60 Minutes a Day Presentations
To enhance the learning experience and further replicate the classroom envi-
ronment,
Java in 60 Minutes a Day
is complemented by a multimedia Web site
which aggregates a streaming video and audio presentation. The multimedia
Web site includes an online presentation and introduction to each chapter. The
presentation, hosted by Rich Raposa, includes a 10- to 15- minute video seg-
ment for each chapter that helps to deliver the training experience to your
desktop and to convey advanced topics in a user-friendly manner.
Each video/audio segment introduces a chapter and details the important
concepts and details of that chapter. After viewing the online presentation, you
are prepped to read the chapter.
Upon reaching the companion site that contains the video content for this
book you will be asked to register using a valid email address and self-generated
password. This will allow you to bookmark video progress and manage notes,
email, and collaborative content as you progress through the chapters. All video
content is delivered “on demand,” meaning that you can initiate the viewing of
a video at any time of the day or night at your convenience.
Any video can be paused and replayed as many times as you wish. The nec-
essary controls and widgets used to control the delivery of the videos use strict
industry standard symbols and behaviors, thus eliminating the necessity to
learn new techniques. If you would like to participate in a complete five-
minute online tutorial on how to use all features available inside the presenta-
tion panel, visit http://www.propoint.com/solutions/ and click on the DEMO
NOW link on the left side of the Web page.
This video delivery system may be customized somewhat to enhance and
accommodate the subject matter within a particular book. A special effort has
been made to ensure that all information is readily available and easy to
