Hi Mr Dan, I'm a member of the BYOL community and unfortunately I've had issues with playing the videos on the website.

Everyone watching this... I’m proud of you for wanting to improve yourself, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Sir your are a legend because no one is giving free advance course 🙏

The key revelation for me was how to structure nested components by putting instances of components inside container components so you can control the contained instances from the master components. Very insightful.

just doing the first course now. moving along pretty quick, so will be on this one next! loved your AE course. had me animating for work immediately. best adobe instructor out there.

Thank you Dan for all your videos!!! Such great material for a beginner like myself and understanding the functions of Figma. I have learned some great tips and shortcuts along the way so far. Looking forward to completing more with you!

I finally understand that in order to get developers to code my designs pixel-perfect, a designer has to set it up correctly so they can easily see the spacing (margins/padding) to be used and so on. Thanks for a super thorough explanation!

You nailed it. I mean you always deliver. I watch your videos most especially because of your composure and delivery.

Hi, Dan! I´m a newbie and your course of Figma Essentials is helping me a lot. I hope to finish it soon in Udemy to start the advanced!

the most i watch Dann the most i like him, i really enjoy his course and i can't wait to buy his Courses and get every day better

Thank you so much. This video has helped me so much, and clarified some of the difficulties I had with auto-layout and responsiveness. I'm truly happy I went through this, practicing as I went along.

So first part of the video and I finally understand the component-instance relationship! Thank you SO much.

Dan Scott, I love you. I love your style of teaching; the best online Tutor I've ever seen. Already finished the beginner's essential's, and now on the advanced course. I'll join for the full course very soon. Thanks man.

I am one of the millions you've helped. thanks dan!

Can't thank you enough. Superb stuff as always, Dan. Cheers.

This is one of the best, if not the best course I watched on Figma. Well organized and super structured. I will definitely go to BYOL and be a subscriber to watch the entire course. Thanks Dan!

Hi Dan, This video is valuable for designers who are having difficulties working with Figma and shifting from Adobe XD. Thumbs-up

the power of auto layout, crazy i had designed some project previously without properly utilizing auto layouts but this knowledge has been a game changer

Amazing teaching style! I am so grateful that I managed to find you!

OMG, this is exactly what I have been looking for... You are amazing! Other people are charging heaps and they aren't even covering everything that you have taught in this video. Thank you so much!

I learnt adobe illustrator, photoshop and now I'm becoming a pro at Figma thanks to you. God bless you❤️.

Mate, absolutely loved the 2 hours + useful content, learnt a lot of new things about constraints and auto layout , plugins, widgets, rows. Thank you indeed.

That was structured differently than other Figma tutorials I've watched, which is great, and I learned some new tricks! I appreciate that it was focused more on documentation and structure than making one flashy design. Thank you!

Right that is the method from Sir Dan!! just amazing

Thank you for the incredible resource. I did not know about the scale shortcut (k) and have been scaling things all wrong. Lots of other great tips, but that one was a real obvious tip that I've totally missed and appreciate

I love how easy and amazing components are!

I have just started watching your videos and am already hooked on to it,,,you make it look so easy...kudos to you my friend...

Wow.. I've been reading comments about everyone buying Dan's courses from udemy. I don't have the money to buy any of the courses but your channel on KZread is just amazing. Thank you Dan.

Hello Dan! I cannot express my gratitude enough for your course. Your ability to simplify fundamental rules and use cases in UX/UI has been immensely helpful. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you. You have made it incredibly easy for us, and I hope to apply your teachings to contribute to creating better designs for the world.

Super helpful, fresh & funny way of explaining! Booked your course.

All the tips & tricks along the tutorial are spot on beneficial to my knowledge in using Figma.

