Macromedia Flash or Windows Media Player required

Download Flash PlayerWhile I could have chosen any of the popular multimedia streaming formats (Windows Media, QuickTime, RealMedia) I have decided to stream these tutorials with Macromedia Flash, as it is the most ubiquitous, cross-platform media format. If your browser does not have a Flash plugin, you will need to download one from Macromedia. It is free. Optionally, you can also view the WindowsMedia files.

Note: due to the length and size of these clips, a fast Internet connection is recommended.
