Kudos and Thanks for Jeff
Hi Jeff,
I was looking for video-handling inside python, so i googled python+video, and i bumped into the screencasts of python. I am certainly going to watch more screencasts, because they kind of summarize the huge amount of available documents. In our company we maintain a wiki about python-stuff, and i am going to add several links to video-screencasts for inside-educational purpose to guide new python-collegues into the python-world.
Thanx,
John Hendriks,

John Hendriks 7 days agoDoing screencasts is a totally new topic for me, I explore it in the course of a technical writer training. So I research the internet a lot .
My native language is German.
The flow of words was a bit too fast for me as a non-native speaker. However, I got a lot of input which i appreciate very much. Thank you!
Kind regards from Austria
Amelia Kornberger 14 days agoenjoyed it ; well done. IF you ever in Singapore i buy u a beer !
thiamwah 15 days agoEnjoyed the first one very much. Thanks a lot. One very tiny comment: You mentioned that you used emacs as your editor, how did you change it from vi?
John Battle 19 days agoGreat little video. I don't know about others but I didn't know that and I'm sure it's gonna help me in the near future!
kh 19 days agoVery handy and informative introduction. Thanks!
Daragh N 19 days agoThank you for this realy good introduction in casting.
Andrey Beshkov 20 days agoCongratulations, very good explanation ... Thank you
Vanessa 21 days agoThanks for the startup info. Very helpful - I'm a Matlab user trying to add Python to my repertoire.
Mark Campanelli 22 days agoExcellent content. Will definitely get into screencasts now.
Gary 25 days agoNice Video. Good example on real life list comprehension.
Mike Weerasinghe 28 days agoThanks! I've really been enjoying these presentations!
anonymous 41 days agoGreat Video Jeff!
Very useful, informative, and professional.
Good Job!
anonymous 41 days agoJeff, I'm looking for an IDE that can help my son learn to program. This looks interesting; I'll give it a shot! Thanks.
anonymous 41 days agogreat for a first survey - thx a lot
anonymous 42 days agoVery useful and thanks for the information.
anonymous 46 days agoThanks for your efforts. Looks like it has many of the same but also advantages over python-mode.el within emacs -- espec. if like me you are too lazy and slow to learn and forget more general emacs utility.
Nice clear presentation. Didn't quite grasp how starting with -pylab would be different than importing pylab, but it all looks great -- especially integration with pdb and profiler.
Now to figure out how to replace the regular emacs python mode with the ipython one!
anonymous 49 days agothank you ver much from maldive islands
anonymous 51 days agoI've been a python user since 1999, but for some reason have never got to grips with the ipython shell. The book Python for unix an dlinux system administration got me interested. I can't tell you the number of scripts I have written just to open a simple file from the command line and do some per line manipution. Being able to freely mix python and the command line is pretty exciting, I'm really enjoying your tutorial videos on this, thanks!
anonymous 52 days agoGreat presentations! I can't wait to see the rest!
anonymous 54 days agoBrilliant. Thanks again! Keep up the great work.
anonymous 2 months agoFantastically helpful! Thank you for these videos. I'm a physicist and therefore am faking it in coding, but have found python fantastic, and can't believe I'm only discovering ipython now! Your videos are making the transition that much easier.
anonymous 2 months agoa good demonstration - would have taken me at least a couple of extra hours to work out on my own. Thankyou.
anonymous 2 months agoWow! I never realized iPython was so sophisticated! I watched all of your great screencasts and although I have to start digging through it myself now, I really enjoyed getting a very efficient introduction to ipython's capabilities. Thank you very much!
anonymous 2 months agoI'm just getting into iPython, and I know I'm only scratching the surface. Thanks for letting me know what to look forward to.
anonymous 2 months agoThis is awesome ! I did get a great overview on IPython by following your session.
anonymous 2 months agoI really enjoyed your presentation of what is available in the PIL package. I am a frequent user of ImageMagick and Perl and have just recently begun using Python in place of Perl. I am exploring removing ImageMagick all together and your brief informational helped. Thanks
anonymous 3 months agoGreat job! You were very easy to understand and went at a nice pace. You could try to make it a little more interesting somehow (its programming, i know :P), but thats really the only thing I could pluck out.
anonymous 3 months agoThank you, I am starting with python and after seeing these videos I think I'll explore the language with ipython.
anonymous 3 months agoI did find the video educational and did like the detail. One thing I would have liked to see was an example of the last modification to the program (where the class was added). thanks.
anonymous 3 months agoNice demo of ReStructuredText - ideal for me fishing around for a better way to write my technical documents and wondering if this is it - you've given me a good feel for what I can expect. Suitably inspired I'll now give it a go...
anonymous 3 months agoGood, informative and easy to follow. Thanks.
anonymous 3 months agoThanks for the high quality tutorials on this site.
anonymous 4 months agoThis is quite informative, as I have been looking to write restructuredtext using emacs. Can you elaborate abit more about using emacs and the hot keys to render the text into HTML or PDF or slides?
Thanks you
anonymous 4 months agoA quick and effective intro into Twisted. Good work.
anonymous 4 months agoVery good -- Well thought out and presented -- Perfect amount of detail.
anonymous 4 months agoThanks for these screencasts on screencasting techniques. Have you run across any new tools recently?
anonymous 4 months agoThis was interesting enough that I am encouraged to investigate the PIL. I need to 'thin out' large images, ie to produce an image that looks more or less the same as the original, but much smaller in byte-volume terms. (Reducing color palettes and pixel depth, removing every other pixel, or whatnot.) Looks like the PIL might have all I need. Thanks for the video.
anonymous 5 months agoReally enjoyed ipython video 1/5...eye opening stuff. e.g. the ability to open the source of a function in a text editor like "edit -x re.match" is awesome...
anonymous 5 months agoVery informative, I hope the ipyhton learning curve is not to steep.
anonymous 5 months agoNever new about this form of document compilation. Very nice and simple to learn.
anonymous 5 months agoThis is exactly what I was looking for. Now... how to use it.
anonymous 5 months agoVery good summary of restructured text which is what I was looking for. Very good presentation of the material etc.
anonymous 5 months agoThank you for make your tutorial available and congratulations, it is very good!

Excellent. It would be usefull some information about where to find videos on audio and video compression formats and other especific technical topics. Thanks.
