Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for Jeff

A Demonstration of ReStructuredText

Interesting! I also noticed that you used Emacs (if I'm not mistaken) and this gave me an idea for a video. Could you maybe do a series of Emacs video-tutorials for complete beginners? There is no material of this kind on Showmedo and I believe it would be a great contribution to Emacs newcomers.

In any case, thank you

The 'IPython' Interactive Shell - Part 2

Thanks! I wanted to find out more about IPython and your demos are nice examples of how an experienced user wields this powerful tool. Great for a newbie to learn from. Experienced users would also probably learn a thing or two.
