Course Request: Understanding & Implementing the Walker Class (WordPress)

I loved the wordpress bootstrap series by Zac Gordon. He does a great job of walking through the code.

...however he used the same "dodge" (IMHO) on the bootstrap menu system that I have seen on every single video training series on Bootstrapping WordPress...the Custom Walker Class.

Is it a bit more advanced? Yes. Has anyone really done a good video series on it? Not to my knowledge (unless i'm searching the wrong queries). But, when learning theme development, the ability to wrangle the Custom Walker Class is really a must have skill.

It is time we stop kicking this can down the road. Time for someone to step up to the plate and spread illumination upon the heaving masses of us greenhorns who scuffle around in Custom Walker Class darkness!

What say you!?!

We need a comprehensive course on Understanding & Implementing the Walker Class (WordPress).

...that's my story and i'm sticking with it!

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this can give you an idea on the walker class:

...worth a shot, will give it a good read. But a video "deep dive" is really what I'm suggesting.
