mr ripley coming from jamplay
great acquisition for truefire through the fusion with jamplay. i am watching, i am not taken the course yet, but mr. ripley does a thorough neat job. he presents the arguments going through an incremental difficulty, touching a lot of subject/techniques. these courses of his are very good for beginners as in truefire, it is quite hard to find courses offered to beginners, but then it goes on to touch a more intermediete cohort of students. also the pdf's are very well done. very much recommended
