Could someone recommend video tutorial websites for beginners?

Question

I'm not sure what it is about me but I seem to learn and retain information better through a classroom setting where what's being shown is explained clearly and easy to understand examples are presented. I rarely do my own reading or research, but I do occasionally stumble upon some neat things. Maybe I'm just used to the classroom setting from all the years of the education process or it could just be the lazy man in me.

In any case, if anyone could recommend some video tutorial sites, particularly for beginners, that would be great.

I am particularly interested in the following...

• Web 2.0 (AJAX, XML, DHTML, Javascript, CSS, etc)
• Python

Of course, if anyone knows some sort of wide-range, general site for tutorials of all kinds to help programmers out there, that would be great too.

Thank you.

PS - For the purposes of my software development needs I've decided to give Eclipse a try as it seems to be one of the most widely used IDEs in the industry.

Answer 1

For Django (Python MVC framework) try here

For CSS try here

For jQuery try here

For DHTML try here

My advice don't go for eclipse if oyu are beginner use a texteditor. Eclispes features can be overwhelming for beginners.
