List of Youtube Channels for a JavaScript Developer
On YouTube you can find tons of learning material in every programming language. Though most of published videos intended for beginners and only cover basics, some of them are valuable for more advanced developers.
To be really useful for this list I haven’t included channels that mostly publish promo videos for their paid courses. Also, I haven’t included channels with only beginner-level videos and every channel that I suspect of violating copyright.
The list sorted in alphabetical order and doesn’t reflect my preferences, but some of reviews contain a must watch section that based on my opinion.
