+1 for Tyler and his courses. There's something great about the way he presents the knowledge I can't quite put words to. He manages to "pull back the curtain" just enough to satisfy my curiosity without allowing me to go down a tangent path of little details that contextually don't matter until later. His frank demeanor instilled a lot of trust in me from the get-go, as well, which in turn left me satisfied when he says things like, "that doesn't matter right now -- we'll get back to that when it's important." Usually in tutorials or classes it's either high or low of that mark -- either I don't believe I will end up learning about some hidden principle that ends up being important, or I'll have way too much depth dumped on me and I'll be lost.
