CodeProject.TV is Live!

CodeProject.TV is our technical training marketplace that enables training providers and individual educators to share their knowledge through short, high-quality videos. We built it for us because we are bad at commitments and have no spare time, so it's short 5-10 mins training videos for less than the price of a coffee. No subscriptions, no need to buy full courses. Just take what you need, when you need it.

At last check we're going to have nearly 1,000 videos on offer from some amazing partners who are covering ASP.NET, Java, HTML5, Ruby on Rails and tons more. For the past few weeks our patient and forgiving beta testers have been giving it a workout and on Tuesday it's your chance. It's a whole new way to grab training videos. We hope you love it, but most importantly we hope CodeProject.TV helps you.

cheers,
Chris Maunder
