I know the nerd community's divided as to wether LATEX is a programming language or not; I won't take a stance in the controversy, going just as far as to say that it definitely is a "language" with its own syntax. Now, as for Mr. Banas, well, this video's incredibly helpful for all of us who want to learn LATEX the easy and quick way. I think someone is due to assert that Mr. Banas is very simply a genius because of: 1) The scope of material he covers in his MANY videos. 2) The simple, straightforward and easy way in which he explains EVERYTHING and makes it super accesible. 3) His more than obvious mastery of thousands of small, important details. Thank you very much, Mr. Banas, for doing an effort and sharing FOR FREE all of your knowledge with us. It is certainly very appreciated.

MR. DEREK BANAS! THANK YOU!!! I can't even count how many times you have saved my ass! You taught me web dev when I got my first job, Android dev when I got my second job, and now Latex just when I need to write my master's thesis!
thesilentvoice I think this is a good resource. I think the best approach to learning this sort of stuff is simply doing it haha. Just google how to set two images side by side for example (pay attention to the packages you need for certain approaches to work). Play with several types of documents and see which fits best for you or what you wanna get. But most important: have fun and patience! LaTex can be a little frustrating even when you’re a little bit experienced, but keep going and you’ll get a pretty neat writing
I finished the video, just wanted to let you know. I need LaTeX to write my bachelor thesis in maths, so thank you very much the video helped me out a lot.
GREAT TUTORIAL. May I let you in on the preferred pronunciation of TeX and LaTeX? The "X" is not pronounced as the "X" in English, but rather like "ch" is pronounced in "loch" as in Loch Ness in Scotland and Bach as in the composer of long ago.
Thank you :) Sorry about the error. I do that sometimes because I learn everything from reading. The funny thing is that I have never been corrected in real life for saying it wrong. I actually called someone and asked them why they never corrected me.
Perfect and at last something I'm more familiar in than Derek :P One comment on what seems like a perfect beginners guide, it's pronounced _lay-tack_ If you called it 'lay-tex' in a job interview you'd be shown the door instantly. For those new to the fantastic guide Derek has posted and the pseudo-language it is, please, please, please call it _lay-tack_.
@@derekbanas no bother, I mean the damn word is *LATEX* so any person would be reasonable for pronouncing it as such. It is a bizarre thing, but in any print or typesetting industry it is never pronounced phonetically. Great guide by the way, I don't want to take away from that :)
I know its pronounced laytek but for years I've been calling it laytex, very few people have said anything and no company has ever been upset about it.
Thank you :) I have 2 such videos. One on study methods and another on software I use for memorization. th-cam.com/video/VpqXCeTfe0Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5urUZUWoTLo/w-d-xo.html
Those underlying jokes at the end are just too funny like the last i catched 'When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother'. Above that an awesome video tutorial.
How about a comprehensive TeX tutorial? Not about writing documents, but an in-depth view into the inner-workings of TeX and writing programs (which is possible since TeX is turing complete). Or how about a tutorial on writing own LaTeX packages?
That is so funny because I actually wrote the code to do that last night and then I didn't post the results because I thought people would think I was crazy. I am crazy by the way :)
\LaTeX gives the actual logo. You can set up a newcommand to make it easier to use frequently in a document. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7546/how-to-get-latex-symbol-in-document
Great video Derek! As a beginner I got pretty stuck at 39:47! for your \begin{tabular} options, the *3_@ character is a lowercase l and not a pipe I believe- that wasn't clear from the audio alone :P
Hi, I just started using LaTex on my Macbook and I can't figure out how to get to compiled pdf version to come up on the screen in real-time as it does for you. How can I get it to do that?
