First Screencast/Tutorial

Hi everyone, as some of you might know I released my first tutorial yesterday which marked the start of my screencasting/podcasting project that I planned to do over the summer.


YouTube link of screencast

The tutorial was about a feature in Microsoft Word that I think is the most underused. I am saying this because when I look at fellow students writting reports I often see them on the last minute sorting out the table of contents by hand which is weird cause Word allows you to totally automate the process and finish the table of contents in less than 4 clicks. Anyway I hope you enjoy it and please leave some feedback so I can try and incorporate it in the next screencast.

Update 31-May-2010

Hey guys and girls :). Hope everyone is in high spirits. Its been really long since I last blogged and this was partly because of the huge amount of courseworks that I and the rest of my classmates had to hand and partly also because I have just been plain lazy (big character flaw). Anyway I had my last exam on the 24th of May 2010 (which frankly speaking was terrible) and so I decided to take a break from anything and everything computer and work related and chill out. Anyway alot has happened over the past couple of months that has got me really interested in doing several things some of which I hope to start as off tomorrow (1st June) God willing.

Heres the breakdown of what I hope to achive.
  1. Update blog more frequently
  2. Start a series of video tutorials (hopefully technical based)
  3. Plan out my final year project and blog about it so I can get some input from you guys about it
  4. Learn programming from the ground up to have a very strong foundation in
    • C++
    • C
    • Java
    • JavaScript(including the frameworks such as AJAX and JQuery)
    • PHP
    • MySQL
  5. Develop apps for the Android platform and hopefully document that as well
  6. And probably the most important thing LEARN NEW THINGS!!!
Hopefully I will even get a job over this summer and get a chance to earn some cash because my freelancing isn't really getting anywhere :(.

Anyway guys and girls hope you can join me in this weird sort of quest thingy that I have got going on. See you later ;).