I've bought a lot of your Udemy courses, Dan. And also recommend them to my friends. Just because you are the best design instructor I have ever had. Your courses are so funny and well organized. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Fantastic course! Thank you so much!

ur actually the best teacher in the world u mention the tiny details that might not seem like a big deal but those tiny details are what really sets someone from being proficient to an expert and i appreaciate that because im one of those people that care about those tiny details :)

Awesome and detailed, thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful lectures.. its really easy to understand the way you are presenting especially mixed with funny 😄

Learned alot from it Dan! Thank you for putting it out there

well said... Your courses are so funny and well organized. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Command Shift R -- Replace element with the copied one Hold Shift + Up/Down -- Change field value faster

I liked this. You have a good approach to teaching. I just might sign up for the rest of this course :)

This masterclass is awesome, I might subscribe to course the after finishing this. In the meantime: I learned that 1. Elements in a nested component can't be deleted, they will just hide. 2. I also learned that even if the 8-point grid is a good practice, we should check Material design guidelines, Bootstrap and Tailwind frameworks to know the recommended spacing for gaps/gutters, and that complying with the framework specs used by the devs will make them happy :). 3. I learned that to save the constraints for a component, the component needs to be inside a frame, this way, the constraints will apply in all instances it's going to be used, nice!

This is the best Figma tutorial for me so far. And this is the first video that I didn't save to watch later playlist since I watch it to the end. Haha

I did the whole course. I did learn a lot. Thanks! I will buy the full course now!

Vectorize is my favorite Figma plugin. The prototype feature is by far my favorite, as a designer to see your design finished and its functions working is a great feeling.... similar feeling to taking your socks off after a long day.

I sure do love autolayout but have a bit more to learn about it. My favourite feature that I am really comfortable with is the ability to create multiple variants of the components. Really speeds up workflow! Thanks for the new video team. #BYOL1

Amazing, as always!

This video was very helpful. Lots of useful tricks. I wish I discovered Dan earlier. Watching 30+ courses is a lot. If it was broken down to groups of topics I would be interested. Seeing how you teach it in a tutorial format really helps. Eg small group of videos on the topic of animation. Another one to create responsive website etc...

Quick getting up new tut with current features😃 Thanks!

Learnt a lot till this point Dan!! Love the way you teach

For users having problems with the Autolayout's automatic icon spacing, go ahead and deselect 'Absolute Position' for each individual icon that has that feature selected.

YO! Thank you so muchh!! Almost wrecked my head thinking why I'm not getting it right! LOL!

Learned a lot !! Thank you !!

19:45 you can also double click the auto layout grid box as well and it will switch it to auto spacing too, Just another quick way. Also something that was my "I wish I knew this before" was the design doc for android (m3) and iphones, thats really helpful. Ive been looking for a more specific sizing for everything for a while now so that was really helpful!

I usually don't write reviews, but Dan is the man. I watched through this video, then signed up for his course. I'm currently 110 videos deep out of 200. I couldn't be happier with how in depth and comprehensive the course is. He's taught me so much that I'm contemplating making a 'credits' page in my app to show my appreciation. Best $10 I've ever spent! Cheers Dan & BYOL team : )

Instance bit was awesome

Wrapping and preview feature is the best ones from recent update of config 2023

Helpful tip, changes to constraints on a main component don't seem to copy to instances (it's why he had to keep making the change manually when he was talking about the first task)

You are very wonderful at explaining and the information in this course is great, not found anywhere else My notes: 1- Please speak a little slower while explaining 2 - I hope you can make a video about building a website from scratch 3- Continue publishing what is useful on your channel because you are amazing

Very good lesson. My best wishes to you

thank you

The content is really good. Big Thumps up!!!!

Thnak you! those small tricks I didn't know existed. 💯 One of the unique thig I leart was how we can not make components within components. I was suprise to see how figma threw out the componest within the organism. Maybe that's why I like the atomic theory of making desing systems.

valuable video thanks

I haven't discovered which tool I find the most challenging because I'm just getting started! Yay for Figma and Dan. #BYOL2

I had no idea you had to be zoomed in to a certain level to see elements like 'tidy up' etc!!! bahahah crazy. Also I took sooooo long to realise my mac mouse could in fact zoom in super quick! Sometimes I just feel so dumb and other times I feel like a figma champ! I guess we all go through it... Dan is definitely one of the best figma trainers I've found for sure!

Resources to understand design standards on android, IOS, tailwind, and bootstrap were very helpful. quite frankly, I didn't know where to gather the knowledge from. Thanks.

AHA moment so far - spacing and conneting it to CSS and other frameworks. I had some prior exposure - but this clarified a lot for me! thanks

Hi, Dan! Thank you so much for sharing these great classes with us. You are a great teacher! And if I had to pick my favorite feature, it must be the real-time updates. I just love seeing everything come together in the prototype view while I am doing small tweaks at the same time :)

Thanks!

God bless you sir for this. You are blessing
