Hope this helps guys. Sorry if the sound is low, I have some tweaking to do to my audio

We all appreciate your dedication and hard work Brad. Thank you very much for making us better developers everyday.

A single way i found useful when watching tutorials: Listen carefully to the concept you are learning and watch a simple example. Then, when the instructor is about to build sth with It, pause the video and first try It alone as a challenge.
By the way, great staff and keep going Brad. Really aprecciate it from 🇦🇷.

I'm stuck in "Tutorial Purgatory" so this video is very helpful. Thanks Brad for being amazing!

@06:30... This is so true... That's the way I learned Redux. I only could get my head around it after I watched different approaches to the material.

& to be frank, I only started fully grasping it & its benefits when I started implementing Redux into the project here at work. So yeah... Multiple approaches & then doing it yourself are (for me atleast) the key take-aways from this video.

Big shoutout to Brad for his videos!

Adding to number 5:
1) good developer subreddits, such as react, webdev, etc
2) Medium articles
3) Twitch Science and Technology category

This video couldn't have been more timely for me. Just yesterday I took one of your projects that I had done and started to build extra functionality on it. Thanks Brad!

[GeekMustHave]

Thank you for defining the Tutorial Purgatory. It is a place I am familiar with, I escaped when I took one of tutorial app's and had to make it work bigger. It was painful. I took some time to add comments in the code along with the Google references so when I came back, i wouldn't be starting over again. Love you material and spread of topics. Keep broadcasting!!

I was just thinking about this and here it is. Just finished your Python/Jango course - awesome stuff. Hands-on project shed a lot of light on how things are actually done. I think the way you put together those specs was pretty cool and so clean. Thank you for all your hard work. Coming from grateful patron. :)

Thanks man, you are a lifesaver! I started learning to program about 6 months ago and I've been feeling stuck for about 3 months now. I'm gonna try to implement these strategies into my learning. We appreciate your hard work, thank you for helping us every day! Best coding channel on youtube

5:11 "I research until my head hurts." 😁 The things we do when we are passionate about something ...

Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

[Shpongloid]

Thanks Brad! This will give me some strategy once I'm done with your MERN stack course on Udemy, loving it btw!

[RajaCreates]

I can't really express how helpful you and your channel has been to me in a short comment, but I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do, and for doing it consistently well. Love your work.

This was literally just happening to me right before I found this video. I finally made time to sit down and study, 5 minutes into the course I'm freaking stuck on something that should be an easy fix but its not working, I quit the course, try to find something different to study, can't think of anything or don't know where to go, so I come to youtube and this video is the very first thing I saw, thanks Brad, much appreciated.

Traversy You are my mentor, your videos, teaching and voice of speech is amazing. For sometime now I have loose programming motivation for some reasons, you just spark it up again. Thank you

[firstworldproblems]

So.... a tutorial on how to move past tutorials. Seriously, I really appreciate the insight you provide in non-technical videos such as this.

[thomasstar]

I have a tip. When I learnt MERN stack from your Udemy course, I mastered react, so I tried to recreate others YouTubers projects (ex. DesignCourse YouTube Subscriber count application tutorial based on Angular / electron) to make them work on React / electron. This was a big step up for me!

[nunosantosdev]

Thanks, this is one of the most important videos for me. I was learning web development alone. so I have done al tutorials that I can... So I made a portfolio with all the exercises I have done with my own touch.
Thanks for showing me the way... when I get a better job I will buy you a coffee or smth else.

[kahri]

This is one of the best channels for web development. I'm always learning something new. Thank you Brad!
