It's worth mentioning that via ACM you only have access to books + videos.

Quote from ACM's email:

``` Effective Monday, June 15, 2020, O'Reilly Media will no longer offer the following learning formats through ACM's O'Reilly Learning Collection:

    Live Online Training
    Katacoda Scenarios
    Jupyter Notebooks
    Sandboxes
    Certifications
All books, recorded videos (including O'Reilly conference/Superstream events), and learning paths will remain accessible to ACM Members. If you are currently using content from any of the categories above, make sure to complete your training by Sunday, June 14. -ACM Learning Center ```

  How to draw an owl:
  1. Draw a circle
  2. Print this picture of an owl
No real steps that you're presented to work through like a good tutorial should do. Too much material in the last step that boils down to "copy these 50 lines of code and you're done!".
