Thanks, Cedric, for insightful comments about documentation.

I'll add that for me, if the only documentation is a video, I have to 
*really* want to learn about a programming tool to go any further.  Videos 
don't allow you to take in information any faster than  information at 
exactly the speed at which the video presents it.  Reading lets you go 
faster, or slower, or visually decide what to skip, or find passages by 
their content.  Even without hyperlinks.  (Yes, when motion matters, video 
is nice.)
