This is a step by step introduction to Velo aka. Wix code (aka. Corvid). Velo is a language that is built on JavaScript so by learning it you will pick up A LOT of essential JavaScript skills. The upside of learning with WiX/Velo is that you don't have to learn HTML/CSS to get started. Just use the WiX editor to build your website and build out the functionality using Velo/JavaScript!

I have done hundreds of hours of coding. It is NOW that it is all making sense.
They throw technical terms at you in a very abstract way. However, Eitan is going to the basics. That is the sign of a REAL teacher!

Call back function. Thousands of taechers have taught it online, but they ALWAYS assume you know how it is used in space-and-time. This course has been so empowering!

Hi Eitan, WOW ... your videos are excellent ... I have only watched and followed the first three and I am getting anxious already because you only have 9 videos listed. This is like watching a great NETFLIX series and not wanting it to end because its so captivating ... will you be creating videos beyond the 9 you have listed so far ? ... your teaching manner and style is great ... its perfect for newbies at VELO who have a background in programming and working with IDE's ... this is really powerful ... THANK YOU SO MUCH

This is awesome, For new programer could you provide an example of why event listening is useful and how it can help a business achieve a specific goal ? Thanks !

Awesome video! I have a quick question—I'm trying to figure out how to link an element ID from one page to a specific section on another page. Would using onclick be the right approach for this?

[GeorgeTatakis]

Hey, great stuff! I have a slight trouble with that. I want 2 different things to happen onClick. One is a graphic play and another is go to a link. So essentially I want to show a "loading" graphic while the next page is loading. The two of them work perfectly when used separately. However, when I add both of them, the result is that I only get the link to the next page, and no graphic playing. Any solution to that?

In the event handler section, when I try to click on "onClick()", nothing shows up and I can't add any event handler.