I had the same pb and I think it's a matter of putting the "\end{document}" at the end that makes the difference. Anyways I pasted this code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{a4paper} \usepackage[francais]{babel} \title{Premier document} \author{Un TeXnicien} \date{} \begin{document} \maketitle Voici un texte accentué en français! \end{document} Then I compiled and it worked Tell me if doing that works for you
I think what we can see on his right at the beginning of the video is not what you should get exactly because you can see it is already written his name & the title even though he hasn't coded that yet
Derek what's next series ?? If you want suggestions 1. machine learning really hot topic ( also bit hyped IMO) 2. Security : like basic security series , auditing , web app etc P.S. Love your videos
Thank you :) I'm making 3 more learn in ones Perl 6, Nim and D. Then I'm considering some mat learn in ones on linear algebra, statistics and calculus. All of the multipart tutorials I have done over the last 2 years have all done very bad. If the math tutorials do well, especially linear algebra, I'll try a ML tutorial, security, etc. I'm also considering Photoshop, Illustrator, and Gimp because I haven't done one in a while and people seem interested.
@@derekbanas i personally like all of your multi part series . I am not sure if anyone still uses Perl don't know about Nim and D (or where they are used ) .
Thank you Sir.I've been looking for this kind of teaching method but I couldn't find any. You saved my future. By the way guys"Physicists don't use Word they use LaTex".

@@derekbanas I have watched the Emacs one. Great video. 👏🏼👏🏼 But I had to settle down for Sublime Text for my text editor. Just wanted to know which do you prefer? Vim or Emacs or you use neither??
Can you do an in depth video on Input/Output for programming? I always find those are missing from most tutorials and they are never really explained elsewhere.
I hope someone sees this: What's the difference between MikTex and Tex Live? Just learnt about LaTeX as a whole and I can't understand if they're just different programs used to write the same language or different programs that use different languages.
@Derek Banas How can we make our References clickable? ~ ef{fig:prettypic} If we click on 'section 1.1' it should scroll the PDF to that section. Also the "Table of Contents" in your cheetsheet isn't clickable, how can we make it clickable? Thanks for all your tutorials. 🙏
I really love your videos dude, my biggest problem with them is that you don't show the changes that happen with each line of code you add. (Obviously this is just my opinion, so take it as you will).
It made sense when I heard it 'LaTex is a typesetting system which is the standard for publication of scientific documents and it's awesome and used very often to create evils'
Can you give me some career advice? I am really interested in Android development and I have learnt quite some things in that field. However most people say that I should either go into Big Data/Machine Learning as they have better scope than Android. What do I do?
Based on what I'm seeing for mobile development the most in demand skill is in AR. Java is still #1 for 90% of big companies. Data science/ML is in high demand, but that interest is in people with a lot of experience. If I was just entering the work force I'd focus on Java enterprise development as the major skill and then learn AR app development, data science /ML during my free time. NodeJS also is a valuable skill.
Watched this all in one session at 23:00, i'm definitely going to bed now, but i'll be back here in a few days to tell you if i actually learned anything.
@Derek, can you add an annotation about the settings/preferences that you made to change the default view to the view you use throughout the video? As far as I can tell you do not address this. Thanks!
Preferences -> Themes -> Changed to Dark Theme Preferences -> Preview -> Opening source and preview -> Select Use one Window Those were to 2 things I changed. Sorry for not addressing that
@@derekbanas Awesome. Looking forward to it as I am really confused by various tutorials online. Some are outdated. Some are on xamarin android and some on xamarin forms. It gets really messy and hard to find what you are looking for online.
Hey Derek :) How are you? Just wanted to ask, I finished learning Qt but I can't come up with project ideas to program for my portfolio. Can you possibly suggest a way to come up with ideas? And can I still make it in the freelancing world if I don't have an ideas to implement? Thanks a lot, I know this is too much.
Hey Exodus :) What are you interested in? I for example used to make statistical analysis software for just about anything. I made a video about analyzing baseball (sabermetrics). You could take on challenges like remaking popular websites like Twitter, Facebook, etc. Make a shopping cart. Find a website you like that you wish just did this one special thing and then make that thing. Make a Google Chrome extension. Have Fun :)
Thank you for the tutorial, Derek! How can I zoom the typing screen so I can get the characters to be big enough for me to see them well? Just like you have it in this video. Thanks again!
