I remember this course when it first came out, but didn't go through it since I didn't actually know how to program/code back then. Should I just buy the paperback off Amazon?

I didn't even know it was a course, I just got the book on Kindle. But I'd say go for it - as the other commenter said, it's cheap, and it doesn't require much coding knowledge, and it even explains most of what you do need to know if it's new to you. The real breakthrough is implementing the transformation in terms of fairly simple loops - which as a coder worked well for my brain. A non-coder might not find the advantage as big as I did, but I certainly don't think someone who can pick up some basic coding would struggle to understand what is being taught.

It's pretty cheap. I'd say go for it.
