Free Informative Videos

March 21, 2007 10:32 PM

Wikivid is an encyclopedia of informative videos. It's currently in alpha, but has articles on 140 software products, such as Acid Pro, Coldfusion, Maya, and Ruby on Rails, with each articles hosting multiple videos. Apparently, after it comes out of alpha, more categories will be available.

This site looks like it might just come in handy sometime. Bookmarked. Thanks!

The third movie on Ruby on Rails link is fucked - should be:
http://wikivid.com/video/Ruby_on_Rails_:_Introduction|DRY_conventions_and_sensible_defaults|8243
or click here

Thanks for this ohwhydidntidoit!

Cool. I was just thinking the other day it'd be nice to see something like the wonderful video recipe site rouxbe but for tech stuff. This looks like a step in that direction, anyway.

Kewl! Thanks for this.

Incidentally, as it's in same field, there's VideoJug also (previously on MeFi). Not so wiki-pretty but still pretty fine also.
