I watched the first four or five weeks of episodes, but I'm still a bit puzzled by who Casey assumes to be the target audience. Granted, this is a really difficult endeavor, but I often find that he spends endless amounts of time explaining trivial things which, if you don't know them already, you'd have no chance of following along anyway. By that I mean, if you don't already know some algebra, you might "get" everything that he explains, but it's hard to imagine that you'd be able to actually internalize it to a point that you understand how it is later used in various parts of the code.

I know from my own experience, though, that it can be "fun" to explain things that you know inside out in (too much) detail because it gives you a feeling of satisfaction and appreciation of the material you're going over.

However, I can't help that for anyone to whom you have to explain high school math episode after episode, the rest of the show, i.e., actual (and sometimes rather low-level) programming would be completely over their head.

That said, I do enjoy watching the shows quite a bit and I still plan on finishing the full run. I just wish the trivial stuff wouldn't receive so much time, or that there was a good way of skipping forward without having to fear to miss something important.

One really awesome thing is that the source code is bundled up after each episode so that you can really easily get back to speed after a longer break, like in my case. What I plan to do is to find the last episode I watched, then download that episode's code, and remind myself of the current state of affairs by studying the code, rather than trying to remember the content of everything I already saw.

I think this whole series is such a cool thing to do. And you can really tell that he knows his shit.

Casey, if you hang out here on HN, two thumbs up for this awesome effort!
