Oh my lord ! God bless you. I am someone who has electrical background and graduated in CIS. Nobody or no book could explain the terms of programing so easily that you did in few minutes. I even hadn't completed the video...This generation is really lucky.

[asdfjkl]

I know this is several years old, but I must just say "Wow"! I've been developing code in various languages for over 35 years. Your short description of the elements of programming is one of the best I've ever encountered. Well done Bob!

[laurakampf]

nice! i got a arduino-starter kit for christmas and i know NOTHING about programming.
this is perfect, thank you!!

[monkwerks]

I was amazed that you were able to put in a short 6 minute video about half a semester of the Intro to C++ class I took my freshmen year of college (all the way back in 1996)! Thanks for the refresher.

[c.mackay]

Dude. You aimed for a decent intro to arduino coding but ended up giving one of the best overall programmimg intros ive ever seen. impressive as fuck, to say the least.

[shudduptimmy]

This guy is really good at explaining things. He used least number of words to cover up large number of concepts that are included in programming. None useless words used and thats great! Thumbs up for you buddy.

[mhaz]

Best simplification I've heard in a long time.Takes me back to a 3 hr lecture in 1991 MSc class.

[amythinks]

Best intro ever. Short, sweet, to the point. Let's get right into the meat. And thank GOD you didn't say, "Welcome back to my channel."

[DustinRogersinMO]

Nicely done Bob. You explained it in a way that I think even my grandma could understand.

[BenBrandt]

Great primer Bob. Even though I'm a software developer, I stayed for the video :-) You covered the topic well in a short digestable format.

[Picassosgarage]

DUDE! BOB!!!! I really don't know how you do it! I have absolutely NO interest in using an for anything.... yet you were able to keep me glued to this monitor throughout this whole video! LOL! The way you explain things is ... simply amazing! Well done brother!

[Martin-pbts]

A useful analogy I learned when first getting into programming was to think of a variable as a pan. It had a handle and a bowl. The handle was the name of the variable, what you referred to it as, while the bowl held the contents of the variable. So you referred to the variable using it's handle but what was passed or used was the contents of the pan.
So you could have a variable: int my_var;
That is the handle but if you say: my_var = 6;
Then the contents of the variable is 6.
Good description of coding I really enjoyed it.

You explain the fundamentals of programming so well. I'm going to explain variables as the cups of data for the rest of my life.

[LoganLovell]

i'm in a class where we are working with arduinos and my first thought was to come here and rewatch your videos about them. It definitely helped! thanks

[SpecificLove]

When I was in school, I wish I had a teacher who explained programming that simple

[TylerBoespflug]

That was a better intro or primer for programming than any classes I sat in on. What you accomplished in 6 minutes had taken some instructors a couple 1 hour classes.

[bwuest]

Wow, what a great introduction to programming! I've watched your automated dust collection using the Arduino videos and also looked at your code. However, since I haven't messed with code since 1983, I wasn't sure how to program the Arduino. Following your easily understood instructions, I'm sure I'll be successful when I automate my dust collection.

[Frostbain]

I'm a Lead Dev, but I'm still glad I watched through (more of a skim, 2x YouTube speed). As part of their yearly surveys I've been suggesting the brothers Green do a Crash Course series on engineering topics, and this video makes it pretty obvious you'd be a good choice for it if they decide to. Your videos are already clean and professional, but this video in particular shows how well you can simplify and explain things.

[DoItWithJustin]

Thank you, Bob. I learned to write a go-to loop in Basic in about 1985 and stopped there. This is exactly what I need to take my projects to the next level.

[masayukifujita]

This is the kind of video that I really hoped to have seen when I started coding 8 years ago.
