I am a hard core programmer and I am trying to learn Arduino. I've watched quite a lot of beginner tutorial. I find yours to be the most educative one because your presentation style  is from the intention to teach and not to impress. Really appreciate it. Thank you my dear teacher :)

@Matthew Miller - Thank you for the comments and kind words, and your suggestions. I know the standard is, as you indicate j++. The thing is I am really targeting these videos for my High School Freshmen who have not programmed before, and am trying to make things as familiar as I can to them. It is a balance . . . I dont want to teach them something that is not the way people do things, but at the same time, initially anyway, I want focus on making it understandable. My hope is to push these classed down to 7th grade in the next few years. I appreciate your comments, and hope you will continue to tune in and continue to give feedback.

You are the definition of Teacher, thanks

[Michl]

You really are a teacher! You can explain the basics clearly. And you know how to control through your own knowledge and still tell the ignorant how the basics work. You have the very right skill to teach! Thank you!

OMG, you are an amazing adurino teacher. so easy to understand, I like how you take pace slow. I also like you give us HW at the end of video so that I can review what you have done as well as I can create something else based on what you showed on the video. Thankyou^^. I will go to lesson 4 tomorrow. amazing video!

Mr Paul, I had not had any experience of Arduino programming before watching your lessons. I appreciate your effort, you are the most respectful and intelligent teacher I have ever seen. Go on!

[asressaraia]

I bought the Kit and am following your program.
I can not thank you enough for this effort and the wonderful results we are all obtaining from your training.
I hope some day soon to find a way to express my appreciation.
Thanks a Million.

You are just awesome teacher You are not only knowledgeable, but you know how to teach. I love all your lesson and I am learning so much. Thank you so much for putting such wonderful videos.

As a complete beginner, this was super helpful; Thank you. I'm working my way through the course. This evening (using a 170 breadboard), I did a 5-to-3 blink with two white LEDs. I plugged in a 9v, put it in a ziplock (in case of rain) and then into the mesh pocket on the rear side of my backpack. Worked as a flashing safety light for an evening walk to the grocery with my wife. Super simple, but felt like an accomplishment.

Hey Mr. McWhorter. My name is Devin I'm 24 years old I have no education besides basic high school education. I'm in the construction field and honestly I can already see the toll its taking on my body, so about 3 months ago I decided to educate myself (I cant afford school). I first taught myself electricity which then sparked my interest in circuitry. which has now brought me to Arduino programming and I just want to let you know that you are doing such a service for people like me I wish I would have found you earlier! I'm not sure that you will even see this, but I just want to tell you thank you for what your doing I love everything you talk about on your channel. when I finish the programming I'm going to start the engininering or maybe the 3d printer ones. since I have a printer and I would love to just hear what you say but I don't want to drag this out I just wanted to tell you. Thank you and GOD bless you!

I've working with Microchip for 10 years... I wanted to fully understand how arduino works since is a better approach for teaching kids.Unfortunatetly for me my brain only digest data in a Step by step & "Read and do" way. Mr. Paul you are an excellent teacher and fortunately for me I found your channel. Kudos !!

[rajeshaer]

My son is in the 8th grade and he is crazy about Arduino. IAM right away recommending your channel to him. Great teaching.

[koshakprontix]

I am a beginner and I like how you explain the material. You are the only person who explains it so that I can understand it. THANK YOU!!!

[Sonu-yeux]

I have found it the BEST channel to learn Arduino programming.

[nickwhelan]

I"m a reasonably old boy and so far without doubt iv"e found your tutorials really easy to understand and actually enjoy how you go about these lessons, i believe i have learnt more in one night than a week of trying, i will be following you as much as i can learning as many things as i can, having a background in electro mechanical i can see so many possibilities opening already, , a big thankyou to you, cheers from Nick

[krishnadas]

A real Teacher who really wants to upgrade people, who are interested to know something more in the subject. Love you for your sincerity and broad mind. 
All the goodness to you Sir.

[davidbgood]

I really have had a hard time learning the coding but I have really been able to follow you and under stand what you are doing better than anyone else I have seen so far on the internet thanks for these videos I am learning a lot.

[johnzudans]

Paul great stuff, I remember the old days writing fortran and basic programs, the diagnostics would only come out after punching out the cards and running through the mainframe. This real time capability is great tells you where your error is much better. Wish I was a kid again. I am 70 and will be one of your students. Thanks

[daveboxwell]

Awesome teaching Paul. I am just starting in Arduino and have absolutely no experience in coding or computer languages. Following your tutorial I think I have compiled a program to blink an SOS signal in a red LED and to flash a green LED at the end of the SOS sequence. My ultimate aim is to program my electric start petrol bushfire pump to start and run by SMS signals. I haven't even got my Arduino kit yet but I have compiled the program with no errors based on your excellent tutorial. I have a long way to go in learning and your tutorials are an excellent resource. I love the way you intentionally put in errors so that we can them up and learn from them. Keep up the excellent work. Micah 6:8
