don't really need help, just a comment

I think these courses should come with "textbooks" of sorts. I know there tons of info online, blogs, tutorials etc. But it would be nice to have something that corresponds to the lessons. You can look back on, if you forget something in future lessons. Or a way to keep notes within the course.

Well, a few things. First, I take notes as I go along especially during parts that are especially new to me and/or don't seem obvious. The video format is great for this, because I can just pause and jot a few things down when I need to and the resume without missing material. Secondly, did you know you can go back and re-watch old videos, and from those videos you can even launch your old workspaces containing the code you (should) have from following along with the videos? All that being said, I am considering ignoring the workspaces all-together and just following along in python on my local machine, in which case I'll have all the code from the videos saved locally for reference down the road.
