I just added chapters to the second video as well. Who'd knew the simple topic of 'variables' would be 1,2 hours long, and consist of so many topics - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DDKAv57hns

I (finally) started adding chapter marks in my YouTube videos, these video's can get quite long. They also tend to cover multiple topics, because of that this might prove itself handy at times.

For the Houdini geeks and technical oriented artists among you. I just started uploading a playlist on Youtube about programming with python in Houdini. The series is called the 'deep dive series' And this playlist contains a free course that will be aprox. 31 to 32 hours long in total.

(there are currently 3 deep-dive series in production for that new channel)

The first few videos about programming with Python were just uploaded.

This course consists of 5 steps

1 - (Part 1) The Big Picture

2 - (part 2a) The Fundamentals (13 videos)

3 - (part 3) Full Projects (Multiple Projects from beginning to the end)

4 - (part 2b) Beyond the Fundamentals (More advanced tutorials to be used on a need-to-know basis)

5 - (part 4) Contextualization (Masterclasses regarding all kinds of decisions you can make as a programmer, and interviews with fellow Houdini Python coders)

VIDEO 1 (31:37)

The first video (part 1) offers a big picture view about learning to program with python in Houdini. In this video we will not start coding yet. That will start in video 2.1 (the fundamentals). In stead this video will show the format of this ‘deep dive series’ and our approach to learning python in Houdini, in this video we will discuss some known sticking-points for beginners and why many artists find it difficult to learn programming in the first place, and what we can do to solve that. We will discuss what kind of cool things you can do with python in Houdini, how to compare Python to VEX and what you can do to make sure that his learning path will actually turn you into a confident Houdini Python programmer.

VIDEO 2.1 (1:23:21)

This second video is the first video in a series of +- 13 video's covering The Fundamentals of programming with Python in Houdini (part 2a). This is where we start coding. It focuses among other things on the basics of working with nodes and variables. Ranging from Houdini's global variables, local variables all the way to environment variables with Python in Houdini. It will also cover the important hou.node class and some useful things that we can do with that. We end this video by discussing some python variables rules, and the way it works in memory. During all of this we will be programming a few simple example scenes to offer a more indepth intuition about both working with variables and the hou.node class.
