They say the best place to learn *football* is on a *football field*,
likewise the best place to learn **web dev** is the **web**.
😝

There are a lot of places on the web from where you can learn (for ***free***).
1. YouTube
2. Udemy
3. DEV/Medium
4. Twitter (yes, a lot of people tweet about web dev😂)

But as a beginner, it's very likely that you'd prolly choose YouTube and since YouTube has **a hell lot of channels to choose from**, *finding a channel that has a style you really enjoy* would play a major role in learning journey.

Here's a list of my fav channels(and soon enough even yours 🤞)

1. [Net Ninja](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW5YeuERMmlnqo4oq8vwUpg) :

This is my go-to channel for literally anything web.
Shaun has this tendency to ***super-simplify any concept*** to a form that literally a 5yo can understand.
He has playlist on topics, in which he explains concepts as we build a project.
However, Shaun likes to take his time so ***if you've some dead-lines to meet***. This is definitely **not the right channel for the situation**.

2. [Traversy Media](https://www.youtube.com/user/TechGuyWeb) :

Brad Traversy is the ***OG web dev youtuber***.
A lot of people who make web dev tutorials on YouTube have claimed to have learnt from his videos. 
His videos have this ***natural style*** that makes it seem like you're ***learning from a actual teacher in person***. 
He teaches you all the essentials (the ***20%*** with which you can get ***80% of the work*** done)

3. [WebDevSimplified](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFbNIlppjAuEX4znoulh0Cw) :

Kyle is an kinda like the best of both worlds from Net Ninja and Traversy Media.
His goal as a YouTuber is "`simplifying the web, so you can build your dream projects sooner`" which he absolutely aces.
His videos tend to be crisp and to the point, so if you ***want a fundamental understanding of concepts*** while ***killing your dead-lines, this is the best channel*** for the situation.

4. [Dev Ed](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClb90NQQcskPUGDIXsQEz5Q) :

This is the YouTuber I personally best relate to.
His videos focus on showing you ***how to think*** (in terms of both **design** and **development**).
His videos are absolutely delightful and fun to watch.
He is the ***PewDiePie of Web Dev YouTube***.

5. [Ben Awad](https://www.youtube.com/user/99baddawg) :

Ben has been an inspirational figure/role model to me.
He ***builds real-projects*** that he deploys and monetizes right in front of us.
He's also ***THE YouTuber to learn React.JS, graphQl and TypeScript*** from.
His content is filled with wit and dark humor (kinda) and is absolutely fun to watch
