"Dori must have taken a long lunch"Â - by anonymous on 01-NOV-2012
Reviewer Rating:
This is a horrible video a waste of an hour. The sound seems ok for me, but at times there seems to be long silences. The disucssion doesn't match up with what is on the screens. My favorite part is listening to him swallow in the microphone though. This video is a real treat.

"JavaScript Video QuickStart Guide"Â - by AWS on 24-JUN-2012
Reviewer Rating:
The video is terrible. The author is talking about something and the video isn't always showing what he's talking about. I'm running this on Chrome so I would think it would work.
More than I can take. I'm stopping watching this.

The words on the screen don't appear at the right time to sync with the voiceover; some fade in and out too quickly and some of the videos have lots of empty space left at the end. Really bad, was this made by the work experience kid?

"This video is horrible"Â - by James Butler on 22-FEB-2012
Reviewer Rating:
This video is horrible. The person talking is describing things they are not even showing on the screen. In the Getting Acquainted track says its 6 minutes long, but at 3 minutes the narrator says I have somewhere I have to be and then there is just 3 minutes of silence.
I do not recommend this video for anyone!!!
Remove it from the library, please!
