be a fanatic

Hes not bad lol he is easily amongst the best. Just cause he doesnt make clickbait contents like Joma Tech does not mean hes not good. Nor being a fanatic but someone who wants to learn programming gets more value from these people ratger than people who just do Yt for only views

Thread Thread

Videos with a clickbait name are not always empty in their content. I don't see anything wrong with clickbaitness. Moreover, it is necessary to understand that many channels depend on YouTube algorithms, and sometimes they just have to invent clickbait names to get into the recommendations. Unfortunately, this is how YouTube works.
