  "title": "Announcing Pragmatic Screencasts",
  "note": "I learn something new every time I watch a developer work.  Sometimes it's the little things, like a new command-line trick or a method I've never used.  Other times it's the big things that you can only learn while watching them \"in the zone\": their thought processes, how they refactor code, when they choose one technique over another, how they troubleshoot problems along the way, and so on.  Indeed, the best way to get inside a developer's head is to watch him work.  So I try to shoulder-surf as much as I can because it helps me find ways to improve my development workflow.\n\n\n\n\nI've had the good fortune to meet experienced developers working with a number\nof different languages and tools. Unfortunately, I can't always sit next to\nthem as they build applications. So I did the next best thingI asked\nthem to record what's going on inside their head while incrementally building\nan application. And I took on the role of development editor so they could\nfocus on showing you how they work. That turned into a bigger project than any\nof us imagined.\n\n\n\n\nIt's been a long time in the making, but I'm excited to announce the launch of\nour new screencasts project. To start with we have episodes in the following\nfour series:\n\n\n\n\nBuilding a Dynamic Website with ExpressionEngine with Ryan Irelan\nCreating a Compelling User Interface with Core Animation with Bill Dudney\nErlang By Example with Kevin Smith\nEveryday Active Record with Ryan Bates\n\n\n\nEach series has a few 20-30 minute episodes to start the season, and more\nepisodes are on the way. You can follow along with each twist and turn as they\nadd new features to shape the application over time. For $5 per episode, you\ncan download and watch DRM-free episodes in QuickTime and iPod/iPhone format\nwhen and where it's convenient for you. These folks have put a ton of work\ninto creating these screencasts, and I hope you'll support their time and effort.\n\n\n\n\nThis is very much an organic project. We'll be releasing new episodes every\ncouple weeks or so, and we're planning to release new screencasts on other\ntopics, as well.  (Let me know if you're interested in becoming a screencast creator.)  Make sure to check out the free previews, and we hope you'll\njoin us for the full season!",
