So far I have just seen the basics, however what I have seen it looks like a good starter tool for Wireframes. Makes me want to head over to the site and create an account.

I was using the Google online version. I was frustrated with the small mouse icon of the lecturer because I would have to watch several times to see where he was typing or clicking. I eventually got it, but as an old man I had to have to search for his secrets. Nevertheless, thanks. Ed

Here's how to use the tool with no thirlls. Probably covered 90% of what a 3 hour paid course does in 30 mins. Disclaimer: I haven't watched any 3 hour videos, but I don't have too now. :)

el movimiento del cursor cuando selecciona un control o item es muy rápido y a veces se pierde uno en lo que esta explicando, podría ser el indicar de otro color para que fuera claro ó tomarse mas tiempo en remarcar el item seleccionado

Better viewed on medium-sized tablet or better. The fonts used in the Balsamic interface itself are rather small and makes it hard to read the labels of commands and so on... Other than that, here’s your quick intro to using the software from scratch. Than you for providing this!
