A List of Programming Screencast Series (avdi.org)

I've watched screencasts from about half of this list (I am a bit of a junkie...) and I can say, without a doubt, that the best one of the bunch is Destroy All Software.

Others may be better if you are new to program and want specific help with a certain tech (Ember.js, Rails, etc) but if you want the most bang for your buck, DAS is where it's at.


I haven't watched many others, but I'll definitely second that DAS is excellent.


Thank you, great list and kudos to those who produce the screencasts.

But man, screencasts will date fast. I learned a lot from [Node Tuts](http://nodetuts.com/), like how to use expressJS and MongoDB using Mongoose. Now all those contents are gone (well not technically, I saved them somewhere and it's still on Vimeo - but the tutorials are basically wrong). Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful for the tuts, I can pickup Mongoose today, and have no problem adapting.

For those new to the platform, there's nothing more frustrating than spending 30-60 minutes watching a few videos, then follow the instructions down to a T and failed.


I don't know if what we do is technically "screencasts" but it's still in that vein -

I do the SQL Server relational and multidimensional videos - we do full-blown courses that are roughly equivalent to a 5-7 day in-person course so it's not quite the same, I guess.


I love some of these, It's like a constant feed of live coding.

I wish there was some indication of which ones were free, freemium, paid, etc.


Avdi, love the tapas! :) What do you think about collaborating with some of the other wonderful content creators on this list to bundle, say, "Any 5 for $30"?


A rather large amount of videos and screencasts can be found at ShowMeDo: http://showmedo.com/


Does anybody know of any resources for Android? I've watched some Google IO presentations but all of the intro level ones are ancient at this point.


I'd love something for Go. I'm not sure why but I'm having trouble figuring out what to use it for.


Anyone have any recommendations for the best software for creating screencasts like these in Windows and Linux?


For Linux, have a look at RecordMyDesktop:

I've found Pedro Texeria's NodeTuts to be quite good.


All I see is html, javascript,ruby,etc..

Is there any c/c++ ?


For C (and Objective-C) I would highly recommend Apple Programming channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/AppleProgramming


Is there anything for Django?


http://neckbeardrepublic.com will be covering django specific topics soon.
