This is a great, easy to understand class that covers not only the basics, but lots of really fun and useful projects. It starts with great necessary knowledge on things like GPIO and goes up from there. It's very applicable to many different projects and aids in lots of learning.

Would be more except I need closed captions. Some of the dialog was difficult to understand.

The material is pretty good. Just one thing I'm not 100% happy with: It says this is beginner level, like no experience at all. My 10 year old son and I are taking the course, and the instructor is assuming a huge amount of background. I've had to stop the video repeatedly to explain what was said in terms my son can understand. He is gradually catching up, but the instructor should not use acronyms or jargon without defining them first.

I really like this instructor. He seems to be well prepared for each lesson. He focuses on his point and makes it clearly. I have been using Raspberry Pis for a while but he is helping to fill in some stuff I missed. Good course!
