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 Steven

'Hello World' with Perl

Hi Steven,

thank you for your time. Since I need to learn some Perl I'll be following your next tutorials. There are few things, however, I'd wish to comment on.

You've managed to teach a little unix here and there without telling so (so that one might think that chmod +x is perl), a little of vi and why you like it (i like it too), and so on, but very little perl. The way I see it, the only thing one learns here is that "perl is an interpreted programming language". The rest is redundant for those who know, and far too ambiguous for a computer newbie to understand.

Conditionals and Arithmetic

I wanted to learn how we can right a program where we allow user to put there inputs when they run the program. The results should be modified according to input of the user while running progarm.

Your videos are easy and explains a lot.

Thank you for your time
