This tutorial is by far THE BEST Django Channels tutorial I have encountered. This provides the greatest step by step direction and clarity. Thank you!

[quocbao]

Ok, I have looking for a source to learn about Django Websocket for the whole week and this video truly saved my ass. Any other videos altho may has more views but just kinda rush into the tutorial without explaining anything. This video is super informative and great explaination.
Your channel is a gem. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.

[aashayamballi]

Yay! Channels takes django to next level. Thank you so much for this.

Could you please show us how to deploy this as well.. Because I've not seen any good content on deploying channels to a production grade server. If you're making any series on this that would be a great content.

Loving all your Django content. Keep up the good work. And again, thank you so much 🙏🏼
