I also bought this series.
Havent had time to do them all yet, so far im only at video 5.
I really enjoy it. Although the sound quality could have been a litle better but that is a minor isue.
I have no prior programing expirience, but I was always a bit facinated about computer programming it so I thought this was a good chance for me to get into programing while I can also learn something about poker.
I will say you dont need any programing expirience to follow the series, but if you are interested there are a ton off free videos and other material on the internet. about python.
I started to do and online course in computer science MITx6,0 on edx.org
https://courses.edx.org/courses/MITx...0.1_3x.2T2014/
Its free and they use python 2.7 in all the examples. Its the same version of python that commes with the anaconda pack that will uses in the video's ( although will uses Ipython wich is slightly diferent) So for anyone interested to learn a litle more about python i will highly recommend it as it will also make it more easy to understand what will is doing in the video's.
