1. The Perfect Cup of Coffee

by Ian Ozsvald added 03/07
To paraphrase the great mathematician Paul Erdos, a geek is a machine for turning coffee into code. And by coffee we don't mean the instant muck, the similarity of which to real coffee starts and ends with the word coffee. Here at ShowMeDo we take coffee very seriously and, in this spirit, we present here a little demonstration from our resident coffee-mate Ian showing how to make a quite superb c [...]

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 Ian

Developing Python Programs Using the IPython Shell

This is how I like it. Infact, this is how most of us like it. Short and to the point. In UNIX programs are usually small and compact and do one thing very well. And so likewise, its good to teach one important concept at a time and then give freedom to the viewer to combine concepts he learns from many different videos. Easily graspable. : )

Thanks.

Wish I had found this resource sooner. Now, though, the other topics should make me able to increase skills faster.

First 5 Minutes with Python

Thanks for the 5 minute intro to python. I've got 2 Nutshell books, but I think I'll be using them only to supplement these ShowMeDo vids. Great job!!! Thanks for keeping it available to the general public for free :) Maybe I can return the favor and make a video one day myself.

Exercise - add a Mirror function to our wxPython Image Viewer

Well done. Question: Are or have you been a teacher?

Also, following a standard "bar" cursor can be difficult. I have found the yellow highlighted cursor to be a little easier to follow.

Thanks again,

Mark
