- A look back on ye old days, where we came from, and how we ended up in this mess. Few mistakes, can you really blame me? 😇 TIMESTAMPS:
1:00 In the beginning
3:00 JS all the things
5:28 Babel
9:00 Introducing Webpack
14:20 Babel with Webpack
16:00 React (no JSX)
19:00 JSX all the things
21:50 TypeScript and TSX
24:17 Bundle all the things... CSS imports

This is absolutely brilliant. Attaching a storyline to this was genius. This is how everyone learns; through context and use cases. Keep to this style of tutorials and this channel will sky rocket. Well done 💯
Thanks Lothar!
History in tech is important. Someone needs to do a video of the history of the internet (from a network point of view)
We transpile typescript to javascript then transpile javascript to older versions of javasript for wider browser support and then the browers JIT compile the javascript it loads to run the actual code. Even without webpack, different loaders, webassembly and the other stuff going on it's complex enough.
Great stuff! Thank you !
In less than 30 min you fast-forwarded me from the 90's to modern era :)
Thanks ⚡️
Amazing video! With every part you explained WHY something was needed. This is missing in most of explanation videos on the internet. Thank you!
The video I have been looking for as a junior developer - to actually try and understand the bigger picture and fundementals. Please make more of these type of videos! You are hitting a much neglected part of the web development CZcams tutorial/course/explainer videos market!
Thank you! I'l do my best, glad it helped you, good luck!!
This video is awesome. In just 25 minutes you explained the whole modern javascript paradox. How a simple button click in JavaScript is evolved to be so complex. Thanks a lot it made me understand concepts that are very confusing.
This is the best explanation I've come across... Most videos are too long and too minified.
Thank you for this ❤️
Glad you found it useful!
Absolutely brilliant. Seems like you witnessed everything as if you yourself was a kernel routing and directing every piece to work together just like that :)
This video is really helpful to me. When I dive into Huge numbers of libraries from single page with HTML CSS JS. it really drive me crazy. But thank your sharing. I understand a lot and get a clearness feel.
Rare you can have a history Today. Big picture is always forgotten making if difficult to get clarity. Thank you for taking the time to do it.
I'm glad this video exists
One of the best video I come across while searching for basics
now finally all the dots got connected... brilliant mate !
I'm honestly impressed with how good this was to give and idea about how we ended up using all of these tools in the modern web development. Thanks for your effort!
This is amazing.. front end is so crazy…. Thanks for bridging the gap!
Give m a like/sub, announcement soon but I'm going to be making a course/book going way deeper on frontend tooling!
Excellent video explaining the history and transition to modern js libraries.Superb!!!!!!
Bro you are now my new history teacher. Great work and thanks for the explanation🔥
Great & short Video that explains what's going behind the scenes with modern web dev, Thanks 😊
Awesome! Thank you for the explanation and case study
Finally someone that explains the problem that is being solved by these stupid installs lol. 10/10 vid.
Amazing explanation, love the approach and evolution of the code, great stuff
You have nicely explained in simple way with good example. Thank you.😊
This was so good. All the confusion regarding modern web cleared in one video ! Thanks a lot.
thanks glad you liked it!!
This was very helpful thank you for making this!
Best tutorial watched in the recent days.. Precise and no BS... you got a great teaching skills, mate! Please keep doing the videos..
thanks!!
Great video on how modern web development has evolved.
Thanks :D
This really confused me too when I started learning web development. Now I have a great resource to refer to other people thanks!
On another note, I see you have a few videos on testing using Jest, Cypress, etc. I personally am quite new to testing I understand there are different types of tests like unit testing, integration testing and end to end tests. I know what each of them are but I do not understand how they all come together in one project? Would be great if you could do a similar overview type video on how all these are implemented in a production application.
Yeah this stuff is confusing - there is way more tools in the average project too, but this is the general idea.
Sure, I will definitely do more content around all the different types of testing... great suggestion. One of my favorite topics.
this is just beautiful, i had a lot of troubles understanding what webpack, babel were, and where are they exactly used, but this video just puts everything together in a brilliant way, thank you for the video
No problem, glad you found it useful!
Great explanation. Thanks
I hope you do more videos about tooling. It's really helpful
I like your methodology , it's a very great and enjoyable learning experience !
You nailed it!!! Finally I understood, Thank you so much from the heart, you're awesome
This is great and very helpful! Thank you!
thanks for explaining all this from basics.
This is the explanation I've been looking for!! Subscribed!
Thanks! I'll try to make more videos about tooling in the future.
This entertaining and very eye opening when it comes to the past couple decades of web development. I hate when people use simple examples that have been simplified so much that they don't represent reality anymore. But your example was as simple as it needed to be but no more. It's really cool to see how it all really works and how it came together.
