Please make 90 minutes video on JavaScript(ES6+)

@assignmento 9 months ago

I have a suggestion for your maximum reached students because mostly searching for this video ,,, so make a dedicated fully detailed video on "stripe payment gateway with firebase or supabase especially with deployment". Because the whole Yt is not available even a single video about A to Z deployment. So deployment feels difficult for beginners develors

I’ve been part of the React ecosystem for the past 4 years, and came here to refresh my concepts as the framework continues to evolve. Honestly, Ahsan’s 90-minute sessions are spot on, every line is concise, relevant, and free from unnecessary fluff. It might feel a bit challenging for beginners, but if you’re already a React developer looking to revise and strengthen your fundamentals, it’s absolutely worth it.
