subjective

Recently, I've noticed that I've lost all patience with programming articles, and started watching screencasts instead. 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 considering contributing material, and am pondering the format.

On a side note, I have an accent, so it might skew my decision somewhat. I'm not sure - what do you think?

Okay, looks like the majority vote is for Articles. Thanks!
