After three weeks, I'm proud to announce the winners of our first ever screencast competition! We received dozens of fantastic submissions. Though tough, I was able to narrow the list down to the top five. Over the course of this week, be prepared for video training on subjects ranging from jQuery to Django! Congratulations to the five winners, and be sure to check in on Friday (Saturday for some) to view the 1st place tutorial!
What Was Most Important When Deciding?
Some of the videos you'll see this week have extra noise and hiss. However, that didn't count against the authors. This was a competition for web developers, not screencasters. More than anything, I asked myself, "Have I learned anything from this tutorial?". Having said that, let's get on with the show!
The Week, in a Nutshell
- Runner-Up: Working With the jCrop Plugin (Brenley Dueck)
- Runner-Up: Exactly How to Create and Implement CSS Sprites (Andres Fernandez)
- Runner-Up: Diving into Django (Jeff Hui)
- Runner-Up: How to Create a Complete XML Login and Registration System (Tim Cooper)
- Champion: Building the ImgPreview jQuery Plugin (James Padolsey)
The first screencast will be posted tomorrow!
