CouchDB Screencast

Another interesting screencast from PeepCode this week, which I came to know because of their screencast and pdf on the Git distributed revision control system.


Otherwise they seem to focus on Ruby on Rails.


This time they teamed up with Jan Lehnardt of CouchDB, who wrote:

Hello everybody,

Geoffrey Grosenbach, famous for his PeepCode (http://peepcode.com/)
screencasts for developers, released a "CouchDB & Rails" screencast.
It is useful even if you don't do Rails but want to learn CouchDB. Go check
it out. It is only $9 and a free preview is available.

Cheers
Jan

PS: If enough people buy this one, Geoffrey will work on more advanced
follow-up screencasts and I totally want that, so please do me a favour :)

So did I, because I want more Erlang stuff produced.

Erlang in Practice - Screencasts with Kevin Smith

Pragmatic has renamed Kevin's screencast series to "Erlang in Practice".

So far there have been six episodes:

• Episode 1: Sending and Receiving Chat Messages ($5.00, 30 mins)
• Episode 2: Messaging Clients By Nickname ($5.00, 29 mins)
• Episode 3: Distributing Clients In A Multi-node Environment ($5.00, 31 mins)
• Episode 4: Storing Messages in the Mnesia Database ($5.00, 39 mins)
• Episode 5: Unit Testing with EUnit ($5.00, 29 mins)
• Episode 6: Adding REST Support with MochiWeb ($5.00, 46 mins)

I bought episode 5 and liked it, so I bought the rest as well.

The price is fair, especially if you live in the Euro zone, thanks to the weak dollar I paid around €3.20 per episode.

Erlang by Example - Screencasts with Kevin Smith

Pragmatic offers a series of commercial videos, "Erlang by Example - Screencasts with Kevin Smith".

It is intended to help learning Erlang by going through an example project, a chat application.

So far there are three episodes of about 1/2 hour, priced at $5.
