[Bf-docboard] Blender Proceedings

[Willie Pierce]

Ill be honest on this I have like 4 or 5 Blender books.  about  months after
I bought them a lot of the material was out of date now with 2.5 most of it
is.  I doubt I would buy another hard copy of a book.  thats why I was
saying it would be better for a video pod cast with subscriptions with
weekly or monthly updates and a PDF included that has information about the
tutorials that it discusses.  I would buy it.  Also if the podcast wasn't
tutorial heavy I wouldn't bother with it.  Even if the Material was being
over lapped or Material that had already been covered.
