It's 2021 and this npm tutorial video is still good to learn, thankyou bro

[wesstephenson]

I love the video, Brad. Thanks again for explaining a previously confusing topic so easily and clearly. My NPM confidence level is over 9000 now!

[grantpritchard]

I have to say Brad, I've only recently started watching your videos but already I'm a huge fan.
Your style is very easy to follow and even with more in-depth stuff it is very easy to learn as I watch, so well done!

Feb 2023 update: You do not need to use `npm install --save [packagename]` anymore. Just `npm install [packagename]` does the same thing. `--save` is not needed anymore. Similarly instead of `npm install --save-dev [packagename]`, do `npm install -D [packagename]`

This is the best video for learning NPM, hands down. Absolutely no need for any other npm tutorial when this video exists..

[ManontheBroadcast]

Things become much easier if someone can explain them in a simple manner, so that even a beginner can understand...thanks Brad ! ...keep on the great work.

When I have issues with electron Brad puts out a video.
When npm has been giving me grief the past week, Brad puts out another video. HE'S A WIZARD

Man, all I have to say is this crash course was EXCELLENT! I was totally lost with NPM and now I have a better understanding. Thank you so much! Smiles ☺

[mylordishere]

Thank you very much for this video. Before watching this video, i used to switch to new linux distro, everytime just because i wasn't able update or remove global packages. You saved me from that big hassle.

[gnzlplcs]

Brad Traversy's videos are all I need in my life.
