Thanks Jeremy! Could you please make this a wiki topic?

Done.

Going to have to absent myself from the live sessions. I tried making the 2am time work but is proving to be unsustainable to wake up in the middle of my night sleep to do that! Will be following the videos for sure, as with the other walkthrough. Thanks for hosting these, Jeremy.

We’ll miss you - but glad you’re looking after yourself

Same here Alex. I really loved joining one of the live walk through sessions, was more fun since it felt more conversational, but 2am is literally the last hour that I allow myself to still stay awake these days. I’ll be catching up on the recordings as well.

It’s 0530 hrs for me. Haven’t woken up at that time, ever.

I plan to catch up to the recordings as well.

Suuuper helpful @Daniel! Could be great to edit the first post and add a link to this one?

Also if anyone creates a trimmed down version for youtube timestamps, please let me know and I’ll put them into the youtube description. (Or add them as a comment on youtube itself).

What do you mean by “trimmed down”? What’s the ideal format for YouTube?

Here’s an example: Live coding 1 - YouTube

If you look at the description (click “see more”) you can see hyperlinked timestamps. The links appear automatically when the text is in that format. As well as the convenient links in the description, you also get chapter markers automatically that look like this:

Basically, you want markers around when each new thought/section starts, and they should be short enough that they make sense as chapter titles. Generally not more than 5-6 words if possible.

Normally I just start with @Daniel’s notes, delete the ones that don’t really seem like a major new section, and trim down the rest to a short summary of what it’s about. I’m not doing it for the APL study groups since I’m a bit overwhelmed with other stuff right now.
