@jdantonio I had a question about the video lecture numbers -- Lecture 1 and 2 means 4 videos, Lecture 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, correct? Breaks down to two lectures per week? Or am I wrong? Because if we did do it this way, by the time we got to our March retro we'd almost be done with the course

@pzula Unfortunately, the video lectures do not align with the reading lectures. The classroom-based course has 26 lectures covering the first three chapters of the book, outlined here. The 20 video lectures were produced by and HP and cover all chapters of the first edition of the book, outlined here. The eight reading lectures we've mapped out for now until March cover the first chapter of the book and a little bit of the second. As far as I can tell, this aligns with video lectures 1A, 1B, and 2A (and maybe 2B).

@pzula We may find that this pace is too slow and, if so, we can talk about picking up the pace. But the chapters we're covering have a ton of content and problems. Everyone liked the idea of requiring only ~3 problems per week. If we moved faster I don't think 3 problems would adequately cover all the material for each week.
