This is a fantastic idea.

Did you go into the project planning to build the screencast, or was it a secondary effect of realizing that you were learning so much as you went along?

The idea kind of came along when I was extracting Gallery CSS from the project that I built it for — I realised that people probably wouldn't understand the library, or the need for it… but I didn't want the cool tech result to go unnoticed.

Originally it was going to be an ebook… if I'd have done that, it would've been released about 3 weeks ago, but the knowledge transfer is far more challenging VS a screencast.

Will you release any statistics about how many people downloaded Gallery CSS and how many bought the screencast?
As long as its not too embarrassing :-)
Isn't that cool? I did my entire operating system with super simple stuff. I'm a genius.

God says... largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

4:30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

4:31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.

4:33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

This is so ironic. Lazy bums.

You get out of prayer exactly what you put into it, God said -- barter.

I'd recommend the screencast to anyone interested in frontend dev. Of high quality and very informative, taken at a good pace, well worth the $12.
Nice idea, and an O'Reilly disruptor if it catches on.
