For example, the ASP.NET MVC site had lots of screencasts, so I watched those and got coding in no time. I was therefore wondering what the community thinks about screencasts and articles, particularly as I'm considerin...

OR
All the code off to the side with LOTS of comments, and a complete line-by-line breakdown in the article
The moral of my question:
Can too many...
I'm currently getting to grips with the Immediacy CMS platform and I'm finding that techincal material / documentation for it is pretty poor. I've looked through the documentation on the immediacy site but there only seems to be simple plugin configuration documents rather than a decent API / technical introduction.
Ideally I'd prefer t...

I'm interested in simple OCR methods and algorithms. And with simple I mean simple!
Best would be a tutorial/article/documentation without dependencies on 3rd party librarys if that's even possible.

The programming language doesn't matter.
Thanks in advance!