Assembly language brought me here, realised that I don't have anything Linux, so ordered a raspberry pi, while am waiting for my pi, let's do some LATEX, everything gets easier with time.. Thanks for all the knowledge
It looks like my installation of 2019 Live TeX doesn't come with typeset LaTeX or whatever that option in the dropdown menu is called, and doesn't find the geometry so just prints errors. Texmaker was amazing though. The only part I couldn't create successfully was the table wiht multicolumn that expanded into multiple slots. It had a lot of vertical lines in a bunch, then name, age, first and last on top of each other in a column, a horizontal line and the all the person information in a column on top of each other. It seems as if all that stuff with @ and {} and * isnt working. "{c c c}" yielded a similar table for me.
To be honest.. Whenever i visit your channel i really get confused,, What to learn.. Because there is so many things in your channel.. I really can't understand what to select.. Can u prefer me in what order should i learn those things....????? [Really this is positive compliment for your channel]
Thank you :) It kind of depends on what you want to learn. Web Development : HTML, CSS, JavaScript, (then either Node / MongoDB or PHP / MySQL). I'm planning an updated Angular tutorial. Games : C# or JavaScript, Unity, etc. General Programming : Python, Java, Object Oriented Design, Algorithms, Design Patterns, Refactoring. Mobile : (I don't have an iOS tutorial) Java / How to Make Android apps. I'm planning on updating these using Ionic. Sorry if it is confusing. I'm just one guy and I'm doing my best to stay up to date and move in a normal direction, but technology changes constantly and deprecation hell is constantly messing with me especially in regards to Google tech.
Hey Derek, thanks for this video, would you by any chance know any good introductions to rust and webassembly as I'm find the two subjects very elusive. Thanks in advance!!
When I first looked at it I was like how does this work, but then I realized it works behind the scenes to make everything look good. I haven't used reStructuredText, but I'll check it out

From where did u learn it 🙃, I'll watch this video but also if you something for beginners that may help.
thesilentvoice I think this is a good resource.
I think the best approach to learning this sort of stuff is simply doing it haha. Just google how to set two images side by side for example (pay attention to the packages you need for certain approaches to work).
Play with several types of documents and see which fits best for you or what you wanna get.
But most important: have fun and patience! LaTex can be a little frustrating even when you’re a little bit experienced, but keep going and you’ll get a pretty neat writing
@@miguelescalantemilke7204 yes you right 😊 thank you very much I'll just practice it.
Can you help me???
@@anidakaric9162 hi! Maybe I could. What you wanna do?
LaTeX! Exactly what I needed!
Happy I could help :)
Why use LaTeX when there is TeXmacs?
I finished the video, just wanted to let you know. I need LaTeX to write my bachelor thesis in maths, so thank you very much the video helped me out a lot.
GREAT TUTORIAL. May I let you in on the preferred pronunciation of TeX and LaTeX? The "X" is not pronounced as the "X" in English, but rather like "ch" is pronounced in "loch" as in Loch Ness in Scotland and Bach as in the composer of long ago.
Thank you :) Sorry about the error. I do that sometimes because I learn everything from reading. The funny thing is that I have never been corrected in real life for saying it wrong. I actually called someone and asked them why they never corrected me.
Derek, a big thank you for this. You sped my learning process infinitely with this tutorial.
I'm very happy that I could help :)
For GNU/Linux, install the "texlive" package. A fantastic IDE is Emacs with the auctex package.
Thank you for sharing :)
Good man right here.
this is possibly the best video made on
LaTex , not even a little time was wasted
Thank you for the compliment :) I'm happy you enjoyed it
Many thanks! Couldn't be overwhelmed more..
thank you banas....i was watching your programming videos ... and just found that.... thats a great one . am gonna share it in social media .. cheers
Thank you very much :)
I'm so glad you uploaded this video. I've been working with LaTeX for a while and never found a good tutorial like this one. Thank you very much.
Maybe the next one could be about BibTex.
I'm very happy you liked it :) I'll do more with LaTeX if this tutorial keeps doing good
Excellent! Thanks a lot! My head is spinning now! Only few publications in LaTex will fix it
Perfect and at last something I'm more familiar in than Derek :P
One comment on what seems like a perfect beginners guide, it's pronounced _lay-tack_
If you called it 'lay-tex' in a job interview you'd be shown the door instantly.
