Potential niche in YouTube or other educational sites for #programmers who like to teach:

Refresher courses designed for people who have basics of computer languages behind them and also people who already know the language but forgot it through disuse.

Basically, doesn't start off with explaining variables and loops and stuff, but assumes you know what those are and just spends a few minutes explaining gotchas and syntax for that language. It introduces you to conventions, and libraries & 1/2

and whatnot. It doesn't explain If...Then, but says, "this is how you do If...then in language X." "This is a do..while in X." "Watch out because X treats NULLs this way, while language Y treats them this way."

Problem I'm finding is that when I try to refresh my knowledge, I end up skipping all that stuff made for pure beginners, but I end up missing where they set up subdirectory where imports go.Then I have to scroll back.

I miss paper books. 2/2

And if I skip to "intermediate" courses, it skips everything entirely.

"Today, we're going to learn Intermediate Python. We will write a script to solve Fermat's Last Theorem. You should already know everything about Python. If not, take my 92-part, 60-hour course, 'Python from Novice to Ninja."
