Learn R two minutes at a time

Just downvoted you because I visited the site, only say the short text (I dont use Flash nor do I browse with JS enabled) and it looked like spam so I downvoted. Sorry. Your post here was not too verbose so it mislead me.

This is hilaRious! But, seriously, I like the 2 minute format for learning--you could just watch a bit when you had a lull during the day...

I never knew tutorials could be so fun. I really enjoy the fact that he is quick about it too, most screencasts usually are so slow that it is a pain to follow.

I love this.. I've got to be honest, I think I could even learn to program with tutorials like this. I'm just not very good at learning how to do active, complex tasks, by only reading about them.

Why is this advertisement working on me? I'm usually resistant to ads but I really want to buy this.

This is great. I love the concept of 2 minutes... it forces the author to really be concise and get to the point.

Anybody know of any tutorials like this for web programming (javacript, rails, or python)?
