Video Tutorials Needed – Make A Video!

Filed under: Announcements — Marcus Tettmar @ 11:01 am

We need to add more video tutorials. There are thousands of forum posts, blog posts and articles on this site but so far we’re shamefully low on video tutorials.

So I need your ideas. I’m not very good at coming up with contrived examples and I’m also the kind of person who learns by doing, so perhaps that’s why I struggle to come up with training guides and videos.

So, you can do one of two things:

1) Send me your ideas for a video. Don’t be too vague. Videos need to be short, so it needs to be fairly specific. Saying “Do a video on dialogs” is not that helpful. Which bit of dialogs? But remember that not everyone has the same applications, so any example needs to be reasonably generic. I can’t do a video on “automating SAP” for example. That’s actually TOO specific.

OR

2) Create a video yourself! All you need is the free version of Jing and a microphone. Assuming we think your video is appropriate we’ll put it on our site on the video tutorials page with your bio and web link if you have one (so you can promote your services if appropriate). We’ll also reward all contributions with free licenses/updates. You could even make a name for yourself!

Email me your ideas or contributions here.
