ShowMeDo Blog

Marius und ich haben die ersten beiden Videos einer neuen Videoserie online gestellt. Es handelt sich bei dieser Serie um “Programmierung mit Python“. Sie knüpft direkt an unsere Einsteigerserie an und soll den Schritt vom Beherrschen der theoretischen Grundlagen zum Schreiben praktischer Programme erleichtern. Dazu werden wir in jeder Episode ein kleines Programm schreiben, das mehr oder weniger nützlich ist, aber völlig funktionsfähig. Wir erhoffen uns, mit dieser neuen Serie wieder so erfolgreich zu sein wie mit der Einführung in die Programmierung mit Python.

Wir sind natürlich wie immer offen für Kritik - positiv und negativ - und Anregungen bzw. Anmerkungen.

We’ve had two great mentions in the last few days. The first was by Og Macial who posted after buying a Club subscription to learn Python:

Today I subscribed to ShowMeDo, a web site dedicated to providing tutorials in the format of screencasts. The tutorials cover many programming topics with Python being the one that got me to get a paid subscription. I managed to watch a few episodes during my lunch break… and was blown away at how easy it is to follow the sessions!

Next we have an example of embedding a video in a blog by Markus Thielmann:

ShowMeDo is yet another open source video tutorial site. What makes it superior to other sites is it’s huge selection on topics, ranging from beginner tutorials to advanced software development.

I was very happy to accept an invite from Alan Pope of the Ubuntu UK Screencasting team last weekend to do an interview for their monthly podcast (ogg/mp3s here).

We spoke about many topics including why Kyran and I started the site, our 50 Ubuntu screencasts and how easy it is to make screencasts for ShowMeDo.

Tony’s post lists the podcast’s topics:

• Unix/Linux Malware & Security precautions,
• Interview with Ian Ozsvald from Showmedo,
• A short phone call from Mark Shuttleworth,
• Plus the sarcastic news,
• And a competition to get money off Ubuntu schwag.

Many thanks to Tony (for hosting within hours of returning from San Francisco!), Alan, Dave, Ciemon and Graham for the invite.

My pyWin32 tutorial series is now finished. Six screencasts lasting 30 minutes take you through:

• Overview
• Talking to Excel with pyWin32
• Tip - Cleanly Quit Excel and del the local reference
• Quick Graphing via Excel
• Using Excel for Input
• A COM Server in Python in 20 Lines

This series is a part of Club ShowMeDo which contains specially recorded Python training screencasts to help you to learn Python the easy way.

In the Club we have 6 series covering pyWin32, CGI, website testing, wxPython, a first Python application and development environments. Soon we’ll also have a series on the Google Application Engine and I’m planning a Python-beginners series to follow.

The Club videos are a part of our 240 Python Tutorial screencasts, most of which are free and cover a huge range of topics.

Web-programming is a pretty big topic. Complex web-apps might require the knowledge of SQL, Javascript, HTML, CSS as well as a language like Python. It can be quite overwhelming. There are many frameworks that will help you handle this complexity (e.g. Django, Turbogears or Pylons), but if you don’t know roughly what they are doing behind the scenes you can find yourself in trouble later on.

If you want to learn web-programming, then CGI (Common Gateway Interface) can be a good place to start - letting you learn the basics before moving onto more complex tasks. It’s really easy to write a CGI script with Python and the cgi module and these videos in Club ShowMeDo can help you on the way:

• Introduction to Python web-programming: CGI (Free)
• Using Python’s CGIHTTPServer module to run CGI scripts
• Using Python’s CGI module
• Writing a Python CGI Wiki - viewing pages
• Writing a Python CGI Wiki - displaying an edit form

In future episodes I’ll expand the CGI wiki to save pages, auto-link “wiki words” and generally finish the basic code. Those episodes should appear over the next couple of weeks.

This is one of our ShowMeDo Club tutorials for subscribers, a part of our 231 (mostly free) screencasts that help you to learn Python. Subscribers get access to 6+ hours of Python tutorials, exercises and walk-throughs with new episodes every week.

I gave a lightning talk yesterday night at the 2-years birthday party of Metalab in Vienna, Austra.

I was talking about the ShowMeDo videos I did in Metalab and about the (not yet published) first Python xturtle-video-tutorial in Catalan language.

The audience were more interested in beginning the birthday party, chatting and drinking beer (I shared this lack of interest from the audience with the other lightning speakers), but as far as I know this was the first -public- speech about ShowMeDo in Austria and maybe even the first public speech about ShowMeDo in the German language.

Steve has built a series of 6 videos for OpenStreetMap. He covers:

• OpenStreetMap introduction A introduction to using and getting started with OpenStreetMap.
• Potlatch introduction A introduction to the openstreetmap.org online Flash-based editor, potlatch.
• GPSBabel How to use GPS babel on a mac to get data off of your GPS and in to GPX. Some applicability to windows users also as it’s a similar interface.
• JOSM basic introduction A basic introduction to JOSM - the Java OpenStreetMap editor
• Photos in JOSM How to pull in photos of street signs etc in to JOSM.
• Editing in JOSM How to edit data in JOSM, the Java OpenStreetMap editor

Felix schaber and Horst Jens are building a series on using Genetic Algorithms with Python and xturtle to breed interesting pictures.  The title is Python: xturtle, random und genetischer Algorithmus.

The series is in German (with English subtitles) and builds upon a previous series:

dies ist die deutsche Übersetzung der englischen Video-Tutorial-Serie create art with xturtle and random

I’ve started another Club series to show you how to use pyWin32 on Windows to talk to COM-aware applications like Excel.

