Pros

Cons

- Even though it's one video, lessons are segmented and concise. You'll find timestamps for each lesson in the video description.
- It covers a lot of ground. You might start as a beginner, but you won't leave that way.
- The free YouTube course sufficiently matches the quality and content that would be found in comparable university courses.
- It's one video. More than 11 hours in a single session is unreasonable, so you'll need to meticulously track your time stamps when you break or else risk getting lost.
- The course gets deeper into concepts than many beginner tutorials. It can be intimidating for the inexperienced.
