AAwww, now you're just teasing us

Would you feel inclined to make a youtube tutorial? I have tried to get FPC working on my Macbook but it just became a too frustrating to do anything meaningful - e.g., using opengl or sdl - neither of which i have used in the past

"Video tutorials" is not mine... and I don't like such tutorials, this is not for true programmers at all I will update my wiki this week with new scripts for building fpc(for iOS SDK 4.3) and new steps with screens. Templates used by me with XCode4 I have got from here. Very useful articles BTW

PS: now I have a bit free time, so I will try to prepare new public version of ZenGL. And iOS support have been tested not only by me, so... new release just waiting when I will beat my laziness

I've also read that readme files isn't for real programmers either, but where are those programmers now?

I think Video Tutorials just take advantage of an extra medium. You get to see whats going on in the desktop that you couldn't see unless you were actually there. Anyone have a plane ticket to the Ukraine?

Seriously I don't see how it's bad, unless you have a horrible kackle. The Germans seem to pull off a perfectly good video explaining their own projects. Then again it is nice to see visual demos of what your project is doing. Darthman does a great job with this for example. It also gets more people interested in your project, and for that alone it should be worth it.

Just a few tips from a guy who has learned a few things over the past 10 years.
