Techtorials - An experiment with an electronic sheet of foolscap

I have not been idle since the last post on this blog a few weeks ago. I have been working with ITworld on a little experiment.

I spend a lot of time sitting at tables with a pad, a cup of coffee and a colleague/customer asking me questions. Invariably I end up drawing pictures to explain technical concepts. How can that medium - the quick paper-based sketch - be best turned into a web format?

Here is what we have come up with. We call them techtorials and they are screencasts of me scribbling and talking at the same time.

Three are live on ITworld at the moment here.

• CSV or XML - How to choose?
• Webhooks explained
• Loose coupling

Useful? Not? Let me know.
