This week, we’re going way back to the basics. We refute the idea the Javascript is a hard language to learn, and share the surprising results of trying to teach a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old the fundamentals of computer programming. By the end of the video, you will have a foundation for creating reusable solutions to problems, and should have a grasp of the concepts of values, operators, expressions, variables, objects, and functions.

Your slowly getting me to understand the MECHANICS Of Javascript.
Now I know Kung Fu
But that's the basics of JavaScript. When you get into more difficult things (3d, applying it to a job, creating plugins ect.) it becomes frustrating and more difficult.
You guys are GREAT!
Really nice explanations of basics, the dot notation method never seemed to be so clear in my mind! Good enticement how to teach and learn basic programming!
Really fun video to watch you can apply the concepts in this video in any programming language
Thank you!!!!
I,M GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN. AND THANKS.
great job here.. thanks
Great humor but very simplistic for us beginners. Thanks.
JavaScript is easy
var val = true;
function howTheHack() {
if(!val) {
var val = 2;
}
alert(val);
}
howTheHack(); //I like those bags and strings
This video just made me want to "Whiteboard" javaScript!
I just think it's way easier to understand programming from traditional teachings … not the way these guys are confusing everything. I imagine the little guy thinking WTF to the tall guy with the way he goes on and on about his 'bags' and 'tags'. He admitted he was an artist. I think he should stick to art then. The little guy explains thinks quite well, the other one sounds like he's still learning … and that doesn't help people who are watching this video. Fair play to those who felt they actually learned programming from this, but I say look elsewhere for a more straightforward path of learning. "You're 50% into JavaScript now!" ha ha ha ha ha! Try 1%, if that!
NERD PRIDE 4 LIFE thanks
i am not gay! but i like you guy so much 😀 you are great ! ! ! ! !
Awesome easy breakdown. Any new videos being worked on?
These guys are geniuses. I love how they explained this. It's so simple when you look at it this way. They have literally changed the way that I will look at and teach code throughout my career. Thank you guys. Today was a good day of where I bumped into two dudes sharing the knowledge.
Good Job you guys. I intend to show this to my kids 7 and 12. Really easy way of understanding objects in Java/Javascipt. Cheers.
Great video, just one small detail for future beginners: parametres and arguments are not the same. You set parameters when you define the body of the function, and arguments are the values that you pass when you call the function. So parameters would be function(x,y), and arguments would be function(1,2). !
go to hackingtons
The big guy sounds like Garth Algar!
Great video, clear explanation. Hope to see more videos. Subbed.
Could you guys make videos about what you do on a daily basis? You said that you always use JS, are you developers for a certain framework? Or are you fullstack developers?
Great video simple and straight to the point. That's what many of us needed!
Thank you!
thanks a lot !
Thank you so much ….. 🙂 please make more videos
It is too sad that you don't upload videos anymore. This is a real tutorial not just throwing some random info from a guy that understand everything and just building some stuff that are just working. Also, if you can make video about JS documentation because I haven't seen anyone really explaining how to work with documentation because that is one of the "pillars" of truly understand JS and working with it sucessffully.
Thank you so much! You guys are awesome.
Best video I've seen on javascript
Wait a second, i thought the cat was in the bag, not Ben?! Wth, I'll never learn JavaScript!
I've been learning Python and thinking about switching. It's hard to know where to specialize with Python and seems could take a while to learn. JavaScript seems easier and more straightforward and towards a specific job. Since PythonIs general, it's hard to tell what to learn and not to learn. Any one agree or disagree?
Thanks guys, by far the best breakdown of JavaScript on YouTube.
i'm only 9 minutes in and already this is looking like the best tutorial i've ever seen!
okay…17 minutes in, and this other guy is losing everybody :/
"please explain everything that jared just said" 🙂 does Dad() do his own videos?
you guys did a great job explaining the basics of javascript and programming in general.
You guys rock! I enjoyed every minute of this.
its really cool and the best way of learning please add more video
i bet that they are from Canada
