Screencasts are moving to a CDN – Amazon S3. Responding to your feedback.

April 21st, 2009 Jay Garcia

To all of you who have provided feedback on the Ext JS Screencasts, thank you so very much for taking the time to provide comments and help make this a better experience for all.

Many of you commented on how cotton-picking slow the screencasts were downloading. It wasn’t until recently that I was aware of Amazon’s S3 service, an extremely cheap cloud computing platform.  Thankfully, they are dirt cheap and relatively easy to setup. Thanks to this neat little S3 introduction at hongkiat.com, I was able to setup screencast #009 and screencast #010 on the CDN. I’m looking for your comments on the change.

I am going to move over the other screencasts hosted on this site soon.  I am on the fence about placing the downloadable m4v files (Apple QuickTime) on the CDN.

Thoughts?

Click here to download a 81MB 640×480 M4V (H.264/iPod) video version. Runtime: 22 minutes.

Note: This screencast is using the Amazon’s S3 service. it should be *much* faster than the other podcasts.

Example page: http://tdg-i.com/js/examples/ext3/plugins/pagingToolbar/
