I’ve been following Rob Conery’s blog for quite a while and a few weeks ago he and James Avery announced the launch of TekPub.

Without wanting to lift too much from their website the idea of TekPub is to produce top quality screencasts to help developers become better developers, something I’m all for. Currently there are five series running on the site, two free and three which require you to have a paid subscription. The paid subscriptions come in three varieties: yearly, monthly and series. The yearly and monthly subscriptions give you access to all of the content for the length of the subscription and with the yearly subscription you can download content in addition to streaming from the website.

I took the plunge over the weekend and worked my way through all of the content in the free series and I’ve got to say that it is fantastic!! I’ve never really been one for learning through screencasts but I’m now a paid up monthly subscriber and I’m really looking forward to getting started on the NHibernate series.

Their plans for the future look good as well and I’m quite excited to see they have planned series on iPhone applications, cloud computing and resharper.

I highly recommend that you go check out TekPub now even if it’s just to watch the free Concepts series, you might just end up a better developer for it.
