Video tutorial site - Howcast

While taking my daily dose of blog's I came across a blog about Howcast. A video tutorial website that provides tutorial's on a number of different topics. From Banking and Finance to website development and a lot of topics in between.

The reason why I liked this website was it provides video tutorials on how to do things. I know a lot of websites provide written explanations on how to do things, but it is not the same as watching it getting done, and getting it explained to you during the process. Just like prac's at school are a lot more fun then the theory and you seem to take in a lot more then when you just do theory. Going over this website for an hour or so I found that it teaches you a lot of different things and is a handy URL to have booked marked.

Another IT video website that is great to have bookmarked is bestechvideos.com which allows you to search the web for specific IT video's from DNS explanations to Active Directory installations and more. For the average home user this may be a bit to much in depth for you but again it is a handy resource to have.

From the Papua New Guinean view point the bandwidth may be an issue when trying to view this website. So I would only recommend it for broadband users. These websites are great for learning stuff which you may general not be able to find a course to learn about. So in summing it up it is a great way for Papua New Guinea's to teach themselves about new things without have to fork out some Kina.
