Thanks for this, Ian.  It looks like the entire series, including "hi-res" (480p) video, is hosted here:

Did you get the HD version, which I think is on the site I sent. I'm just rewatching Part V. Wow the web really is bad!

Just watched the first chapter... long, bad sound, but wonderful. 

I am definitely looking forward to the rest.

Thanks!

This may be off topic, but it is really on topic. If you have not caught up with this video series by Crockford on _javascript_, it is well worth watching:

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/_javascript_-ajax/crockford-on-_javascript_-the-complete-series/

which is about far more than just _javascript_. It is about why programmers are resistant to new ideas, how we usually end up with messes (JS in particular), language design, and subtly why C and C++ are poor languages (and Java as well). Oh, yeah, and why the web is such a mess (just bad ideas done quickly and a great perspective on the lasting effect of the browser wars). This series is well worth watching for the insights it has into our profession.

I think the WO community will find them very interesting.
