Sorry, but I don't see the attraction of those videos at all.

They just show someone typing in code and checking his browser to look at a list of plain-text links.

What exactly is the big deal here?

Watching paint dry could hardly be less exciting.

The videos were a lot easier to digest than reading the first few chapters of some lisp book, but I understand that if you aren't excited by learning about new languages, then this would seem dull.

I do like learning about new languages. But I learned nothing from the videos.
