Class variables - First attempt at screencast

January 13th, 2008 |

Don’t expect too much here. But at least I’m trying. I cannot lecture in person but at least I can screencast. :) Hopefully I’ll get better with these.
I need feedback on video quality – dimension size, sound quality, etc. I have a lot of flexibility as far video settings.
Warning: A couple of times in the screencast I mentioned ‘class method’ when meant to say ‘class variable’.
