Hello to everyone from The Odin Project!!

[rotrose]

I just recently realized that regex is a subject you simply can not avoid if u want to bring your programming skill to the next level. Thank you very much.

I'm from Odin Project and I'm so glad I didn't skip this one :D

[omar-elgammal]

Your videos helped me immensely in my programming journey from the first bootcamp to my masters degree I am doing now!

You have the ability to break down any topic into small comprehendible pieces.

Please keep up the great work you are doing in the world Shaun!

You're the first guy I've bumped into that has a British accent in a coding tutorial. From north of England I think, given that you tend to pronounce 'must' or ''stuff' like 'moost' or 'stoof'. Sorry for the digression, but I'm pretty in love with British accents.

what up my Ninja. This guy is a great trainer. I am trying to learn this to pattern match reverse proxies in IIS on web servers; and he never lied. By the end of the video. I knew exactly what the pattern expressions meant. I have taken classes before on YouTube. Some of them are good, some are great, others are excellent; but This class was excellent. This guy is good. Big ups Ninja.

Your tutorials are among the clearest and easiest to grasp ones I've ever seen. Great job! Keep it coming :)

I've been through more than a few regex helpers (including Regex Buddy) and this series is, without question, the absolute best regular expression tutorial in *any* medium.

Thank You
