We are overly delighted to present umbraco.tv  today.

umbraco.tv is an online training resource with more then 25 videos available at launch - that's more then 5 hours of quality video on umbraco covering every imaginable topic, and this is just the beginning.

umbraco.tv will keep on growing, new videos will be added every month, ensuring that you will always have access to relevant learning materials on uptodate topics.

Umbraco.tv has been in development the last 18 months, based on feedback from more then 200 participants on the sold-out umbraco courses we've put together a wide selection of videos on the the most sought after
topics, from the fundamentals to the advanced, from basic XSLT to obscure c#, everything is or will be covered on umbraco.tv.

Umbraco.tv is instantly available today, with 2 free videos to show what umbraco.tv is all about, one on document types and one on .net user controls.

Umbraco.tv and Umbraco Pro (which was launched a couple of weeks ago) is something we've been looking forward to launching for a very long time.

With these 2 launches we've shown that umbraco is the choice for a cms solution. Nowhere else can you find an open source cms with such comprehensive commercial support,
developer tools and online training materials as umbraco, there's simply nothing that gets even close.

We hope that you will enjoy umbraco.tv, and look forward to feedback on how to improve it even further.

    Just checked out the free vids, this is going to save plenty of people plenty of time!!

    I would much rather pay to watch a vid than read a manual.

    Loving the videos however none of the podcast downloads or source files are working.

    Hi Marc!

    We're aware that there's an issue with the Level 1 source files which will be fixed Monday.

    The iPod versions didn't made it to launch and unfortunately that hasn't been clear, so we've decided to extend everybody's subscription, so they don't start until the iPod versions can be downloaded (ie. the subscription period are extended with difference of when the order was placed and when the iPod videos are ready).

    Best,
    Niels...

    Looks like the videos haven't been updated since launch 2 months ago. I also read that the iPod versions would be available end of October but haven't seen any posts about this.

    @RDNZL: Thanks for the feedback!

    We've actually added four new videos in November as well as iPod versions for a number of the Level 1 videos. If you can't see the iPod versions, remember that they're for premium subscribers only.

    The iPod rendering of the Level 2 videos have been delayed due to technical reasons, but as we've promised we won't start charging for peoples video subscriptions until they're online - ie. we'll extend peoples subscriptions for as long as the iPod versions are lacking.

    A lot of additional videos are in the pipeline, and just like November we'll continue to add new videos in December. But most of our resources are allocated on getting Umbraco 4 out of the door. As soon as it's released we'll up the release frequency of videos.
