OK. Now the things are more clear to me. I've seen next tutorial of Burak called Sessions and I thing this one could be good example of good tutorial. There is better file organization using sub directory http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/co...y-6-login/ and I think next tutorials are also good. You can click on the video link in that site to see that video. What I see good on this example: - the tut is long enough - the quality is great! - it takes 200MB space only - the code is long enough to see things working together What I see bad in this tutorial: - it is maybe too much long (56 minutes) - author wasted time on showing how to css style. I think this is not necessary because the css could be down-loadable. In css are some good things to know like input[type=submit] syntax (new to me) - author wasted time on showing how to set framework but he showed that in last parts. - author uses white background, not like in the 1st 2 part, where was black background and that black background was better visible (to me when the background is white, my eyes start getting tired it is too light to me. Watching the long video with light background is not good to my eyes). - author could shorten the length of video when he would prepare the empty files out of record. Just to describe the video and write it on tut site what files organization he uses and to public the files that we start with. Yeah: and maybe just for clarity write a comment on beginning of every file what it would do and where it will refer to. Then to start video recording. So I think when you would like to show to us complex solution sure it will cost time. You could to make the video without speaking and to add the voice to it later... But this could be complicated. Could to save time of video I think but more work to creator. Maybe to cut out the parts where author switches the programs to shorten it. The video above is good example because you can see: if you want to do a complex example it will take about 1/2-1 hour... Important Note I noticed one more thing. The author makes some mistakes in the code because the code is not so simple. And that could be the problem. Because then he needs to make repairs and that costs time and could be confusing. Wouldn't then creator of project prepare the project first and print the code? Then to do the tutorial with the help of printed code... Just to prevent mistakes, confusion and repairs |
