Hey folks, Doing Computers is a screencast series started at the beginning of this year to visually teach programming ideas with live-coding.

The latest release is "Clojure for Rubyists"

I'm working on new releases each week, and am still experimenting with this screencast format. Tasteful feedback on content and presentation is appreciated.

Thanks for checking it out!


Thanks! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the format.

At the beginning of this month I create a standard speaking/coding screencast and I didn't love it. I opted to cut out speaking and focus it entirely on live-coding.

I think it's worth developing further, I'm trying to continue making this series full-time this year.

Next month I'll be launching an app where full-resolution copies of previous screencasts can be purchased, but if you're interested, donors on patreon are emailed copies early on release days. http://patreon.com/doingcomputers

Thanks again!


Hey, I've started a new screencast series at the beginning of this month. It focuses on showing concepts in Clojure through live-coding.

Like all software, this series is a work-in-progress -- tasteful feedback on the content and presentation is appreciated!

See the video's comments on youtube for corrections to mistakes I made while recording.


A few things: I just subscribed to your channel, watching you code is very relaxing, and you just introduced me to some new music. I've already purchased one song - the one in the video.

One of my goals this year is to work through a few Clojure books. Watching you write code in JS and then Clojure is great since I spend nearly all of my coding hours at work in JS. So to see the two side by side is really nice.

I'll try and watch some of your other videos this weekend and provide some additional feedback as well as possible content for future videos - assuming you're looking for feedback that specific. Thanks for the video!


Thanks, I'm really happy that you like it :D

Regarding feedback: I read every comment on youtube and patreon message. If anything is confusing, doesn't have enough context to stand on its own, or goes by too quickly, please let me know! Or any other thoughts you might have.

I'm hoping to refine this format of screencasts over the coming year, and sincere feedback is surprisingly hard to come by! Any thoughts you have are appreciated.
