Preview of Things to Come

I’m currently working on a yet to be titled “For Dummies” book with established author Andy Harris.

I just finished up a prototype for some youtube videos we may end up doing as viral marketing for the book. The final version will be like what you can see below, except that the web page being built will actually be cool looking and interesting rather than just some database table. Also, there will be captions throughout telling what is actually being done. Like “Creating Menu” “Testing Menu” “Fixing Bug” etc…

Let me know what you think of the concept. We still haven’t decided if we actually want to do this or not yet. Obviously we will have to get some different music, this is just placeholder. Also, I’m trying to decide between youtube and google video…

The hi-res version can be found here.
