Thread: Simple Windows 8 Tutorials

These are great, easy to follow tutorials. These are what should be played during the Windows 8 installation, not that stupid little cut scene telling you to swipe to the right side, etc. to bring up charms and what not.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the feedback glad you like the Windows 8 tutorials. I prefer hands on examples personally with someone guiding me through a process or function. It would have eliminated a lot of confusion if they had included some videos to introduce the Operating System showing the basic mechanics of how things work.

This is called visual learning. It is why I tried to make a broad emphasis of it with Windows 7. What can't be read can be seen. From a very technical and human standpoint, you are making up for a lot of work I can't do without FRAPS. I find Camtasia to be extremely cumbersome and the VMWare Workstation screen recorder is hell on wheels for me, especially when it occasionally still makes corrupt movie files on extremely long, highest quality recordings. Eventually, I will get back into it, but I am endlessly waiting for FRAPS to come back to the fray, which, I believe, it will. Some of my best videos have been done with overdubs, without overdubs... the ones that really mattered got a lot of views, and if that helped people I am extraordinarily pleased.

I believe your tutorials are an asset to the entire Windows community and as a 2x Microsoft MVP and 7x certified IT professional, I think it is great what you are doing. No one should have a capitalization on knowledge or information. You are giving people a chance to get over the curve. Great job!

Thanks, it really means a lot coming from a Microsoft Professional. I think it is important to share knowledge to benefit the overall growth of everyone. I learn a lot from others and share what I learn from others its kind of like a cycle of sharing knowledge that never ends.
