They are fairly decent videos, especially for the price. :-) If you are
advanced, you will not likely find a lot of useful content, but they are
great for learning.

If you want to sample some, Scott Guthrie had links to some free videos on
his blog. I do not have the URL right now.

Its "snoozeware " and hard to stay awake while watching. There's no
interactivity meaning no copy and paste. The lessons may now be indexed
allowing fast forward or rewind but when your head starts bobbing up and
down as you fall asleep the lessons can only be put on pause but not saved
or bookmarked for future use. All kinds of other usability shortcomings.

That said, that is all due to the lame state of software applications
intended to be used for teaching over the web and the ability to pay for
better tools than can be used to teach over the web more efficiently. Using
the cheap stuff which has been used to develop LearnVisualStud io.net is
outstanding for very short presentations but it really puts a cramp on an
otherwise decent effort to teach ASP.NET using the web as a classroom. When
all is said and done the results are quite marginal and you'll be compelled
to move on and get back into the books, the web and the newsgroups.

Looking for opinions on a C technique

I'm looking for opinions on a C technique I, and others, have used successfully in the past. While some people swear by, apparently others swear at it.

Also assume for various reasons module A needs a private data store with static storage duration, accessible from files in more than one translation unit. ...

Opinions: Warn about online registration checks?

Hi, I would like opinions on a shareware issue. If shareware uses an online database to hold registration codes, which get copied locally and therefore only needs to check online if the shareware is not yet registered or if the registration code was lost, should there be an "Is it okay to go get your lost registration code?" message box? I've been told that certain firewalls will disallow everything until you've allowed it. I imagine...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