Personally I’ve used Excel as a simple charting tool for quick science research. I figured that several screencasts on this leading to the creation of a Python COM server would make for a good introduction. The COM server can be used to embed Python code into other applications.

The 3 minute overview gives you an introduction to what’s covered. For the first two episodes I talk about using pyWin32 to talk interactively to Excel and fixing some weird behaviour with local references that’ll catch you out when you start experimenting.

The weird behaviour doesn’t cleanly close a previous Excel instance so you can’t start another one - you have to delete the process in TaskManager each time if you don’t know how to close things down nicely.

Over the next 10 days I’ll release the next three episodes covering:

• using Excel for charting
• using Excel for input as well as output
• building a Python COM server which we call from within Excel

This is one of our ShowMeDo Club tutorials for subscribers, a part of our 231 (mostly free!) screencasts that help you to learn Python. Subscribers get access to 6+ hours of Python tutorials, exercises and walk-throughs with new episodes every week.

[This is a re-print of the monthly Update Email that is sent to all of our Members]

The biggest change you might notice right now is that we’ve added a statement-of-purpose to our frontpage:
http://showmedo.com/
which says that ShowMeDo is focusing on Free & Open-Source software.

Here’s a part of it:
“We’re here to help address the need for good documentation and tutorials, the lack of which, we believe, prevents some great software from gaining the popularity it deserves. If you want to contribute, just join-up and submit a video. It’s a great way to give something back.”

You’ll find notes on making and uploading videos at the end of this email. We’d love to see more videos on topics like Inkscape, OpenOffice, Linux, programming and useful applications.

Helping by spreading the word:
You can help in another way too - spreading the word about our videos is just as important as making them. Do you have a favourite topic here? Remember the pain of trying to find the right documentation and just finding it to be all out of date (or maybe to not even exist!)?

If something here would have helped you in the past - why not write a post telling the right people how to find it?

New Subscription Club Videos:
The ShowMeDo Subscription Club keeps growing, now we have 5 series lasting almost 6 hours:
http://showmedo.com/club
covering:
* pyWin32 for Windows COM - (being published this month)
* wxPython for Beginners (made in March)
* Reliable website testing with twill and nosetests (made in March)
* Python Development and IDEs including PyDev and IDLE
* Python 101 - easygui and csv

Both Kyran Dale and John Montgomery will be publishing their first Club series soon. The new topics will include:
* More wxPython (with more advanced controls and sizers)
* Python CGI (the fundamentals of web-programming with just plain Python 2.5)
* Beginner Python

Join the Club to learn more about Python. Club membership can cost just $5 (US) per month, refunds are (of course!) available, we’re happy to answer any questions you have:
http://showmedo.com/club

Conference Call on Thursday:
Every month we have a conference call, a group of us get together to discuss the latest happenings in ShowMeDo and what needs to be done. You are encouraged to join the call (even if just to lurk and listen in). We run the conferences using free VoIP software (gizmo5 on SIP) on the second Thursday of the month in the UK evening.

You’ll find more details in the ShowMeDo author group, we’ll be arranging the details in the next day or so. Keep an eye on this thread for details:
http://groups.google.com/group/showmedo/browse_thread/thread/1d5a47cafda00722

Fabio’s PyDev video is the most popular video of the month:
Last year we ran a series of most-popular-video-of-the-month competitions - whoever was top of the most-popular list at the end of the month:
http://showmedo.com/mostPopular
won a £20 Amazon gift voucher (or something equivalent for those not in the UK). This month Fabio wins - his long-standing PyDev videos have always been high in our listings:
http://groups.google.com/group/showmedo/browse_thread/thread/f427df1c4c37505d

Well done Fabio!

In the ShowMeDo Learners group:
http://groups.google.com/group/showmedo-learners/t/b9fb4c0b2071c8ce
I was happy to announce that we have a long and colourful article in this month’s Python Papers:
http://pythonpapers.org/
(vol 3 issue 1) which discusses some of our better-known Python authors including Siddhi, André, Jeff, Lucas, Horst and Erik. The article also mentions why users should make screencasts to help document open-source - we humbly suggest that you think about giving back to the community by creating screencasts on your own favourite topics.

In the Learners group marlow has posted a link to a nice article on ‘Why use nosetests? To help you work “without any thought!”‘. Anyone who isn’t using unit-tests but wants to know why they should ought to take a look at this!
http://groups.google.com/group/showmedo-learners/browse_thread/thread/8889750ba86841ba

Are you a member of the Learners Group? It is the ideal place to ask questions and share your own knowledge. We urge you to join the group:
http://groups.google.com/group/showmedo-learners

How to add your own screencasts:
Making a screencast is very easy - if you have the software installed you can produce a 5 minute screencast in just 5 minutes. Everything you need to know can be found here:
http://showmedo.com/addVideoInstructions

The basic steps are:
1) Install screencasting software - free on Windows and Linux, shareware on Mac
2) Test your mic (built-in mics and basic headsets work just fine - half our authors use this sort of equipment)
3) Draft a 5 minute demo on paper - pretend you are giving an off-the-cuff demo to a friend
4) Press ‘record’ and start your screencast - you can re-record as many times as you need to
5) Login to ShowMeDo, visit ‘my page’ and ‘add a new video’ - give it 30 minutes to process and then preview the result
6) We’ll publish it within a day (we always preview new material - we don’t want any spam in ShowMeDo like some of those ‘video-sharing sites’…)

If you can give a demo to a friend then you can make a screencast to teach people around the world - you’ll be giving something back to the community and helping to make more people aware of open-source. If you want advice and you’d like to meet our authors just visit our Authors Group (everyone’s very friendly!):
http://groups.google.com/group/showmedo
