    Joe Stump is just too good - the presentation is informative (very) + entertaining at the same time!

    One suggestion though, which I guess many people have already asked for) - InfoQ should put the PPTs for download. It is very easy to go over and recall stuff just going through the PPT rather than viewing the video again.