For those new to the fantastic guide Derek has posted and the pseudo-language it is, please, please, please call it _lay-tack_.
That's funny :) That is the first time I have ever been corrected for saying it that way. I checked and you are correct
@@derekbanas no bother, I mean the damn word is *LATEX* so any person would be reasonable for pronouncing it as such.
It is a bizarre thing, but in any print or typesetting industry it is never pronounced phonetically.
Great guide by the way, I don't want to take away from that :)
I'm happy you pointed it out. I hate making mistakes, but I'm happy when people correct me.
Shown the door instantly? Not sure I'd want to work there then honestly.
I know its pronounced laytek but for years I've been calling it laytex, very few people have said anything and no company has ever been upset about it.
Legend! Thanks for the educating. You should pub a video on "how I learn everything and remember everything that fast"
Thank you :) I have 2 such videos. One on study methods and another on software I use for memorization.
th-cam.com/video/VpqXCeTfe0Y/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/5urUZUWoTLo/w-d-xo.html
Do you knwo how to code in Latex?
I'm so happy that you made this video. You make the best tutorials on TH-cam.
Thank you for the nice compliment :)
Those underlying jokes at the end are just too funny like the last i catched 'When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother'. Above that an awesome video tutorial.
How about a comprehensive TeX tutorial? Not about writing documents, but an in-depth view into the inner-workings of TeX and writing programs (which is possible since TeX is turing complete). Or how about a tutorial on writing own LaTeX packages?
I'll see what I can do
How,
Me: Am I the only person that cares about ? I wonder if there is a simple tutorial somewhere.
Derek: Well hello internet!
Me: Thanks again Derek.
I watched the video! Thanks for painless introduction :) Excited to try it!
Thank you very much :) Happy to help
I was gonna take a LaTeX course next semester, but thanks to you, there's no need now.
I'm happy I could save you some money :)
Decided to learn latex about a month ago, brilliant guide none the less!
Thank you very much :)

\LaTeX gives the actual logo. You can set up a newcommand to make it easier to use frequently in a document. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7546/how-to-get-latex-symbol-in-document
Great video Derek! As a beginner I got pretty stuck at 39:47! for your \begin{tabular} options, the *3_@ character is a lowercase l and not a pipe I believe- that wasn't clear from the audio alone :P
Thank you :) Sorry for not making that clearer
Hi, I just started using LaTex on my Macbook and I can't figure out how to get to compiled pdf version to come up on the screen in real-time as it does for you. How can I get it to do that?
I had the same pb and I think it's a matter of putting the "\end{document}" at the end that makes the difference.
Anyways I pasted this code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\title{Premier document}
\author{Un TeXnicien}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Voici un texte accentué en français!
\end{document}
Then I compiled and it worked
Tell me if doing that works for you
I think what we can see on his right at the beginning of the video is not what you should get exactly because you can see it is already written his name & the title even though he hasn't coded that yet
How did you set up the theme color and the pdf preview window in the normal startwindow of the editor?
I would like to know as well !
Literally the greatest LaTeX video tutorial on Internet.
approved.
but I challenge you to talk about the chemistry formulae using chemfig package as well. that's the hard part I think :p
🙏 🙏 🙏 😊 👍
thank you so much!!!
i used latex a lot in college but forgot all of it
it is such a pleasure and a trip to watch this
Thank you very much :) Happy I could help
2:20 i had to rewind because I thought you said it was created for "Scientific documentation and Evils"
Hi Derek, wishing you a happy new year. Thanks a lot for this video. Could you please teach us Nim or kubernetes or Apache storm.
Happy New Year! Nim is coming very soon. Sorry for the wait. These learn in ones take forever to make
Thank you very much! I just got into latex and this helped a lot.
When you zoomed in on the math formula I had a Vietnam flashback to my first discrete math exam... Great video!
That's Funny :)
I watched this video.
I still didn't learn everything I needed... but I think I'm a special case due to my need of LaTeX for mathematics.
