Firebase - Ultimate Beginner's Guide

[alexandermccomb]

Firebase is like magic. No one really understands it, but people love watching it happen.

Daaaamn, this is like a firestorm of information being injected into my brain. I had to play the video at 0.25 speed to be able to follow... Good luck, "beginners"!

Most tutorials blather on and on about unimportant things. This 21 minute video is like hours of regular tutorials. I love it!

Today we go back to the basics. In 20 minutes I cover pretty much everything you will get out of a full entry level Firebase course using vanilla JS. Also, I wanted to share my personal reasons for choosing Firebase.

This was a fantastic overview, I'd say you need basic programming knowledge but it really walks you through in a clear way no matter your level of understanding. Great stuff.

Not seen it in the comments, but it seems we have three deprecations in the latest SDK since this was published:


1) at around 16:24: .downloadURL is deprecated - I changed to to get it working.
2) at 18:18: functions.config().firebase has been replaced with process.env.FIREBASE_CONFIG
3) at 18:50: we now need a snapshot in the param and reference that when referring to the document.
i.e. .onCreate((snapshot, context) ...
const docId = context.params.productId ...
const name = snapshot.data().name ...


Great video though - many thanks!!

Thought this was great at showing an existing programmer the power of using firebase versus their current preferred code. I would agree with the other commenter it was probably not an absolute beginner's guide, but this was very useful to me. Thank you for taking the time. Subscribed!

Some of you guys misunderstood the "beginner" thing. This is not a beginner video for JavaScript. It is a beginner video for Firebase. You can't expect to get the most complex features of JS like callbacks and promises in a 20 min vid. And about the "not up to date" part. Of course it will not be up to date because these technologies evolve with the speed of light. It was up to date when it was recorded. And if you see something not up to date, just do what Stephen Banbury did, instead of whining. Thanks for this awesome tutorial!

You got my full attention throughout the video. Not a lot of content creators are skillful to engage users in 1 minute of video. Thanks for the awesome overview of the firebase. Just the right content I was looking for.

[mahghuuuls]

It helped, however many steps were skipped making it hard for a beginner to follow.

[Vaygeth]

Lot of effort put into the vids, one of my fav dev channels. Keep up the good work

[Welcometomyjourney]

Really the most complete firebase/firestore tutorial on YouTube. Thanks a million!

[sumantkanala]

Very well explained about how firebase is not only quick and easy to setup but also production ready our of the box for many use cases. Great work. You are a gift that keeps giving to the web dev community! Keep it up.

[adriantadros]

Fantastic video, thank you. A very nice quick overview of what Firebase is and what features it has. As a long time JS dev, I found the code examples were nice and simple and easy to follow to get a basic understanding of exactly how each feature works. This is a dream for JS devs who want to get a MEAN app built and deployed out in the wild. You get so much out of the box - Google CDN, SSL enabled out of the box, real time updates and not having to worry about web hosting, mongo hosting, etc. I'm inspired to build something now!

Its <Ultimate Beginner> 's guide. It's fast but helpful. It took me an hour to catch up that he already made changes within maybe 5 frames. Thank you

[LeCrowTV]

Adding the missing `<br>` on line 14 between the transition at 11:16 was really sneaky

[facundoalvarado]

Man, this thing is so powerful. Can't understand why I waited so much to start using it. Will certainly give it a try!

[yuvrajsingh-gmzk]

jeff was like "No chit- chat just on the point", I loved to be here!

[gatikgarg]

I'm Now Realising that firebase can give life to so many project ideas that i dumped due to backend involvement

its simply crazy
