Nowadays, no matter how much effort one puts toward learning a tool, it is always not enough, or ona will forget soon unless it turns to be a day to day tool, and only under certain non-abundant favourable-learning conditions. Videos online , easily accessible, non-nonsense, showhing all: benefits, workflows, features, workarounds, etc., are invaluable, Khan or youtube are mor or less the same when you need to learn *now*. > > But if no one is willing to make those, at least the website could > > include an in-website video to some of the already existing ones such > > as: > > > > Leo: A Paradigm shifting IDE > > <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgJ89ekGj-s> (Which btw has a very > > catchy name) > > One man's opinion: This video isn't an asset for Leo.

I agree in every point. It nothing personal towards the guy doing the presentation. It's just that the video needs to be used as a "script" (in the film-industry sense) to do a 15 minute better video. The effort put there is notoriously huge, and at least for me, it gets me very emotional, and interferes the ability acquisition process. Not that there are recipes or better ways to do videos, but at least when one youtube's for Leo editor, there shoul pop up more thatn 20 non-nonsense , to-the-point videos, but they are not there. The gut-level sensation that I get is: there are people benefit a lot for what can be done with this tool, but they are not sharing it in a easy way. > > > > or > > > > Leo: Intro to outline > > manipulation<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu6J-J0qFi0> > > Yeah, this is what I was talking about.
