The Complete Guide to JS Symbols ES6

In this video I cover the new-ish primitive type: Symbols! What are they? How does they work? When would you use them? Towards the end of the video I show three different use cases/examples of Symbols in action. To help decide on future video topics, make sure to subscribe and turn on notifications!

It's just me, or every time when you watch a video lesson from Colt Steele - you smile?
Colt, you are the second teacher in my life who:
1) brilliantly delivers the material
2) dilutes it in time with jokes so that brains don't boil.
I think that's what talent is.

And if someone doesn't take my word for it...
Well, Ask me anything you want and I will answer without hesitation: Rusty is the sweetest and most amazing dog in the world!:)

Thank you very much for your work, Colt!
(P.S. Sorry for the possible clumsiness of my English. I'm working on it.)

Beautiful - the ONLY video lesson on Symbols that actually explains understandable use cases. Well done!

[SyedAli-krqw]

To me personally JS is a monster and this teacher tames it like a badass. Listening to his videos is a joy not a mess.

The most popular videos are like "what you need to become a web developer in 2019?" or "Which framework to use".
But your content is quite unique so far. Thank you.

Liked, commented, and subscribed. All the other videos on YouTube on this topic made my head spin. But as soon as I come to yours, all the sudden it makes sense. Please never stop making videos, you really got a talent and I can see why you are a teacher!

[Shubham-b]

Colt, anything that you teach is just a blessing for us. Glad you are bringing out more content. I would love if you could make some more substantial project videos like Yelpcamp!

[OnSenseAndReference]

This video is just splendid! I literally have killed half of my day trying to find out a real explanation why symbols can be indispensable. There are lots of resources attempting to reveal this but it seems they are not able to figure out the core problem preventing to realize the subject. Fortunately, this is the exact place to obtain such knowledge. It is told very simple, but logically and intelligently. +1000! Colt is a great teacher, indeed! :)

Very informative, helped me understand the concept very easily, especially with the examples.

[ViciousViscount]

You're my favorite nerd. Your content is always so fucking high quality.

[djw]

Suddenly, I get it. Perfect. The example for me was the error handler.

[EdgyVidyaGeneral]

Great video, thank you.
3:06 it's almost remarkable that your random numbers were so similar

[Mohammed-nrys]

hi colt, i am near to finish the web developer bootcamp . i want to see video that you teaching us how to be very good developer ( what is the thing we do, the mistakes in coding ) thanks colt i learned so much from you, you realy are the best thanks a lot

[FrankLi]

Hey Colt, I bought both your web dev courses and the javascript data structures course. Really liking it so far. As I'm preparing for interviews with Leetcode and such, I do find myself wanting more content that teaches more how to solve various problems. You gave some nice strategies like sliding window, but if anyone can help fundamentally change how I approach problems, it would be you. If you can do more advanced content with that in mind, that'd be great! Afterall, besides projects, the algorithm-intensive tests are generally what stands between a candidate and a new job. Cheers, mate!

[mustafaalfar]

Brilliant explanation Colt,
we need the second video on Syboml :)

[linoymiz]

You explained that very well thank you very much! keep up the good work :)

[russellabraham]

This is great, thank you! Was just catching up on your youtube videos and wondered if you might cover multithreading with web workers.

[apall]

Colt I desperately need that other video about the "well-known" Symbols

[squidneyj]

Thank you <3 This video helped me clear a lot of confusion

[ShirazEsat]

Thanks! Symbols would be useful when setting up ActionTypes in React Redux. Guarantees we are using the right "thing" and avoids sloppy coding.

[egorshumanskii]

Colt, tell us please the pros and cons of using relational and non-relational databases. Some sort of comparison. Especially Describe a decision-making process when i should use relational or non-relational DB. Thanks!
