[ANN] core.async (and more) video tutorials

[Timothy Baldridge]

From time to time I get asked to do more writing on core.async, and I've come to the realization that try as I might, I'm not a writer. However I recently started a set of video tutorials I'm making available today.

The videos average about 12min in length and focus on a single topic. Currently I have 5 videos on core.async completed and two on logic programming. I plan on expanding both series over time. My plans are to release 2-3 videos a week but that may change over time. 

At any rate, the videos are available here (https://tbaldridge.pivotshare.com/). Yes, there is a small charge for the majority of the videos, but think of it as a way to prod me to make more tutorials. 

Thanks! And hopefully this will be useful to some.

Awesome! Thanks Tim!

Nice work! I've really enjoyed your past videos.

Thanks for the videos. The first one was good. What text editor are you using in the videos? I haven't seen that one before.

[Timothy Baldridge]

I'm using Cursive Clojure (Intelij). It has a "Presentation Mode" which is pretty good, but I use Cursive as my main IDE these days.

The videos look very good and seem very interesting.

One idea: some video about how to create & configure a project in cursive would be helpful as well.

A Cursive Clojure video is in the pipeline. Thanks for the idea!

Zippers might be another good topic. They ship with Clojure and are a bit mystical to folks who are curious but don't know how to get started.

[Juan Manuel Gimeno Illa]

Will there be a forum to ask questions about the videos? 

And will the code be available (although I think rewriting it may reforce learning sometimes I won't have the time)? 

Thanks !!

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the wonderful Logic intro video.
Any idea if you'll be doing more of Logic tutorials?

Your video was actually quite helpful.
I never really understood it, but getting a sense of it.
Looking forward to more of Logic videos :).

Btw When I click on the download video button, nothing gets downloaded.
Tried on Firefox/Chrome - Mac. Is that a known issue?

Also, I had sent you this email via support on that site but didn't get any reply,
so resending it on this thread.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Same here. I could only download the videos I paid for, but not the free one.

Also, I had sent you this email via support on that site but didn't get any reply,
so resending it on this thread.

Thanks a lot.

[Juan Manuel Gimeno Illa]

Seems strange. I get 0 downloads remaining for all the videos (both the free and the paid).

Greate work, Tim! 

My advice is to split the screen by vertical but not horisontal. Your code are not so wide and there is a lot of empty space on the right side.

I think it would be useful to place a REPL to the right side of the screen to obtain a vast space for code and REPL ineractions.

What about it?

 

[Timothy Baldridge]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

1) Yes, there seems to be an issue with downloading free videos. From what I'm seeing in the admin settings I only have the option for "paid and downloadable" and "free". Free disables the downloading. I'll contact PivotShare and see if they can change that. 

2) Sounds like a good idea to split vertical. I'll give it a try in the next video

3) yes, I plan on uploading more logic tutorials. The next should be out tonight, after that maybe once a week? I'd like to focus on core.async, but having a range of topics is nice for breaking up the pace a bit. 

Thanks again, 

Timothy Baldridge

I'm unable to download even the paid ones. I'll contact PivotShare as well.

Great !!!

Forgive me if I just missed it, but do you have the code from the videos somewhere? I was toying with the pipeline< example and kept feeling like it'd be nice to just grab the source.

Thanks,
'(Devin Walters)

[Juan Manuel Gimeno Illa]

Where can we asks questions about de videos?  Will the site create a kind of forum for it?

Thanks.

Juan Manuel

PS:  I've been having problems reproducing the behaviour of the code in the second episode on aync.

Thanks for doing these Tim! Very good stuff.

Would like to echo the above requests for source code. Can you put what you're working from on github for all the videos? I found myself wanting to use some of your pipeline stuff today and I'd rather not watch 20 minutes of video again to type it out....

[Timothy Baldridge]

Code is here: https://github.com/halgari/clojure-tutorial-source

I'll try to get a forum setup soon, or at least some sort of mailing list
