Companion Video for Creating a Plone 3.x content type

A small group of heathens thought this video would be a really good idea so I did it and it’s about 25 minutes but hopefully it’s useful to you. I wanted to originally keep it under 10 minutes but there was too much to cover for the layman. However I think we hit every target pretty squarely for a first intro/walkthrough for a halfway decent python programmer.

I didn’t edit any of the idiot parts where we have obvious slip ups and it’s all off the cuff. This took quite possibly, all day, and by the time I was done I had my pool game to attend but I rushed and still had to sit for nearly an hour to encode. Then obviously another 10-15 minutes to upload at which point I had to leave. When I returned around 1am vimeo chewed on it for another hour (it seemingly did a really bad job so i’m cutting the video again for rerelease at a lower quality scale so maybe we can actually see it properly through out; if you can see it properly then I already did it). If I get good feedback; i’ll do these more often.
