Alright!! Definitely looking forward to this series

4:30 - I would like to mention that this section of the video is not true. When new people learn they consume videos and tutorials from the internet.
But there is a big problem. Most of the tutorials still teach the old ways using (var). When I started learning to code a while back, all I could find was videos & tutorials teaching with (var) .
Its only recently that very few videos are appearing & teaching with (Const & Let). And when new coders are learning they see (E6, ECMA-6 and ever other abbreviations)
But they are still so confused in the beginning parts of coding, that they are not paying attention to the details of the new addons implemented. Because very few are teaching it.
So its really not the fault of the student, its the fault of all those people still teaching with (var) and not updating "Their" content material.
The street is 2 ways you

Thanks Dylan, sounds like a great series. When can we expect the release of your algorithms course?

[RobertR]

Thanks, Dylan. Looking forward to the video series. As a new programmer, I think it's best to learn these practices early in the learning process.

[Colstonewall]

Not to argue, but I still see the Var keyword used in 3rd party apps all the time. And as far as I can tell, "var" is not deprecated. Not to mention there are some specific reasons I use var at times instead of "let". So, Im not sure if just using "var" in your code makes you unprofessional. . .BTW, I'm looking forward to this particular series, Dylan!

[savagecoding]

Can you do a 'Code Like Dolan' series?

[davlmt]

"the art of writing readable code" is a great book

[TheBrettmchatton]

Thank you for stating this series. I started learning coding a bit ago and have my first dev interview tomorrow and binged on some of your videos. This is one subject that I feel I am lacking in. I make specific variable names, classes, ect. also making sure to comment almost too much but when I go back to projects am very glad that I did.

[JonesDi]

Thanks for this. My code is terrible looking.

[thepro]

are you from israel or is that just your last name?

[billykotsos]

Exciting stuff Dylan,
I am starting my software engineering job next week, and for the past few weeks, I've been trying to revise good coding practices.
This series comes at the perfect time for me.

Also good work as always

Hi Dylan, would you recommended the Clean Code book to a mid level JS Dev? Or is there perhaps a similar book more tailored towards clean JS? Course sounds great, can't wait to get started.

[malcolmanderson]

Dude, the amount of Fortune 1000 software out there that doesn't meet your first sentences definition of "professional code" is scary. 1000 line methods are uncommon, but far from rare. 26000 line code files, also uncommon, but not rare. I wish there were more "professional" coders out there. (To be fair, there's a lot of garbage code from good programmers caused by dead-line-driven-development, where the developers are pushed to get the happy path working and then leave it to operations to fix the last 20% of the code (that takes 80% of the effort.)

[brendakeller]

Have been enjoying many of your videos and am really looking forward to this series. It sounds like it's right up my alley. I'm still working on learning JavaScript more completely and generally just put a page or app together, get it working, and then refactor it (usually more than once) to make it better. It would be more efficient to start out with a good solution, that doesn't require as much refactoring because it was done right in the first place. Thanks for putting this series together!

[Dwyaneish]

Dylan you have the best and most practical channel about software on youtube. This is series is gonna be great. I learned more about the industry from you than school. Keep it up and cant wait for your algorithms course. Your extremely helpful to my development

[theprowler]

Nice series, but this video could be 3 minutes long, you spent 12 minutes saying the same thing in different ways.

[johnn]

dylan I've been watching you for 1.5 years man. Really appreciate it. Im at that point that I can get the problems that come up to work, but I'm not fast and I ushually can't understand the code without effort 1 week later.

[NRG]

Excited for the series! Helpful for students and juniors.

[parasarora]

thanks for starting this playlist...i will surely look forward to it😁
