Let me know in the comments what sort of content you're most interested in:
- tutorials on something specific
- how to build certain apps (e-commerce/social media/real-estate/clones of other apps/etc.)
- overview of how something works (authentication/app architecture/deployment/etc.)
- other

Also one thing I'm thinking is to have things outside of just tutorials on this channel, could be interesting to dive into some topics like the ones in the last point. I like putting together tutorials, but also don't want to just be a tutorial channel.

Let me know your thoughts on some of these things!

[maged_helmy]

Thank you immensely! I'm positively brimming with excitement for the second part!

[codernerd]

Love to see more of exactly this content, also welcome back hopefully you're planning to update your course!

[shanejames]

This is GOLD! Finally someone who knows their Django!

[toogiitube]

This is by far the best course I found on Youtube. Thank you.

[guillaumedesurville]

I don't understand how you got only 260 likes. It is by far the best tutorial I have watched on the topic !

[MohamedElguarir]

Thank you so much for this incredible value you're sharing with us 🙏, keep up the good work!

[eagleofsharm]

This is an awesome video, especially for someone who moves from Django as a full-stack, to Django as a backend only, this is where the challenge comes to understand the lower layers of authentication and how to customize everything to work with the JS frameworks. Thanks, @bryanbrkic for this awesome video.

Maybe something like OTP authentication with next and django?

Being new to frontend technologies, your previous videos on how to implement jwt authentication with react and django helped me a lot, as these kinda tutorials are rare out there.

Also doing some system design stuff, as people already do tons of tutorials without any thoughts of how potentially an app can get messy without a well organized structure would be pretty come in handy ☺️

Thank you Bryan, great video, learned so much about Django and Python coming from the JavaScript ecosystem

[Diego-prio]

[dieudonneoutchi]

Thank you Bryan, It was awesome.I learned alot.
as a side note, your speaking and teaching style and even tone your voice reminds me of Adam Swaap (Houdini Artist)

[harimzermeno]

Amazing content, a new series idea could be using docker, redis, celery with django and deploying to production as ive had a hard time finding content with all of them togethor. Awesome vid!

[abdullamagametov]

Hello Bryan, whatever you do, thank you so much for your videos that helped me a lot in the past. I think it's necessary to vary the production of videos on different topics.

[CalMeNeva]

i like your teaching style a lot, thank you sir

[zaidangaming]

Bryan remembers he has a Youtube channel and audience.
super excited for this. :D

[QzMystic]

This content is really excellent, thank you. I think you can also produce content about application architectures (microservice etc.) in Django.
