The video is being recorded. You can watch it anytime. Wait for the lecture to complete. Observe the details he is teaching.
It may be useful to understand the concept first then hands-on-practice.

And open .pdf files in acrobat and highlight it in it :slight_smile:

You can search over the internet. There are plenty of such files available for free.
