In this video we will dive into AJAX with Vanilla JS and NO JQUERY. We will examine the XHR object and how it works. This is a beginner friendly tutorial for anyone that has very basic JavaScript knowledge. We will make xhr requests to a txt file, local json files, an external API and even PHP files.

Around 8:00 I said "videos". I meant to say "files". Everything is in this one video. I did not get to the libraries but we will do that in a separate video. Hope you guys enjoy!

Every time I hear that intro music, I feel really confident.

This is one of the most straight forward tutorials I've watched for JavaScript. Most videos post either pure basics or pretty advanced tutorials. Been searching for a video like this.
Thanks for this video.

I learned more with your videos in an hour than in all of the weekends of the past months.. I like the way you take the time to break things down and explain and diddle with the sections of code... The best i have ever seen... The way you play with things and break them is fantastic...

This is in my opinion the BEST video explaining AJAX on YouTube. I have scoured for hours and no other videos have explained the concept in such an understandable way. Thank you so so much. This is going to be so much help in Web dev classes at school. You, sir are a life saver.

@14:45 for those wondering, the fx open is inherited from the XMLHttpRequest constructor and can be found under the prototype (__proto__) property.

Really good, solid tutorial. I'm doing a course currently and this was just baffling to me at first but you've just made it so much more accessible and easy to understand. Excellent, thank you.

Can't explain how happy I was to see this pop up in my notification. Couldn't wait to come home and watch it as if it was a game I recorded while I was away! Lol. Great video 👍

[iancarr]

These videos are invaluable. They serve as a great guide to html, css, ajax, etc particularly when reviewing videos from other providers

Just finished this, right after watching the JSON Crash Course.
Two hours ago, JSON and Ajax didn't just make sense to me (I had used them a number of times, without understanding anything 🤧).

Right now, I totally understand everything.
Thanks a lot Brad. You're amazing.

The most beneficial hour I've spent in the past few days. Thanks, Brad.

[dustinhammack]

Thank you so much for this video Brad!! I have been struggling to understand AJAX, and this video just cleared up all the confusion I've had about it. I can't thank you enough!

[rkireev]

Cant say thank you enough. Going through coding Bootcamp and I find your videos extremely helpful. Best on youtube for a fact. You are the man! Keep up the good work!

[csiwele]

Thanks again Brad, Your videos are a staple to my personal and professional journey as a programmer. Every hour spent on your videos is invaluable.

[danielioanitescu]

Brad, I wish you all the best, bud! You really are a teacher and your methods are nice, clean and easy to understand for all of us. Wish all the best for you and your family and keep it up with the good work. We need you 😁

[simple_lide]

Thank you, Brad. Your tutorials are awesome. You actually do things from scratch, and explain every step. Also, I like those types of videos as - "been showed - now practice", short and valuable. Great! Wish you all the best from Ukraine! :)
