"Great set of videos" - by Kent Damgaard on 09-MAR-2013

These guys do a great job. Often you hear people say that Git is different and complicated, but after watching this set of videos most people should say "ok, that wasn't so hard after all".

I think they do a great job at focusing on the design-intentions of Git and what makes it actually simpler than a lot of enterprise version control systems. They have a clear vision of a number of "lightbulbs" that they want to see above the heads of the students, to use a comic book metaphor, and they succeed in making that happen.

Their Groovy/Grails vidoes seem to follow the same recipie.

I knew very little about Git although I had used SVN and CVS. I thought this video covered Git really well. Very clear and logical progression of material.
