Progressing…

I've completed the tutorial project (not the regular, full-blown version) for the screencast. It's a simple django interface with admin interface and a public view for the tickets. I was thinking of adding more public views, but that might extend the length of the screencast to more than 30 minutes. I'll try making the screencast and see how much time I have left for more features.

Screencasting Progress

The screencast work is progressing slowly. I've created the base HTML/CSS for the majority of pages for the site. Since the tutorial isn't focused on the design, it's some css & html that was quickly thrown together for a decent layout. Now to work on the django project ;)

Nothing too fancy. The screencast will use this html file to assist in creating templates.

Nettuts Tutorial

With the announcement of the NETTUTs screencast competition, I've decided to create a django screencast, which hopefully won't fail like my django-chat application (which was too large to create a reasonably sized tutorial. Although Nettuts doesn't have any dedicated tutorials for django, so I'm crossing my fingers that they'll accept it. Now I just have to complete a small project and create a screencast about it. My basic timeline is:

  1. Complete the project within a week (completing it earlier would be better!)
  2. Learn Camtasia Studio
  3. Use Camtasia Studio to create the screencast.
  4. Create audio clips to voice the screencast video.
  5. Submit it

All before Janurary 31st.

I'm hoping that the idea of some cash is a good motivator for a dirt, poor college student ;) . Which will temporarily divert my priorities to create a complete tutorial instead of working solely on programming projects. I'll try to post my progress.
