Fantastic idea for a new series. My brother has developed a reputation as being a REGEX master. Developers are always asking his advice with them. They are super useful.
Sorry but I found this super confusing, I didn't understand what the special characters meant or why you were using them, opening and starting a string. Would have liked a bit more context as to the structure/grammar of a regex expression.
I have needed this forever - I have the O'Reilly books but never had the motivation to just get started - an intro is much needed - THANKS DevTips Dudes
Very nice explanation. I knew someday I would want to add a deeper understanding of RegExp. Glad to hear that this is part of a series. Really want to nail this down. Thanks David!
Great explanation David! Nice to see this topic covered many explanations of regex are go to stack overflow and get a snippet... there you go regex lol Thanks for giving a real explanation of the how and why!
Used to be, once upon a time, everyone used the regex library from Henry Spencer, of U Toronto. The Perl programming language expanded what regex could do, so nowadays, languages either import the Perl regex library or re-implement it .. or a subset of it. So it you find regexp powerful, learn Perl and find out what more you can do with regular and not quite regular expressions.
When I tried "end$" REGEX on "match end at the end" in ur REGEX code codepen site , it is highlighting "match 'end' at the end" instead of "match end at the 'end' ". How can I verify "end" at the last one is present?
It is probably a bug in my small regex highlighter. I built it in an hour and have only really tested it for my own use-cases. Try out your modified regex on regexpal.com or a similar site.
Enjoyable Video, hope you will feature non-greedy operators for somthing like // matches "" in " ", whereas // matches " . As for feedback: I really liked the react js series, something similar would be awesome like already suggested. 1) start to finish web app 2) framework like polymer progressive web app Using codepen is awesome, it is so easy revisit the given example :-)
He claims to be the ultra basics of regex, therefore this is addressed to JS beginners, and yet he fails in so many ways: 1- he doesn't explain why let reSlash = /^matchthis$/i uses // while let pattern ="^matchthis$" doesn't. 2- Doesn't explain any method he uses 3- when he writes let isValidNumber = phoneNumber.match(/^[\+\-\d\s]$/); he doesn't explain the basics of the regex itself (which are here: www.debuggex.com/cheatsheet/regex/javascript) 4- he just pops up this console.log(`${phoneNumber} is ${isValidNumber ? 'valid' : 'INVALID'}`); without explaining it. 5- he didn't script this video at all, and he even has to take some time to think what to say. Such negligence. and then nothing, I stopped watching this and unsubscribed. Because you cannot go and claim to teach the bare basics when you do not even touch the bare basics.
You'll have to deal with the fact that he gave away his channel. We're here for content, not personalities. If you still want to watch him, he has a personal TH-cam channel, but he doesnt upload guides/tutorials.

Thank you for this! Really appreciating the new devtips!
Thank you kindly, that is great to hear!Keep the feedback coming!
loved it. the most devtips-ish vid u guys have made so far
David is getting better and more confident doing these videos :)
He is, isn’t he? :)
I needed this in my life so much right now, thank you so much!
great video david, looking forward for more videos :)
You are Awesome buddy, it can't be explain better... Subscribed !!
Very nice explanation. I knew someday I would want to add a deeper understanding of RegExp. Glad to hear that this is part of a series. Really want to nail this down. Thanks David!
Wow, that's a really nice compliment, thank you!
I totally second this! Thank you so much David! Excited for the rest of the series 😁
Good job! Even though I'm pretty familiar with regex I'm excited to watch the series :)
Great explanation David!
Nice to see this topic covered many explanations of regex are go to stack overflow and get a snippet... there you go regex lol
Thanks for giving a real explanation of the how and why!
Any plans of making another series with mpj like the react one?
We don’t have many plans at all at the moment, we are trying different things and listening to your feedback!
This is super useful :D thx for sharing your knowledge
Yo dawg we heard you like backslashes so we escaped your backslashes WITH backslashes.

Fun! That made me look into the history of it - wow, regex was initially created in 1950!
I'm fairly new to javascript and was wondering what the ${phoneNumber} is ${isValidNumber} type notation is called. See around 10:37 in the video?
Template literals! They are the best
Somehow there's a hole in my heart where Travis use to be :( not you're fault David, it's a great video.
Great video!
Awesomw Guide! Thank you!!!
Could you please do a tutorial about aria and aria-hidden
When I tried "end$" REGEX on "match end at the end" in ur REGEX code codepen site , it is highlighting "match 'end' at the end" instead of "match end at the 'end' ".
How can I verify "end" at the last one is present?

Thanks David amazing
Hey, can ya'll do video on visual studio code and it's packages.
You Are Awesome!
makes more sense now. Thanks :D
Wow, thank you!!
Looking forward to the next video David!
have been doing form input validation for the past 3 days, even after watching the video and reading about regex, i still hate them
regex hates you too
i lovei ittt 😍😍😍
Cool vid
thanks very match
Yay!
Enjoyable Video, hope you will feature non-greedy operators for somthing like
// matches "" in " ", whereas // matches " .

any URL of you said 'The react js series'? Thanks

Change speed to 1.25
1.5 for me :)

This is not for beginners. If you don't know how to construct a regex expression, you can't learn it here.
This is hardly "Ultra Basics".
What do you mean? Too basic or too advanced?
We want Travis back
David is more technical and better fit moving forward.
You'll have to deal with the fact that he gave away his channel. We're here for content, not personalities. If you still want to watch him, he has a personal TH-cam channel, but he doesnt upload guides/tutorials.
I'm sure he'll check it every now and again - you can of course follow him directly
David is doing a great job so far...
