. . Quick, what does this do: /(\/*?\/)|\/\/.*?(\r?\n|$)/g? If you're like many developers, you just averted your eyes, and your heart is now in your throat. Symptoms included sweaty palms and recurring nightmares with blood-thirsty ASCII symbols. But don't worry, this condition doesn't have to be chronic. A cure is right around the corner.

As with many developers, you're familiar with the power of regular expressions, but anything beyond the basics scares the crap out of you. Fear no more young padawan! In this talk, we'll start with the basics and progressively enhance your knowledge until you're coding regular expressions like a champ. Everything will be demonstrated live with visual examples that ensure maximum comprehension.

I've been using regular expressions for many years, and I still learned a few things from this talk. Plus, Lea always makes it fun! Thank you!

Someone just pointed me to your channel. I've been using regex since around 1999. I had to use them exclusively during my early days of parsing text. I used Perl for a lot of server automation, data mining tasks and even for websites. While today I use PHP, i still find for data mining tasks and front-end development, regex is still king. Thank you for this talk.
