Any volunteers to help with demo screencasts?

Dear friends!

I've recently found someone struggling with the process of solving and submitting answers in reddit: link to his comment

So I start wondering if we can have a handful of demo screencasts showing approaches to work with the site. I even found that someone already created video-clip at youtube explaining basics:

However I think we may need some more demos, to explain, for example:

• writing code in separate editor and running it in console with Python, for example - with copy-pasting input data and answers to and from site;
• writing and running code in IdeOne;
• using rich IDE's like VisualStudio (for C++ or C#) or NetBeans (for Java) - also with copying and pasting the answers etc;
• solving interactive problems;
• solving some other problem rather than A+B - for example Sums in Loop - probably it is needed since people are trying to copy answers one by one;
• tell me what more I probably have forgotten.

We shall collect references to such videos on this page, accessible with new link from the main page.

So if any of you would like to help - it would be great. You can either post your videos on your youtube channel or send them to me so I can upload them myself - it is to your liking.

I'm afraid that I could not repay such kind of help at least in money - so I hope to find a few volunteers. Of course your copyrights are going to be preserved so all viewers will se that it is your personal contribution! :)

While English is the most sought language I think it would be good to have also videos in different languages like Spanish, French, Hindi, Russian for example etc. So if you want to help but do not speak English well (just like me) - it would be still valuable to make contribution in your native language!

P.S. I think I can make Russian version, though I prefer to engage my wife to make narration since female voice I think may have positive marketing effect :D

> I’m afraid that I can’t make videos (I totally suck)

Ah, the same with me :)

Idea with images is not too bad - especially for people who do not like or could not watch videos - currently we even have such demo - but for it we should find some convenient way to host and manage images and texts... The problem is that if you create some tutorial and I'll put it directly on CodeAbbey - you'll not be able to edit / update it if you want, which does not seem convenient.

Though we can use "wiki" on Github for collaboration - there pages are edited using similar "markdown" as in this forum...
