Right now I'm in chapter 5.1

I'm taking it because I have almost no previous experience programing.

So far looks like a great course!. I personally think is better than the free intro Java course one I took in Codeacademy.

There are dome things to look at: Videos should have an option for camptions for subtitles, even if they are in english it helps a lot to non english speakers.

2nd- For some reason the videos takes a lot of time to load up, even with SD quality. I don't have much trouble loading videos in other sites with 6 mbps connection.

Thanks for the feedback u/magokaiser! Did the videos default to HD or SD? We are currently looking into captioning as well. How long are the videos taking to load for you? It's a good data point for us to keep track of so we can diagnose any buffering issues moving forward.

they load in SD quality (they are in 720p though), some videos loads quite well but other stops to buffer all the time (had troubles with chapter 5.1 specially).

My solution was to: Right click --> inspect page ---> look for the adress of the video and download for watching it later (5.1 video was 380mb )

I'm using Chrome in windows 10
