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 email us for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-path is a good place to start.

[245] Scientific Computing Using SAGE (2 videos)

a series of video-tutorials by unpingco

SAGE is an open-source project to integrate the best open-source scientific packages under an interactive environment. SAGE aims to provide an open-source alternative to commercial packages such as MATLAB and Mathematica. This tutorial series covers how to use SAGE for a variety of problems.

Introducing Sympy -- Symbolic Mathematics within IPython

Very nice. I have been wondering how to use the result of a Sympy manipulation in something else (lambdify) Really helpful (I'll probably even use lambdify in the next week)

Closing remarks and using dictionaries effectively for scientific computing

I've watched the whole series, and although I'm a seasoned Python program I really learned a lot! Brilliant! Thanks!

Scientific Computing Using SAGE: Introduction

Thanks... it definitively convinced me in using SAGE, for my teaching and in my personal experiments.

As I'm growing involved in open-source diffusion -in a very local manner, I mean- I would be very interested in how to make such video tutorials too : what kind of (open-source) software have you used ?

Thanks again !
