    You often say that you make videos to help people along their data analyst journey because you didn’t have many resources when you started yours. Dude, I want you to know that you are far exceeding that goal. Your videos give me (and I’m sure many others) tremendous value. I started this journey back in April and I’ve learned so much already. I seriously don’t know where I’d be without your guidance. Thank you so much!

    Just a helpful tip:
    When adding social media links add target= "_blank" after the href tag, it will open the links in a new tab instead of the portfolio website's page. This helps save the recruiter/interviewer's time by not having to click "back" every time there's a link

Once I land my first data analyst job, I should find a way to give you something to show my appreciation. God bless you, Alex.

    I studied for all of last year but I never felt like I was good enough to start doing projects. I recently challenged myself to do as much as possible within two weeks. I already created a website and am halfway through completing project 2 (Tableau). I am so excited about the future and creating more projects. Thank you so much for everything you do!

Crazy to realize that you work within 10 minutes of where I grew up. I’m now up in frisco, but it makes your story even more inspiring to me. To know that it took place where I’ll also be looking for work.

    All i can say is thanks a lot Alex, i currently finished The Google Data Analytics course thanks to you and i was wondering how to go about building a portfolio website without spending more then a week. I recently graduated in May with a BS in Computer Science but rather then working as a swe, i was more intrigued on working with data and i came upon your channel and so far i can say the process of even getting a phone screen has been a let down, but hopefully this portfolio website that i have thanks to you, can help me neatly display my projects. THANKS a lot.

      Hi, how it was? I mean you finished that cource and I am curious, Is it worth for those who already familiar with basics of data analytics, especially who finished Alex's bootcamp?

    Help! I'm at this step here (30:15). When I try to commit, I'm getting the following error:
    "Failed committing the files to the repository. Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'rule_run')."

    Thanks, Alex, your breakdown of the process was easy. I was able to create my portfolio with this video.

    Hey! I just wanted to say what an amazing video! Infact all your videos are so informative and helpful. I just had one question. If I want to change/update my portfolio then do I only need to make the changes in the HTML code in Visual Studio or do I have to go through the whole process of committing the changes in the GitHub repository as well?
