Phoenix	Many complain that the "tutorials" which often appear everywhere on the net, covering just about anything, are the flaws of the interwebz. This is partly true. It happens that people write these guides when they are not experts in the subject, consequently spreading misinformation (a crime which I've been guilty of in the past). Notwithstanding, I don't think they're all that bad. It is often possible to have a quick look at them when you're new, pick up on the basics, and work your way from there. The information doesn't have to be 100% right to me, just enough to get me going on my own. Nowadays, text is outdated. Everyone's doing video tutorials. How am I supposed to skim through a video tutorial? Ignore every other frame? Why be doomed to listen to some depressed and tired voice and watch some random person's desktop? I can see the benefits in having a video about drawing and such, but technology? Give me a block of text, let me pick the bits I want, hand me some formulas or some code. I don't want to see you pressing backspace. What do you feel about video tutorials, and tutorials in general? \|edit\| I should really rewrite that memory article or delete it... \|edit\|

Jayenkai	Indeed. And not just tutorials, either. Why must I sit through 3 hours of your photos on Youtube, when I could flick and click my way through a highresolution gallery of photos? Takes the mickey. Youtube has taken over so many things, that it's getting hard for people to remember how much easier things used to be. Silly sheep! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Spare	Thanks to the C# video tutorials on the Microsoft or MSDN site, can't remember which of them it was...(originally learnvisualstudio.net tuts) I could very quickly switch from visual basic to C# so I could easily see all differences between those languages. I was very happy with those videos, but those are made by professionals.
