    I personally prefer the animations and basic concepts. All too often as developers we're forced to jump into more advanced concepts before we even understand the basics. I highly encourage keeping it as basic and simple as possible. This first video has been a very welcome breath of fresh air!

      Based on my personal experience, keeping it simple on an interview will not be satisfiable enough, it does require the level of explanation my dude is doing here.
      bottomline: I do agree with your point that keeping it ELI 5 it creates way more effective learning process, but not effective for an interview processes.

    That's very insightful from you to share your knowledge with the community in another media.
    Certainly, keeping that quality of animations and contextual description, CZcams you help you read way more people and potentially make you find your goals!
    Congratulations on the final product! 👏 Keep it simple enough for newcomers and technically enough for experts.
    BTW: how did you make those animations? Did you any tools? I really like it. 😁

    Saw your post on LinkedIn and received the email and I subscribed BLAZING FAST. Love you way of teaching and how you break things down and make it easy to digest.
    My Feedback is that I loved the video and for visual learners its very appreciated the effort that goes into the animations and transitions to bring the idea to life instead of just a block of text or a static image for 10 minutes. So really enjoyed the effort into the visual content.

  • @dave6012
    @dave6012 Před 9 měsíci +1

    You all have come a long way, but even this first video is top tier. This also happens to be a very common interview question, so pretty much the best place to start.

    Great! I've read the first version of your System Design book, and I think this videos are a complement for that content. I like as you maintain these explanations clear and simple. I will keep continue enjoying these great videos.

    @nyncn Před rokem +1

    I have your two books and I was looking for the video version of it. I am so happy to find this channel! Videos are great because it's even more efficient for me to memorize stuff than books. My one request is that you could speak a bit upbeat with rhythm. Maybe this is my personal preference. Even without that I still really love this series and I really appreciate you started this!!!

  • @sumanshekhar8110

    I hope you won't lock your content after sometime as mostly people do . You can monetize it for ads as it will still allow financially unable people to learn it for free . Awesome content there man!! Keep up the good work.

  • @abhishekanantharam645
    @abhishekanantharam645 Před rokem +1

    As someone familiar with these concepts, i found this pretty useful for a quick recap, however it will be difficult for someone without prior knowledge to follow what's exactly happening in 5 minute shorts like this. Anyways looking forward for your future videos!

    I can't believe anyone has the chutzpah to start a CZcams channel this year when there already many well-established good ones out there. I'm glad you did. This video is good. The videos that followed are great. The keys of quality you discovered are short, animated, good voice, and relevant topic.

  • @holidance1
    @holidance1 Před rokem +26

    The content was good and clear to understand. What I would like is to have a detailed video on the connection setup mechanism like what is TCP (and other options) and how does it work and how requests are made over TCP (or some other type).
    Also, the pace could be a little faster, although this video was short but in case you make longer videos, then a bit faster pace would be good.
    Having said that, I love your work so all the best for the channel.

    • @mehulsolanki9435
      @mehulsolanki9435 Před rokem +1

      Yes, the pace was a bit slow. I watched it 1.5x. I think it is fine if keeps it the same way if anyone wants to go slow. If someone wants to go fast, they can always increase the speed.

    @AakashShahFromGoogle Před rokem

    Wow that’s a great video! I am excited about the roadmap of system design videos that are in there making. I enjoyed this video. I see there’s a lot of feedback already in here, so I’ll throw my two cents as well.
    The strengths -
    * Great topics
    * Your voice is really good and pleasant to hear.
    * The pace is good.
    * Content and Animations are great
    Constructive feedback-
    * Please add some less known facts to some of the major concepts you cover. It requires a tad bit extra research but makes the viewers seek more fun facts.
    * You could have gone deeper in the DNS cache. There were some areas where I felt that you assumed that the viewers already know somethings. Such as you could have shown a side bar animation for a IP to URL - DNS mapping.
    * towards the end around HTTP handshakes, the animations almost stopped and the focus shifted on the speaker and it felt a little scripted (it didn’t feel like that in the beginning of the video)
    I am looking forward to more great videos! Thanks for the creation of this content!
