ShowMeDo Blog

Jeff Rush (PSF Advocacy co-ordinator) wins our prize this month for creating the most-watched tutorial video at ShowMeDo. Jeff’s prize is a well-deserved £20 UK Amazon voucher.

Jeff’s ‘The ‘IPython’ Interactive Shell - Part 1‘ (from his ‘A Demonstration of the ‘IPython’ Interactive Shell‘ series) has been viewed 458 times in the last month.

This month we served over 26,000 tutorial videos, almost half for Python eyes. Our most popular videos are a mix about Django, wxPython, development environments (IPython, Wing, SPE, PyDev) and Python code-walkthroughs.

Do get in contact if you’d like to share your own knowledge or join us in our Google Group.

Jeff is our second winner, our first was Siddhi for his incredibly popular Django videos. Steve Holden (PSF) has also blogged about Jeff’s win.
