John's an awesome guy. He has a great ability to consume technologies and present them in a clear and concise way. These videos are professional and helped me quickly get up to speed with Angular (the greatest web framework yet). John's videos are also featured on the Angular website. PS - John also has the great pleasure of being a developer evangelist for Webstorm (the greatest web IDE) at Jetbrains. PPS - You should follow him.

What a strange comment. Why is Angular the greatest framework yet? Why is Webstorm the greatest web IDE? I'm against worshiping tools...

  No worshipping. Just (parenthetically) expressing an opinion.

    It's fine to express an opinion, but for the sake of others, could you state why you believe they are so great? And if you really want to help, please state other frameworks, IDE's or text editors you have used.

      At the same time, couldn't you do your own research and come to your own conclusion like he has?

        I don't really contribute a whole lot to Hacker News, but generally on here (unlike reddit) people are expected to back up their opinion. Not make sweeping statements and expect the other person to research if the person was right or wrong.

        NO, he must be spoon fed!

  What's so strange? Angular is the best thing that has ever happened to mankind.

This has to be one of the best ads for WebStorm. I hadn't heard of it before I saw these screencasts, but as someone who uses VIM for all my non-.NET development, I was really impressed with what the tool can do to enhance productivity. Similar to what ReSharper does. JetBrains seems to do good work all over. It's no surprise he's an evangelist for WebStorm. He's doing a great job showing off its strengths. Oh, and AngularJS looks really interesting.

  So true! I bought a license for WebStorm on that end-of-the-world sale they had a while ago and never cared to actually install it. Definitely going to check it out now.

    Maybe get an affiliate link to help support the site?

    I can scarcely believe that I too did exactly this. Although I guess Textmate has benefitted from this kind of thing over the years.

    I tried to sign up for the end of the world sale, but their servers were down and they won't honor the discount now. I don't blame 'em... but would love it if they threw me a bone for something like PHPStorm.

      Don't they offer free licences to people who contribute to open source projects? The did for ReSharper and (something else I've forgotten.)