Maybe have a look at this one, as it is more specified for math th-cam.com/video/fCzF5gDy60g/w-d-xo.html
Derek what's next series ?? If you want suggestions
1. machine learning really hot topic ( also bit hyped IMO)
2. Security : like basic security series , auditing , web app etc
P.S. Love your videos
Thank you :) I'm making 3 more learn in ones Perl 6, Nim and D. Then I'm considering some mat learn in ones on linear algebra, statistics and calculus. All of the multipart tutorials I have done over the last 2 years have all done very bad. If the math tutorials do well, especially linear algebra, I'll try a ML tutorial, security, etc. I'm also considering Photoshop, Illustrator, and Gimp because I haven't done one in a while and people seem interested.
@@derekbanas i personally like all of your multi part series . I am not sure if anyone still uses Perl don't know about Nim and D (or where they are used ) .
Thank you Sir.I've been looking for this kind of teaching method but I couldn't find any. You saved my future. By the way guys"Physicists don't use Word they use LaTex".
I'm very happy that I could help :)
Perfect timing. I need to hand in a small paper in 3 and a half weeks
I hope it helps :) I did my best to provide an example on just about everything
Derek Banas i‘m sure it will. I‘ve already learned python, java and shell scripting with your videos. This probably won‘t be any different ;)
Thank you for the hard work, I watch the whole video and type in every command in your tutorial at the same time, help me a lot
Happy I could help :)

Finally Derek has reached his ultimate Geekiness.
🖖🏼
Using LaTeX instead of puny Word Processors.
Up next: Vim v/s Emacs
That's funny :) I actually have an Emacs and a Vim tutorial
@@derekbanas I have watched the Emacs one. Great video. 👏🏼👏🏼
But I had to settle down for Sublime Text for my text editor.
Just wanted to know which do you prefer? Vim or Emacs or you use neither??
Sudo apt remove vim; sudo apt install nano
Can you do an in depth video on Input/Output for programming? I always find those are missing from most tutorials and they are never really explained elsewhere.
Can you give me an example of what you want to see?
I hope someone sees this: What's the difference between MikTex and Tex Live? Just learnt about LaTeX as a whole and I can't understand if they're just different programs used to write the same language or different programs that use different languages.
great tutorial. really helpful. Thanks Derek
Thank you :) Nice to see you again
Simply awsome man. I haven't learnt so much in one video before. I liked your accent and the way you explain too tough guy ;)
Thank you very much :) I'm happy I could help
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Going to use LaTeX for my Master Thesis :D
Thank you for the nice compliment :) I wish you all the best with your Thesis
Awesome tutorial!! Thanks. It was a great help for the project I had in LaTeX.
Thank you very much :) Happy I could help

How can we make our References clickable?

ef{fig:prettypic}
If we click on 'section 1.1' it should scroll the PDF to that section.
Also the "Table of Contents" in your cheetsheet isn't clickable, how can we make it clickable?
Thanks for all your tutorials.
🙏
Great pace. And great intro. Thanks.
Thank you 😁
"Coming in" and "come in" are phrases the man uses quite a lot. I wonder if he knows he utters them so often.
I say all sorts of strange things
Great video as always, thanks a lot Derek
I'm happy I could help :)
Wonderful video! Thanks so much! BTW what is the theme you are using?
Your video saved me a lot for College project. Thx!!
Happy I could help 😁
I really love your videos dude, my biggest problem with them is that you don't show the changes that happen with each line of code you add. (Obviously this is just my opinion, so take it as you will).
Thank you :) Sorry about that. I'll try to do better at correcting that
Perfect thank for the tutorial! You explained a lot.
It made sense when I heard it 'LaTex is a typesetting system which is the standard for publication of scientific documents and it's awesome and used very often to create evils'
Can you give me some career advice? I am really interested in Android development and I have learnt quite some things in that field. However most people say that I should either go into Big Data/Machine Learning as they have better scope than Android. What do I do?
Based on what I'm seeing for mobile development the most in demand skill is in AR. Java is still #1 for 90% of big companies. Data science/ML is in high demand, but that interest is in people with a lot of experience. If I was just entering the work force I'd focus on Java enterprise development as the major skill and then learn AR app development, data science /ML during my free time. NodeJS also is a valuable skill.
Thanx.
