Video

Want a primer on what my videos are all about? Click the picture to see the trailer for my YouTube channel.

If videos are your preferred way to learn, I have a variety of content for you to choose from. Every Article on this website has a video counterpart on YouTube. I’ve designed them to be easily digestible. Each one, except for the older ones, are about 5-7 minutes long and longer concepts are split into multiple videos.

I’ve also made each video in a drawing hands style. I hope this will be more engaging and interesting than staring at me while I talk.

The channel is called Calamus Press. You can go there by following the link or clicking on any of the video links below.
