Thanks. I much prefer this format and can't really comprehend why anyone would prefer a video to a well laid out and illustrated blog post.
However your font size is pretty uncomfortable to read for me.
- petercooper 8y agocan't really comprehend why anyone would prefer a video to a well laid out and illustrated blog post It's alright to have your own preferences, but so do other people. Some people (like me) prefer audiobooks instead of paper books, some people are militantly the other way around. It is what it is :-) Kudos, certainly, to people who share their work in multiple media.

- MisterTea 8y agoI have ADD and video has its place, just not in this case. A technical article such as this one is ideally disseminated using a regular web page. Pictures, text, code all in easy view and scrolled conveniently at will. Compare that to a video which in essence is an auto-scrolling page that can only be paused or slightly slowed down. You wind up pausing, rewinding and skipping parts. Annoying.
- XlogicX 8y agoI 100% prefer text/book learning to lecture/video. But I guess not everyone is like us, so I tried experimenting with a dual format. Regarding the font, I never thought to change the ugly gray small font. I changed the CSS to make all 'paragraph' text 18pt (across the blog), for that specific post, it is now black. But be warned, if someone complains that it's too big, I will make it 32pt Comic Sans.
