[Devtools] Thanks for the videos!

[Rick Wagner]

Great thanks to Fred, Praveen and anyone else publishing videos on YouTube
for Dev Tools.

These are a great help.  Here's a quick top 5 reasons these videos rock:

5.  You get to see the user's gestures in the IDE/environment, you learn
much faster than trying to follow written doc.
4.  It's often easier to watch/hear technical content than read technical
content.
3.  No need for screen shots in doc, which seems to map to mental context
switches.  Videos just flow.
2.  It's a great way to teach the learner how to do something.  ('Pause' is
valuable here.)  Great for times when you're doing something wrong, but
don't know what it is.
1.   Videos often have sound, which lets you listen to what the SME is
thinking.  This extra context (not found in written doc) lets you gain
insights that are otherwise unavailable.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Rick
