Hands down, best programming instructor on YouTube. Simple and clean explanations.

This is great! Can you explain in more detail in a later video on why arrow functions don't recognize "this?" I understand it has to do with scope, but I'm not quite wrapping my head around how arrow functions handle scope differently. Thanks again for your time and expertise sharing this!

I was struggling with the 'this' keyword a bit as a novice programmer, but this video made it clear as day. Thank you so much!

Your videos are amazing! To the point, clear, well illustrated. It has helped me grasp a few concepts better.

since it is the same as writing the name of the object, is this keyword used in case there are nameless things? or so that you can use the same code for different objects since it automatically updates the object name in the method? Thanks so much bro, even if you don't answer, I know you've got work to do ❤

My Bro, why you are not making android development

I still feel confused with those different ways of writing functions. What are the differences between them? why doesn't the arrow function refer to the object in which it was written when using 'this'?
