Great starting point to learn about shading and lighting, but as mentioned, some videos contain some small glitches in the screen recording (but still fine!).

Huge amount of information and everything is explained well. So far I still feel like a kid playing inside the cockpit of an F-16 when dealing with shaders, nodes etc. so I certainly need to re-do the course to properly digest everything, but all things considered this is a great course.
