[DogParkList] Where's the Overview or Intro to MacLoggerDX Video or PDF?

[Gershom May]

Although - I also some decent background in computer science - KI6VOS - Rick - has very deftly spoken - what I have thought - and said - not only about programs like this - but other venues - as well.
And all too often - the TECHNO JARGON USED by the DESIGNER AUTHOR - is often foreign to the new user - or as Rick said/implied - it’s expected to be understood - without considering the level of expertise - of the new user.
An example - would be - Dr. to Dr. and or Nurse MEDICAL Jargonese. Unless your fairly intimate with the field - it’s a HUH? moment.

I also do not have - generous amounts of time - to wade through - often dozens of hours of “You Tube” videos - trying to CHERRY PICK - information - that will help me understand what others - seem to take for granted.
It appears that - this is common for those who are really INTO an/the application - and spend a good deal of their extra time - playing around with it.
Whilst - the newbie - most often - is confounded by the process and jargon.

Be well,

G-D --- wants - good - sound - Torah Teaching. Not - Torah Teaching - that sounds good.

***In spite of - what may be - the actual truth. Desire - often molds - what we are only - willing to believe - to be the truth. - Me. ***
“There are two ways to be fooled: One - is to believe - what isn’t true.
The other - is to refuse to believe - what is true”. - Soren Kierkegaard.
Knowing the difference - is critical. - Me.

However, if I want to know what MacLoggerDX does—and was less familiar with spotting networks (I recall reading about them in a study guide somewhere, but that’s it)—then this is not the video for me.

What functions does it provide?” We’re seeking a single, consolidated, overview, or intro, to the software…not trying to piece together bits-and-pieces of “How to…” in an attempt to induce a partial understanding of the product.

Think of a product demo…”What is MacLoggerDX for the New Customer?” “What Can You do with MacLoggerDX?” “Did you know MacLoggerDX can do {N number of fantastic things}?”

As a full-time Data Scientist, System Dynamist, Computer Scientist, Strategist, Author and Professor…I have very, very, very (did I mention, “very”) limited time to thrash around trying to guess what MacLoggerDX does…or piece together disjunctive facets (e.g., all the YouTube videos) in an attempt to induce a consolidated understanding of the product. While I have the intellectual capability (e.g., three degrees in Computer Science), I absolutely do not have the time…after all, when I don’t know enough to ask a question…how can I get an answer?
