Comments about O'Reilly Media Gestures and Animation on the iPad:

I'm a big fan of O'Reilly media, and have been reading their books for a number of years now. This is the first video series I've seen made by them, and overall it's a good start.The presentation of the content is very unique with a host and the developer sitting around a computer discussing and interacting in real-time with the programming task at hand. The camera work is great, focusing on the computer monitor when needed, and giving the viewer a sense of being right there along side the presenters. As an educational "series" these videos are lacking a little on the organizational side. I purchased 3 of the iPad video series, and there is no indication as to which ones to watch first. The viewer is dropped in to the middle of what seems to be an extensive app with multiple stages of development. With no outline to follow, or any other indication on the website, you have to guess which set to start with first.It seems the videos are still being produced, as more have been released since I purchased the first 3. At [$] a set, I don't know that it's worth that amount when I don't know how many I'll need to buy in order to complete the series. Also, the back and forth between the host and developer is nice, but the amount of content actually covered doesn't live up to the price tag.
