I picked-up on an ad (at "weworkremotely.com") for a remote training position, and one of the things they've asked me to do ... and, to do in 24 hours ... was to create a one-minute training video on the topic of "Prototypal Inheritance in JavaScript."
This is what I came up with, in one day . . .
(it's quite a long hi-res file and it's gonna wanna download ... no "YouTube" here.)

. . . and I thought it was "kinda cool," so I decided to share it here.
It was an interesting challenge to do it all in exactly one minute. (Well, the image-only runs exactly one second too long.
) Understand of course that this is a
scratch audio track. But, still: you write something you think is short-enough and it runs two minutes. You cut and cut and cut and ... it gets better. Writing's like that sometimes. They say that the most powerful writing tool is "an eraser and a razor blade." They're probably right.
I'm assuming that this video is
not the first one that a student would have seen "about JavaScript," but that it might be the first, "in sixty seconds flat," video that they might then see about
this topic ... with more to follow.
As a general statement, also, I have been a community-college instructor (for many years) and I find that I actually
miss training. So, if else anyone out there, is also looking for training materials to be authored, remote classes to be taught . . .
