Most tutorials on the Internet would just assume we know everything and skip through the explanations of each part. But you do make an effort to explain everything. As a beginner, this is extremely valuable. Please keep up with the good work!

once you learn the fundamental of python, Django, HTML, CSS, and probably some javascript, this is the only video you need to watch to glue all of them together. this is an amazing video. The instructor is professional in explaining all the complex concepts in simple language. I felt like I have progressed a lot in just watching and practicing with him.
