A Video You Have to Watch - XML & Web 2.0
Monday, May 21, 2007 7:05 pm
This is a throwback post. here’s a neat video about Web 2.0 that you may have already seen (turn your volume up for this one, it’s got a great soundtrack to it):
What’s even more peculiar about the video is that it was made by an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology. This Web 2.0 phenomenon is impacting everyone (who surfs the web or… is Korean). It’s one of my inspirations to learn XML. The problem is, I think I have like 4 computer books that I’m reading simultaneously right now and I’m just afraid I don’t have time to teach myself another language. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get an online video course, and learn it at your leisure? Solution: Lynda.com.
It’s only $25/month, or $250/year (or $375 for premium membership) and you can view all their training videos if you wanted to in that time. Though there’s no way you’d be able view them all in a month (or even a year) because they have everything like PHP, XML, Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, the list goes on! They have topics for beginners to advanced and if you get their premium membership, they also offer downloadable exercises. The first few videos in a series are free so you can get a taste for how they’re gonna teach it before buying into it.
btw, I don’t like the term “Web 2.0″ — nothing against ol’ Timmy or anything.
