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.

This video explains a simple structure, namely a colour, and shows a simple way to implement a Gaussian blur to clean up noise in the image using the structure's definition.

It uses the new Inventor IDE Alpha 5b, which no longer requires MASM to assemble, and should be much easier to use.

Many thanks Neil for this great resource. On seeing your videos

on Assembly, I am motivated to learn this language that I have

longed to do for so long..

I am intereserad in learning assembly with focus on a few specific applications that I need to create. Any suggestions on any online help/email support on ideas ands assistance in creating the apps from scratch.

well done .I think that work done by Neil Dickson inn Assembly Language is admireable.thanx Mr Neil Dickson.Thanks for the instructive video tutorial. It's the first I have watched but appreciated the way you went slowly through each step. I will wtch more.

7. soulsweet Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:32

Is there any way I could download the files so I can follow along with the video and look over them afterwards

6. Neil Dickson Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:28

Hi! Good to hear that you guys getting some use out of the videos. :)

The first language I learned to program in was actually QBASIC, the last version of which was released shortly before I was born, lol. I tried writing games for quite a while, but I never had the patience to actually get one fully working, unfortunately.

5. anonymous Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:11

Hi Neil, I write fairly simple 2D games in BASIC and assembly language. I found your video informative (and so has at least one other user of the particular dialect of BASIC that we use).

Good work. :)

David.

Thanks! Sorry it's taken so long to get going on it again! I'm so glad I have time to make these again, and a few co-workers are insisting that I create the optimization tutorial I've wanted to make for a while, after we got an unexpectedly huge speedup on our quantum simulation system at http://aqua.dwavesys.com/ (like 10x-20x)

I really enjoyed the tutorial. It is concise and right to the point.

I have one request though. When making the screen shots please remove the mouse off the way. It covers your typing and somewhat annoying.

Thank you for putting the tutorial together.

Hi Neil....I've been trying to learn C++ for awhile now....Although I do understand basic concepts about the language I still can't make a real program with it....I thought learning a little bit about Assembly might give me a richer understanding about the structure of programming and might fill in a few blanks I still have in regards to programming
