New Twitter-Exclusive Quick-Tip Video Series
Last week, I launched a new exclusive quick-tip series for our Twitter followers. What makes this screencast series unique is that they’re all five minutes or less, and the topic for each entry comes straight from the community! As these will not be posted on the blogs, the only way to stay up to date is to follow Nettuts+ and ThemeForest!
Just for a one-time sample, here are the first two quick tips.
How to Make Rounded Corners with CSS and JavaScript.
How to Add a Drop-Shadow Across All Browsers

Hi, I'm Jeff. I'm the editor of Nettuts+, and the Site Manager of Theme Forest. I spend too much time in front of the computer and find myself telling my fiance', "We'll go in 5 minutes!" far too often. I just can't go out to dinner while I'm still producing FireBug errors...drives me crazy. I love jQuery, PHP, MYSQL, CSS, AJAX - pretty much anything.

Thank god for RSS
Anyway, Jeffrey, i was trying to add a comment to the codeigniter ep.5 post on nettuts but it just won’t show up. As if there’s a certain limit on the number of comments being shown.
Any idea when these will be on iTunes (these two and the ep5 of the codeigniter tut) ?
Thanks for the effort
good tips
I really like the idea of these quick tips. Nothing too long, but still full of good reference information.
I hnever new about the jquery rounded corner method for IE thanks, by the way you should do more stifflike this It beats reading any day.
Are you going to use screenr for all your screencasts now? Because it looks really nice. Also thanks for the tips.
My god, just what i’ve bee looking for. Thanks a lot!

very nice quick tips. I really like screenr and best of all its free
Real nice … thanks Jeffrey
foarte bun +1
Tutorials like this also good!!!thank you !!
Great idea – love it.
A small warning about the jQuery corners plugin – it works by manipulating the background, not the actual border.
So if you set a border and then use this, I believe the border will still stay square and the background will curve.
This also affects background images. If you have a body background image for instance and you apply corners to the div, you will get a white background in the corners instead of seeing through to the body background image.
Round corner works terrible in chrome and opera……
Screenr looks good but 5 minutes is really rushed from what I can see.
Not sure if the screencasts can be edited or not, to get around problems you may have when making them.
Some of the ones being posted so far are OK, other are not. I don’t like the ones done on the dark background with light letters, just does not work for me, very hard to read.
I usually like to follow along and type up the code for the screencast so I can test the example. I can’t type fast enough for the 5-minute cast and have to pause it to keep up.
anyhow an interesting new addition to the web,
Al
