If you can get past the really funky new wave music – some very informative videos! I would consider some of these to be a little more technical & sophisticated than a lot of the other videos & channels.

He makes a lot of interesting & BIG projects! Be prepared for a HEAVY accent! Ivan usually gives enough information to replicate the projects he does – if you have the requisite skills & are so inclined.
