Hi Bob, I actually liked the latest video with the J session at the left and the explanation on the right.
I'm quite surprised with what you did with Keynote and I'm intrigued if I can do it with Powerpoint 2007. Actually, my boss asked me again to give a J training (using a lot of primitives) to our developers the whole month of March. I was a pleasant surprise on how you explained scalar and vector operations ... I never explained it that way and I believe it is much clearer (I'm going to steal your idea ... bwahahahahahaha) and conveys the message across much better than how I do it. On an irrelevant note, while watching the video (while using a noise canceling headphones) it felt eerie with no sound. I guess if I'm using it, I'll just provide the real time voice over. ;) Thanks for posting the video. r/Alex On Feb 23, 2010, at 7:49 AM, bob therriault wrote: > Hi Alex (I've enjoyed your posts for years), > > I was thinking this might be a useful aid for the NuVoc vocabulary pages > being developed on the Jwiki as a reference.
