I'm not sure how I feel about paying for screencasts. I trust the pragprogs and all, but I think I'll wait until I hear some reviews.

I still prefer books, papers and articles. Much faster for information transfer.

Pragprog seems to position screencasts as being like sitting next to an experienced programmer. I don't think it's true. I don't think there's a good substitute for actually working with someone smarter than you.

Yeah, I dunno. I'm down with Erlang but I like examples that I can copy and paste.
