After my last video a bunch of people asked for a CoffeeScript tutorial and so I made one. CoffeeScript compiles into JavaScript and tries to improve on JavaScript in many ways. Many people prefer it because of how it improves classes and it is actually more popular then other high profile languages like Swift, Scala, Visual Basic and Lua.

I’ll cover the whole language in 2 videos starting with this one. I’ll show you how to set it up and then cover variables, Math, String operators, Conditionals, If, Else, Else If, Logical Operators, Ternary Operator, Switch, Unless, Existential Operator, and more here and the rest in the next video.

You guys asked me to create an updated tutorial on how to install XAMPP, so here it is. I wanted to cover everything though, so I show how to install XAMPP. I also cover how to fix all of the common errors. I show how to setup Administrator accounts on Windows 10 and then allow them to run apps, which is normally restricted. Then using phpMyAdmin we create user accounts and a database. To round out the tutorial I then create PHP / MySQL configuration files and PHP scripts that are used to query and update the database.

All of the code used among other things, follows the video below. Continue reading Install XAMPP →

I received a bunch of questions about using Map Reduce in MongoDB, so here I provide a bunch of examples. First I’ll cover Map Reduce using straight JavaScript. Then we’ll cover increasingly complex MongoDB Map Reduce queries. Then finally I’ll cover using Group and Distinct.

All of the code used is available after the video below. If you missed previous tutorials, you should watch my first MongoDB tutorial to start. Continue reading MongoDB Tutorial 4 →

In this part of my MongoDB tutorial I cover indexing and aggregate. If you missed part 1 or part 2 watch those first.

We’ll examine querying speed differences when indexing is used versus when it isn’t and what data is best to index. Then we explore power querying with aggregate, which allows us to group, sort, perform calculations on, and conditionally manipulate our data and much more. All of the code follows the video below. Continue reading MongoDB Tutorial 3 →

In this part of my MongoDB tutorial I cover insert, understanding id keys, find, update, remove, drop, searching for ranges, and numerous ways to query your database. If you haven’t watched part 1 definitely watch it first because I showed how to set up everything in that tutorial.

Like always, all of the code follows the video below. It is best to have it in front of you as you watch so that you can refer to the documents stored in the database. Continue reading MongoDB Tutorial 2 →

We’ll also cover how to use Mongo, Mongod, executing JavaScript, creating databases, creating documents, insert, update, find, remove, data types, executing external JS scripts, the mongorc.js file and much more.

All of the code from the video can be found below underneath the video. The rest of the videos will follow very soon after this one. Continue reading MongoDB Tutorial →

In this tutorial we’ll explore the Express NodeJS framework. It provides all of the capabilities of NodeJS, also makes it easy to build robust web applications quite easily using a MVC format. I’ll cover how to install on Windows, Mac and Linux. We’ll then explore building the server, routes, incorporating Handlebars, incorporating Bootstrap, ports, middleware, app.use, app.get, catching / throwing errors, handling forms, file uploads, cookies, sessions, reading / writing files and much more.

This will serve as an overview of the whole Express framework, while the next tutorial will how to incorporate a MongoDB database into an Express app. All of the code is down below. Continue reading Express NodeJS Tutorial →

In this tutorial I condense most of the documentation on Bootstrap into one video tutorial. Bootstrap makes it very easy to make responsive websites and provides numerous awesome components you can use on your site.

I’ll cover container, jumbotron, grid systems for creating responsive sites, hiding / showing elements base on screen size, carousels, navigation menus, drop down menus, tab interfaces, navigation bars, buttons, tables, icons and much more. All of the code used follows the video below. Continue reading Learn Bootstrap in One Video →

In this video we’ll learn Handlebars by walking through numerous examples. Handlebars is a superset of the Mustache template engine. A template engine helps you separate your HTML from dynamic content created by languages such as JavaScript.

We’ll look at how to dynamically place data, templates, working with arrays, helper functions, passing attributes, escaping strings for safety, block helpers, fn, inverse, partials, precompiling templates and much more. Continue reading Learn Handlebars in One Video →

In this video we’ll learn pretty much everything about JQuery. We’ll cover how to load the JQuery and JQuery UI libraries. We’ll also cover selecting elements, styling elements, adding text, retrieving text, changing attributes, JQuery events, JQuery animations, JQuery UI, and Ajax.

I did my best to condense everything you’d learn in a standard 200 page book down into one video. All the code used is available below. I also have a link to everything in a compressed form here for download. Continue reading Learn JQuery in One Video →

In this video we’ll review pretty much everything about Object Oriented JavaScript. We’ll cover : JavaScript Objects, Objects in Objects, Constructor Functions, instanceof, Passing Objects to Functions, Prototypes, Adding Properties to Objects, List Properties in Objects, hasOwnProperty, Add Properties to Built in Objects, Private Properties, Getters / Setters, defineGetter, defineSetter, call, defineProperty, Constructor Function Getters / Setters, Inheritance, Intermediate Function Inheritance, Call Parent Functions, ECMAScript 6, Singleton Pattern, Factory Pattern, Decorator Pattern, Observer Pattern and more. Continue reading Object Oriented JavaScript →
