Sometimes slightly difficult to make out what he says due to his accent but I rewind the video as necessary and listen again. It's just a matter of getting used to his accent. Sometimes he covers some of the material a little too quickly for me and I hit the rewind button again. Overall, straightforward presentation and I'm finding it a very useful supplement to books.

There are definitely some pros and cons to this course. As a note, I would highly recommend knowing some form of coding and in particular, TypeScript and maybe React being the two most useful in order to get anything out of this. Elm is different than those but some principles are similar enough to at least make some connections. Pros 1. With Elm being a dead language at this point, the videos work as the versions of everything haven't changed in years. So even if you can't always understand what is being said or what you are doing, it works. 2. Though it is the strangest CS course I have taken where you aren't introduced to variables, functions, or anything that logically makes sense to begin with, the content still manages to get conveyed. Cons 1. The accent of the individual teaching the course, and sometimes being mumbled through makes parts of the course difficult to understand regardless of the number of times you skip back to listen again. It is not this way all of the time as, there are clear sections as well. But when learning something new, it does add a challenge to it. Along with this, the transcriptions also seem to not understand as there are sections that are literal gibberish and read like "mad libs" so there is no help in that either. 2. No clear structure to the course. I have not been left with the feeling I could go off and do much with Elm on my own. Next stop is reading the documentation which now hopefully will make more sense as at least I have some knowledge. 3. Course seems longer than it should, like it's hard to not zone out when you aren't understanding what he is saying/doing. There are parts he says I will tell you about this later that don't come, parts that just aren't talked about and/or just saying you already understand this from a previous lecture so you have to go back. He also uses shortcuts that I could not find to do imports to the top of the page but, doesn't show the import at the top so you have to fiddle around with it trying to guess what was imported. 4. Section on testing is completely wrong. Nothing works in this chapter. I once again used AI to help fix it and, the code change is nothing close to what was done. Tip... I did my best to take notes as I was going which was a challenge in itself and, when I couldn't understand much of what was being said, I still followed along. Once through a section and the chapter project was done, I would take my code in the small pieces (functions ? Still not sure) and dropped it into AI and had it explain in detail what was going on. This helped a lot.
