This post is an introduction to a series of “How to Code” screen casts, each designed to teach the basic concepts of a given technology. I’ve decided to use screen casts instead of online tutorials because they get the point across quicker. Also seeing is believing and once you see how easy some of these technologies actually are, you will have the confidence to explore them further on your own. The screen casts are NOT intended to give you a deep understanding of each technology, in fact they are designed to do just the opposite. They are intended to simplify the technology to it’s fundamental core with basic examples you can quickly grasp. Most start with a simple Hello World and elaborate until the primary concepts are addressed. There are thousands of books and online references on these technologies where you can get further information and I will make an effort to include links to relevant references for each post.
Additionally, the screen casts will be grouped logically such that one can get an entire overview of a related set of technologies within the group. Grouped posts will also follow a recommended sequence which build on the concepts and examples of the previous screen cast within the group. This will allow you to gain a broader understanding of the related technologies and how they “fit” together to address a larger technical domain.
After watching a given screen cast and reading the post, please don’t hesitate to submit your questions and comments and I will do my best to answer them within the post or in a follow-on screen cast. Happy Coding!
The following is an outline of my planned screen casts. As they become available I will add a link here. Feel free to bookmark this post and come back to see watch the latest and greatest.
