New ShowMeDos by John
John’s new ShowMeDos introducing Java using Eclipse are online. Most cool!
ShowMeDo Updates
Our ShowMeDo.com is growing nicely. We have 23 videos, 4 from contributors, with 3 new videos to add (using Java in Eclipse from John Montgomery). We’ve also getting great interest from visitors who want to make new videos – most cool!
Some of the offers we’ve had include videos for open source audio/video tools like Audacity and VirtualDubMod and Microsoft’s SQL server and C# language. Soon we’ll start to branch out into new topics including Java and Ruby, and then we’ll see where we go. We’d love to start hosting some real-world educational videos. Car mechanics and pottery, anyone?
The requests page demonstrates some of this interest – there’s a mix of geeky Python items along with Knot Tying and Knitting, to name a few. Everyone gets a vote, and I follow these up to find people who’d like to contribute.
The latest addition is the forum and shortly we’ll have a new theme courtesy of Kyran’s hard graft. All of this gets announced on the ShowMeDo Blog.
Back from skiing in Canada
Ok, so I’ve been quiet for a while. I’ve spent the last two weeks skiing in Banff, Canada (webcam). I’ve taken a bunch of photos [edit – they’re here], but have to find my Compact Flash adaptor first of all. In the meantime, I’m most proud of this one – my first Double Black Diamond at Norquay just outside Banff
taken with Duncan, just before we wandered on down…
Being proved wrong – in style
Not content to just try to verbally convince me that the even-numbered Star Trek films were superior to their odd-numbered bretheren, John went ahead and proved the result with a statistics test. Then kennon went and dugg it and the rest of the internet came visiting. Memetastic!
Two new ShowMeDo Videos for Python
I’ve added two new videos to ShowMeDo.com, both for the Python language (announced over here). The first is for how to write Python code using the SPE editor and the second is for debugging Python code using SPE and WinPDB.
These compliment our original Python videos and those for IPython.
