-We believe screen casts give the best introduction to new concepts, so we've recorded
-several to complement the documentation.
-
-There's a [blip] channel that has all the videos, you can subscribe and follow there.
-There is also a [slideshare] site where presentations will go that we do at conferences and events.

-### Introduction
-[This video](http://youtu.be/0i7VpvC2vMM) introduces the basic concepts behind MCollective. It predates the
-SimpleRPC framework but is still valid today.

-
-### EC2 Based Demo
-Sometimes you just want to know if a tool is right for you by getting hands on experience
-we've made a EC2 hosted demo where you can fire up as many nodes in a cluster as you want and
-get some experience.
-
-View the [ec2demo] page for more about this.

-
-### Message Flow, Terminology and Components
-This video introduces the messaging concepts you need to know about when using MCollective.
-It shows how the components talk with each other and what software needs to be installed where
-on your network. Viewing this prior to starting your deployment is recommended.
-
-We also have a page detailing the [Terminology]

-
-### How to write an Agent, DDL and Client
-Writing agents are easy, we have good documentation that can be used as a reference, [this
-video](http://youtu.be/2Xhq_UqnqRE) should show you how to tie it all together though.
-See the [SimpleRPC Introduction][SimpleRPCIntroduction] for reference wiki pages after viewing this video.

-
-### The SimpleRPC DDL
-The Data Definition Language helps your clients produce more user friendly output, it ensures
-input gets validated while showing online help, and it enables dynamic generation of user interfaces.
-After you have watched the video, you can refer to the [DDL] wiki page for more information.

-
-### SimpleRPC DDL enhanced IRB
-Based on the SimpleRPC DDL, this custom IRB shell supports command completion.

-<a name="mcollective_deployer"> </a>
-
-### Software Deployer using MCollective
-If you ever do commissioned work based on MCollective, this deployer written using SimpleRPC may be of use.
-It can be used by developers to deploy applications live into production using a defined
-API and process.

-
-### Managing Exim Clusters
-A command line and dialog-based UI written to manage clusters of Exim Servers.
-
-The code for this is [open source](http://github.com/puppetlabs/mcollective-plugins/tree/master/agent/exim/).
-Unfortunately it predates SimpleRPC; we hope to port it soon.

-
-### Bootstrapping Puppet on EC2 with MCollective
-Modern cloud environments present a lot of challenges to automation. However, with MCollective and
-some existing open source agents and plugins you can completely automate the entire process
-of provisioning EC2 nodes using Puppet.
-
-More detail is available [on this blog post](http://www.devco.net/archives/2010/07/14/bootstrapping_puppet_on_ec2_with_mcollective.php)
