As someone who has coded for 20 years but has zero electronics experience, this was exactly the jumping off point i needed. Clear, simple and informative. Thank you!
The resistor and LED are in series, so functionally they could go either way. I wasn't thinking about it much at the time, but perhaps one reason to put the LED before the resistor is to make it easier to measure the current by measuring the voltage across the resistor, which is a little easier to do when the resistor touches ground.

Nick is the man! I really hope this channel grows tremendously.
He is quite literally the best teacher I’ve ever come across.
I'm just getting started with the pico and breadboards and this was a great intro, thanks! Audio / video / perspective were all great!
why do you put the resistor before the led?

thank for the video,
it is really help to start learn the pi pico
