Re: what is significance of binder language

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe, thank you for the links.  I had googled with bad results because my 
search words were not right.

Sure would like to see some of our RPG speaker stars do  Youtube 12 to 
18 minute tutorials (that's about as long as I can stay focused at one 
time).

The whole green screen tutorial video thing fascinates me so my request 
is biased; still, the rest of the programming world does seem to lean 
heavily on video tutorials to pass on tribal knowledge.  Maybe we need 
to catch up?