Hi, I wonder how to turn on the preview panel to the right just like what you have in your video?
Hey Derek, How did you bring up that command information at around 3:00?
oh god, 3+ years of my life learning and using latex summarized in less than an hour. if only this existed when i was using it for the first time.
I hope it helps someone :) It took forever to condense
Much needed video, thanks will watch it full.
Thank you :) I hope it is useful
How can I use it for the final dissertation submission as a mechanical engineering student?
How do you check if you typed everything correctly (the syntax)?
Watched this all in one session at 23:00, i'm definitely going to bed now, but i'll be back here in a few days to tell you if i actually learned anything.
I hope it helps. I did my best to cover everything
@Derek, can you add an annotation about the settings/preferences that you made to change the default view to the view you use throughout the video? As far as I can tell you do not address this. Thanks!
Preferences -> Themes -> Changed to Dark Theme
Preferences -> Preview -> Opening source and preview -> Select Use one Window
Those were to 2 things I changed. Sorry for not addressing that
I guess it's time for me to finally learn math and download latex!
Thanks!
Happy I could help :)

Hi Derek. Love your videos. Will you make some for Xamarin sometime?
Thank you :) Yes Xamarin is on the short list
@@derekbanas Awesome. Looking forward to it as I am really confused by various tutorials online. Some are outdated. Some are on xamarin android and some on xamarin forms. It gets really messy and hard to find what you are looking for online.
Hey Derek :) How are you?
Just wanted to ask, I finished learning Qt but I can't come up with project ideas to program for my portfolio. Can you possibly suggest a way to come up with ideas?
And can I still make it in the freelancing world if I don't have an ideas to implement?
Thanks a lot, I know this is too much.
Hey Exodus :) What are you interested in? I for example used to make statistical analysis software for just about anything. I made a video about analyzing baseball (sabermetrics). You could take on challenges like remaking popular websites like Twitter, Facebook, etc. Make a shopping cart. Find a website you like that you wish just did this one special thing and then make that thing. Make a Google Chrome extension. Have Fun :)
What dark theme are you using? And can I have it in TexWorks?
Thank you for the tutorial, Derek! How can I zoom the typing screen so I can get the characters to be big enough for me to see them well? Just like you have it in this video. Thanks again!

How long is the installation supposed to take? It's been more than 3 hours now
Good question
thank you so much can we get a tutorial on Mathematica
This is the best youtube channel for CS!
Thank you for the nice compliment :) I do my best
It looks like my installation of 2019 Live TeX doesn't come with typeset LaTeX or whatever that option in the dropdown menu is called, and doesn't find the geometry so just prints errors. Texmaker was amazing though. The only part I couldn't create successfully was the table wiht multicolumn that expanded into multiple slots. It had a lot of vertical lines in a bunch, then name, age, first and last on top of each other in a column, a horizontal line and the all the person information in a column on top of each other. It seems as if all that stuff with @ and {} and * isnt working. "{c c c}" yielded a similar table for me.
To be honest.. Whenever i visit your channel i really get confused,, What to learn.. Because there is so many things in your channel.. I really can't understand what to select.. Can u prefer me in what order should i learn those things....????? [Really this is positive compliment for your channel]
Thank you :) It kind of depends on what you want to learn. Web Development : HTML, CSS, JavaScript, (then either Node / MongoDB or PHP / MySQL). I'm planning an updated Angular tutorial. Games : C# or JavaScript, Unity, etc. General Programming : Python, Java, Object Oriented Design, Algorithms, Design Patterns, Refactoring. Mobile : (I don't have an iOS tutorial) Java / How to Make Android apps. I'm planning on updating these using Ionic. Sorry if it is confusing. I'm just one guy and I'm doing my best to stay up to date and move in a normal direction, but technology changes constantly and deprecation hell is constantly messing with me especially in regards to Google tech.
@@derekbanas Oh wow okay... But by the way nobody can do what you do

LaTeX is pretty intimidating. Have you used reStructuredText? I'm loving it.
When I first looked at it I was like how does this work, but then I realized it works behind the scenes to make everything look good. I haven't used reStructuredText, but I'll check it out
