About

Hosted by Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski since 2017, Syntax has published over 900 podcast episodes on full-stack web development, covering everything from HTML, CSS, JavaScript, server side languages, databases, deployment environments, and more. In 2023 Syntax.fm joined forces with Level Up Tutorials adding 2000+ free video tutorials to our library. Wes Bos is co-host of Syntax and a web development educator. Constantly learning, he creates web development courses focused on JavaScript, TypeScript, React, CSS, Node.js and whatever else comes his way. Scott Tolinski is co-host of Syntax and the creator of Level Up Tutorials. In his free time Scott is a dedicated Bboy (breakdancer) & enjoys pushing himself athletically through dance, working out and snowboarding. CJ joined the team to help make YouTube videos that dive deeper into topics covered on the podcast. He is a full stack software developer and the host of Coding Garden. Syntax is brought to you by Sentry (https://sentry.io)
