Create a slideshow using HTML5 , CSS3 and jQuery by @alexendre-maxim [video-tutorials]
Image source
@alexendre-maxim submitted a very straightforward video tutorial on how to create a slideshow using html5/css3/jquery. The tutorial started from scratch and concluded with a final working product. He showed many tweaks and adjustments throughout the tutorial, and took time to explain a great deal of what he was doing so learners would understand the process. When an error was detected in the code, he would explain why the error was there and how he was able to fix it.
This was a very nicely done tutorial and learners will benefit from the methodical approach to teaching the topic.
