Welcome to my Top 10 YouTube coders for learning. I would have to admit I didn’t really get into YouTube until a year or so ago. I started doing a course myself and was looking around for some inspiration. My list is formed from my own opinion. I’m open to hearing your own thoughts in the comment section.
Apart from being quite shy, I don’t have my own YouTube channel because I don’t like to hear the sound of my own voice. If anyone does have a particular interest in covering any of my content then feel free to get in touch about collaborating.
Now let’s proceed with my Top 10 YouTube Coders, in no particular order.
1. Tech with Tim
Tim started his channel when he was in high school. He started like many, learning the basics before learning programming languages. Fundamentally, his tutorials cover Python but he also covers other languages like JavaScript and Java. At the time of writing Tim is only 20 years of age but knows someone that has been in the field for 20 years. I find him inspirational and a role model for teenagers and adults alike. His content delivery is clean and handles himself in a very professional but engaging way for everyone to understand.

2. Traversy Media
Brad Traversy has been delivering tutorials for around 10 years. With over 1.3 million subscribers he is a pro-YouTube coder. His topics cover all aspects of web development including Node, JS, Frameworks, design and running a business. He delivers his content with ease and in an engaging aspect. He inspires me because he has had some very difficult times, like myself, and has managed to come through them. He talks openly and honestly about those times and you can see his motivation shine within. He currently has guest posts featuring other top YouTube coders.

3. Caleb Curry
Caleb covers everything from programming and cryptocurrency to data structures and algorithms. He covers several programming languages including Python, JavaScript, Java, C++ and C. With these in mind he has feature-length tutorials covering basics to advanced topics. His teaching method is fun, engaging and easy to follow. He also likes to crack a few jokes.

4. Chris Hawkes
His teaching style is straight to the point so might not suit everyone. Personally, I like his directness and his passion. He is not going to sugar coat everything and say that you will be a professional within a week. He speaks frankly and openly about his experiences and he won’t try to push his paid-for courses on you. Chris covers Python, JavaScript and frameworks. I find his style honest and very motivating.

10. All Things JavaScript
All things JavaScript does what it says on the tin. It focuses on JavaScript! The tidbit tutorials are explained simply and easily digestible due to their short length. The examples are clear, engaging and delivered with expertise. I’m surprised that the number of subscribers isn’t far greater and would recommend that you check it out.
