I've voted not to mark this as reviewed yet, as i think it needs text. Sometimes it is not convenient to watch a video, and when i come to read articles i expect to be able to read about the subject :)
If anyone is voting Unclear or Incomplete simply because these are videos please remove your vote. It's not acceptible to judge information based solely on its form of presentation. Now, if you've watched the videos and determined them to not adequately explain what they are meant to, that's a problem - but you should also be leaving detailed feedback in that instance.
I understand some people like written materials over video but that doesn't mean video is any less effective at delivering an informative experience
The good: some of the topics are interesting and are explained well.
The bad: overall it seems like a guide for early optimisers. Nowhere is it mentioned that your code might already be fast enough. Nowhere is it mentioned that optimisation makes your code less maintainble and harder to understand.
Why every optimization teacher never speak about maintenance optimizations? (aka refactoring and code design)
There are many aspects that can be optimized, code speed is only one, other things people usually want to optimize are development time/costs and usability of code.
I do think it's valid to request a text transcript before this is approved. GameDev.net articles have always been in textual form, and while I am sure the video adds value for many people, I'd like to continue serving the demographic (like myself) who come here to read.
Additionally, without a transcript the video is entirely opaque to search engines like google, which will drastically reduce the traffic we end up driving to this video.
I think I can help you. I often look through various blogs on development and new technologies - because I'm interested in this topic and because I have some ideas in my head for startups that I will someday implement. So I recently came across a great article https://triare.net/projects/custom-delivery-app/ and I think this is exactly what you need. This article describes a startup project with unique integrated functionality and it is just about your topic. I hope this information will be useful to you.
a complete 15-part article series covering various important topics related to optimization of code
i might recommend a transcription of the audio as the article submission.
