Gosh ... it's all gone quite busy about logging in, gui etc.
Certainly, I would try to make it clearer what is free and what isn't.
But flash ... using that doesn't bother me. Loggin in ... fine ... I
don't care as long as it's quick and there is something I might want.

@Ben - no hard feelings. I do think your post was unfair and would
give people a wrong impression of the site. Plus the lateness of the
day etc.. had soured my mood somewhat. But the point stands, there
were misconceptions I felt the need to address.

I do not get why the level of criticism is rising so high in some of
the messages.
I have nothing to say about more "philosophical" aspects of the issue
but would like to comment from a more pragmatic point of view:

Personally, I faced some despair with a large number of the free
ShowMeDo tutorials, example the one on WxPython, where for the first 4
free tutorials, the tutor hardly progresses to any bit of programming,
and what is demonstrated was too basic, too slow - to hold my
attention.
As a concept, I li

Hi,
I've just stumbled over this (http://showmedo.com/) and being the very
visual person I am, it seems like it could be a good way to learn
about python. However, before I smack down $60, I wondered if anyone
had any opinions on it. My gut feel is that it could be pretty good.
