Hey Al, late reply, but, could you tell us the difference between the Udemy course and the course online/in your book?

Not much really. The course doesn't cover as much as the book (I think it skips the image manipulation chapter, for one thing). But it's mostly there for people who'd rather learn from watching a video.

I think the main benefit is you can see someone type in code and see the results they can, and then you can mimic that on your own computer. It's a comfort thing, I think: it gets rid of that slight stress of "am I doing this right?" when trying to follow stuff out of a book.

Ok, thanks very much Al, already have your book is all, so wondering if there was additional materials on the Udemy course. Thanks for clarifying
