VIDEO: Understanding this with call, apply and bind

Gissur Simonarson — Sun, 24 Jun 2018 22:33:45 +0000

Hi everyone! My name is Gissur. I'm an Icelandic web developer living in the Scottish borders. I've just launched a new javascript/coding youtube channel, and wanted to share it with the dev.to community.

This is my first endeavour at put any content like this out, so I would love to get some suggestions/feedback on how I can make this better, and what you would like to see in the future.

The first video discusses the often mysterious this keyword in javascript. Also helps explain the call, apply and bind functions, functions that often look scarier than they actually are.

I thought that explaining the this keyword would be fitting since the channel is named after it =) I will be trying to do a good mix of core javascript concepts, along with more advanced concepts. Also probably do full episodes on working with the command line, git, vscode, npm etc.

Here is the code, so you can follow along: github.com/gissisim/callapplybind

After getting feedback that one viewer had a hard time reading the text. I've also released a zoomed in version. Please let me know which one works better. Small issue with the zoom at the start.
