OK, I admit it, I'm not always the brightest bulb. As a visual learner I've often struggled with understanding things that I can't see.Just today I was trying to understand some new concepts in Microsoft Server 2008. Between all the marketing "enhanced" terminology and efforts to create slick acronyms, reading up on new feature / functionality can get tricky.
I've learned that a quick search on Youtube often dramatically cuts my learning curve. Today I did a search on Presentation Virtualization and cut out a lot of confusion as it pertains to what I need to know about this technology. In record time I was able to grasp the concept with enough understanding to relay it to others. Of course if they don't understand my explanation, I know where to send them.
By the way, naming something with two words comprised of 10 sylables and each ending in "tion" shouldn't happen.
Sure, Youtube is a social thing, and sure there is a lot of garbage out there, but there are also some very practical and helpful videos available that can dramatically ease your learning curve.
