I have been meaning to blog about this one. Sean McCown has a blog called the Midnight DBA with a huge series of screencasts. I think like 12 hours total.
“When the kids go to sleep I stay up to make videos.”
All free and downloadable. Good topics. The site is here and you can subscribe to the RSS here.
Sean also blogs for InfoWorld at the Database Underground. Some nice editorials to be found. The RSS subscription can be found here.
