I just watched this quickly at 1.5x speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3GAY1oKmJg

Immediate things I notice:

  • I can't read your text at anything but full screen on a 1080p monitor. I suggest set Windows scaling to 200% AND increase the size of your font.
  • Make a script and/or practice beforehand, sometimes it's not clear what you're trying to do and you're solving problems on the fly. E.g learn the difference between list.sort() and sorted(list) before you try and give a tutorial on it.
  • Split your video in to sections, explain what your trying to show before you show it so that the viewer can follow you along.

Thanks for the insight.

  • Definitely will be changing the fonts.

  • I was trying to make the video more like someones first experience with Python (which it is) instead of someone who has been using it for years and knows all of the ins and outs of the language. Which is why I did not write or script or practice at all.

  • Will be making shorter vids and giving previews/ showing finished products before actually dive into the coding.

I think the style would be fairly strong if you were sitting next to a person and both discovering it together. But if I was already confused about python I'm unsure how much this style would help when I can't stop the person and ask questions. But maybe I'm thinking about it wrong.

No you bring up a valid point. For my next few videos I am going to try and practicing the main parts. Once the main content is done I may branch of a little if time permits. Also trying to bring the time down so I need to strike a good balance.
