    The concept is great!  The speaker comes across as if he was a professional announcer.  The presentation of the subject was very well done.

     

    However, my overall impression was that I disliked it.  This hit me as a snip-it like you would see on a movie preview/trailer.  It is nothing more than a good marketing opportunity about a new feature.  It is not going to replace reading a technical reference manual.  It is not a pointer to a more in-depth white paper on the subject.  And, it clearly lacks the needed substance and detail to qualify it as education on the new feature. I don't understand why it's intent is to become part of DocOps it seems completely out of place. 

     

    Snip-its of this nature with minimal detail would be great as a single bullet that is part of a product release announcement though. 

     

    Clips of this nature that are 10-30 minutes in length providing terminology, concepts, diagrams, purpose, detail, usage with before and after output is exactly what CA Datacom education has needed for the past 10-15 years.  In-depth subject material on demand that covers the basics to advanced subject material from A to Z at no additional cost to the customer. The goal is to make new customers become operational ASAP and to make the DBA a S.M.E. as quickly as possible for the site.