Man this content is plain and simply amazing
thanks for the praise Michael, I appreciate it. also, the comments help me know what kind of content people like to see.
exactly what I was looking for, Thanks, great job
Glad it helped!
Fantastic video!
This is just amazing, hat off to you!
This is the best explanation I've come across
Glad you found it useful!
This was AWESOME! Thank you!
Congratulations from Brazil. content like this is very rare, i'm subscribing.

Pure awesomeness 😍
Simply amazing. Thank you so much.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
that is the best video I watched in my life
Thanks for the 20 minute headache :)
No but really, this made it so much easier to understand what tf is going on.
Thanks, glad you found it useful!
very good content, pedagogically supreme
Great video, thanks a lot!
This is why WordPress is so popular. Running SQL HTML PHP and sometimes JavaScript and you don't even know it.
Thank you! More course React!!!
Main focus is around Vue, but definitely could look into some more generic tutorials on concepts that apply to both React and Vue.
Best explanation
with a bit of luck, this is one of the coolest video i've ever watched :)
Thanks! What did you like about it?
And this is just the top of the iceberg
Damn straight, below lies dragons
Maybe I should make an iceberg video on JS tooling!
hilarious and brilliant!!!
My brain is thanking you.
It's really awesome things to me. Thanks a lot.
Glad you found it useful!!
Amazing
Great Content!!!!!!
god tier explanation
Thank you!
Just awesome
"We're not sane, we're INSANE, we're modern web developers" LMAOOO
Thanks for this video. ❤🙏
Please make update version too. 🙏❤️
Sure thing I’ll try and do it soon. This stuff changes way too fast.
Really great video
thanks!
Impressive ❤
Incredible 👌
thanks JP
I became your fan in just 26 minutes and 41 seconds....
Hey, thanks for the praise!
Any other kind of videos you would like to see? Trying to find a good direction for my content and channel 🤔
@@LachlanMiller if you ask me, I will say that given there are lot of tools out there like your video has explained, it will be good if you can make individual in depth videos of each tool and explain different configurations and what they are used for. I am happy to help as I am also learning these things and there is lot to learn out there.
@@LachlanMiller just sent you request on LinkedIn. Let’s connect.
This is treasure!
All your tutorials are always fast pace that it becomes hard for one to follow your pace
As a newbie this was great. Struggled today with some jest testing presets and had absolutely no idea what was going on. I think I solved it because the error went away but I am worried the test was just skipped. Luckily I have no idea how to check which tests was skipped or not so I can go to bed without worry.
Glad you got it working - skipping a test is never ideal, might be good to find out why it's failing lol. Sleep tight
@@LachlanMiller turns out it was marked with test.skip(...). All greens.
Beautiful
thanks' a lot man
in babel.config, how wepback knows the order to use ? in case of tsx, which loader is gonna run first ?
It goes in the order of the array. I think it goes last to first (weirdly enough).
Bro casually flexing his VIM skills
I'm very much an average Vim user - always learning new things!
Although nowadays I'm using VS Code with the Vim plugin.
Why? I am tired of configuring Vim!
I would like to see how server-side JavaScript comes into play with this 😂
Another can of worms, maybe soon!
@@LachlanMiller ooh 👀
There's so much worse it can be with SASS, handlebars, WASM, and so much extra complexity you can add on top lol
10:37 I don't understand why webpack is needed here if the improvement is to export createElement and import it in index.js. It's impossible to to do this without webpack?
3k views wtf... u need to be recognised
Thanks for the motivation!
25:25
Can’t relate more
😂
legacy code be like : Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power. 😃
This is just one of the web development tutorials I have ever seen, Why don't everybody create tutorials like that?
Many people don't understand it all haha
If given the choice, would you support ES5? It seems a lot of this complexity comes from supporting old browsers.
Depends, last job I worked we had a lot of users on IE11 (hospitals) so we just used babel to target es5. Nowdays browsers can actually load es modules natively via , so depending on your project you might not even need webpack, just a simple typescript build that exports modules, but I think a pre-configured setup (vue cli, create react app) is probbly the way to go.
When i see a guy using vim, I just assume that he is a godly tier developer. Once more I was proved right
❤
Let's always do alot of good
Great content! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
welcome to js land where people over engineer stuffs for convenience
why god , why
Why do we bother with ES5 when approximately 95% of web browsers understand ES6?
Because 5% don't :P
I don't bother with ES5 unless I know I need to support older browsers. Here are some use cases I've run into for ES5:
- healthcare (often need to support IE11)
- smart TV UIs (often using old versions of Chromium or WebKit)
Why is this so hard to follow
not sure, what part are you struggling with?
Excellent
Thanks so much 😀
