Very Good FOSS Video training site

FOSS Video training site

http://showmedo.com/

This site has video tutorials for Python (347 videos alone!) , Ruby, Java, perl, Java Script, Blender also videos for Beginner programming, Programming Tools, Web Development, Office Skills, Graphics and 82 videos on Linux. Supposedly they plan on making a pay subscriber section in February.

Just a idea...if anyone finds other free sites, add to this thread and maybe make a sticky. This is a great example of using the internet to learn using the power of video.
Linux Mint 9 Gnome, Ubuntu 8.10 Easy Peasy , Open Suse, Windows XP PRO and others.

Be aware that most of the Python videos on this site are not free. You need to pay for an account if you want to view the more advanced topics. Youtube has a lot of genuinely free stuff; just don't search for "Python" or you will get a gazillion Monty Python hits. Search "programming python" instead. I recommend the Alex Martelli videos for tips from a real Python guru. Also, Google code university has several free videos.
