Methods To Succeed

ScreenCastsOnline is a weekly video podcast of computer based video tutorials. The video tutorials are in the form of “screencasts” which are videos of screen captures demonstrating a particular application, product or service, with a spoken commentary explaining what’s happening on the screen. It’s a really easy and brilliant way to learn all about new applications and how to get the most out of your Mac. The video tutorials cover many different topics from week to week but predominantly cover mac related subjects together with the latest web based services, but there are plenty of shows for mac and windows users!

ScreenCastsOnline is unique in that it is one of the very few non-US centric mac based podcasts! It’s hosted by Don McAllister from of the UK. The show has been running since August 2005 and to date has produced over 250+ screencasts.

As well as the free shows each week, Don also runs a membership scheme called ScreenCastsOnline Extra! You might want to check out all the Extra! goodies you get from a membership!

There’s now a special page just for new Mac users which takes you through all the shows you need to catch up on, presented in a logical order. This enables you to see which shows out of the 250+ screencasts will be most beneficial to get you up to speed really quickly. But please be aware that some of the older shows are only viewable by Extra! members but there are a number of free shows still viewable.

ScreenCastsOnline shows are recorded in Apples popular Quicktime format and will play both on and Mac computers. You can use either iTunes or Miro Player or any other video player that supports Quicktime to play the shows. You can even play them directly from the ScreenCastsOnline site by going to the “Tutorials” page.

I can’t recommend ScreenCastsOnline highly enough. They’re professionally produce, high quality video training content that’s both informative and very approachable. Click here to get straight into all the goodness that is ScreenCastOnline!
